Okay so I had surgery in august 2021 and just had my iud taken out last month due to weird and irregular bleeding. My ob said if I was to fall pregnant it would be 6-9 months from now due to hormones balancing out. My period is a week late and took a pregnancy test and it’s positive .. the line is kinda faint so idk for sure but my weight also seems to have stabilized ?? I haven’t lost any weight since February im fluctuating between 180-183 weekly but that’s it. I’ve seen horror stories where people have been pregnant and their surgeon was rude about it because they weren’t a year out yet. I’m kinda afraid to tell them.. help

Thank you for that im going to reach out to my OB now.

Just curious has anyone gotten pregnant after a sleeve and how soon after? Im about 5 months post op 55 pounds down and think i might be pregnant im worried

Oh wow god bless you !

What what it like the first time of you don’t mind me asking? Did you loose weight after?

Hey it’s me back with questions lol. im at my 6 month mark. I went from 253 before surgery to 184 but I’m at 190 for the last week with no budge or change. I’m not sure if I’m not eating enough or eating too much. I eat around 800-900 calories a day some days a little over 900 i stopped working out because I wasn’t seeing a difference but idk . My goal was 180 and I was so close but I’m back up 6 pounds and it won’t go away. Any advice ?

Thank you so much my doctor says I should be working up to eat in the 1000-1200 calorie range but it’s kind of hard for me to eat that much still. It’s either I eat and don’t get enough fluids or get the fluids and not enough food. I also still don’t eat many of the food I cut out like starch and breads and snacks

Congrats! I ended up not being pregnant but how is it going for you if you don’t mind me asking? When I informed my surgeon they treated me like a child and told me it was irresponsible and that I need to wait until I’m 18 months out from surgery to be pregnant

Thank you, I’ve been scared to eat more in fear of gaining weight but I will try it !

Hey so I had surgery august 5th this year and I lost about 50 pounds but I can’t get under 200 pounds. I know it may not be a big deal as I know and have mentioned this to people who are trying to get to 200 but I was 250 and counting and now that I’m at 200 I feel like I’m at a stand still and can’t go under 200. I work out, I opt to take the stairs instead of my elevator if I’m not carrying anything heavy, I drink maybe one protein shake a day instead of two now because I’ve been trying to eat actual food (for a while I wouldn’t eat more than a few bites) and it’s like nothing is working. Any tips?

Yes I been following and earring 800 calories a day sometimes less because I don’t eat much I get full so fast. The only thing I’ve been struggling with a lot is water, my stomach hurts after a few sips

Okay so I’m transitioning to regular diet in about three weeks and I was wondering if anyone has tried foods they would normally eat? Like pasta , pizza, salads, etc. my nurse said I should be fine to eat it but I’m the booklet my nutritionist gave me it said to avoid these things. I’m just nervous, I’m eating soft food and my stomach already doesn’t like much so I don’t wanna try anything I shouldn’t have but I have been craving pizza lmfao

Hey, I’ve actually had tomato soup for most of my liquid diet and even sometimes now and my stomach has been fine so I might be okay with tomato sauce idk I’m scared to try anything tbh. I was thinking of Naan, or gluten free bread but gluten free may have the same affect as regular bread. I have found alts to all of the foods I used to love it’s just I don’t know how im going to eat lol. I been eating a bit and getting full after two bites to which my family is like wth lol. But I will definetley work my way up to pizza. I really want to try cauliflower pizza but the only one I could find is this frozen one at target or if I make it at home and let me tell you .. I am no chef lol

Thank you so much for this. I’ve been planning to try alternatives like cauliflower pizza and vegan burgers because I’ve ate it before and loved it. I just never knew anybody else whose had a sleeve or any bariatric surgery and I know the nurse they sent to my home does not know what she is talking about. I was never big on rice or pasta unless it was gnocchi. I reallly appreciate this

Agreeed I can barley eat one scrambled egg right now

Hey I made this account bevause I been snooping around to see if anyone has been experiencing what I’m experiencing. I since decided to make an account because I am about 2 weeks post op and today I noticed that the largest incision looks a little open. Idk if I moved to much and broke it or if it was scabbed and pealed off in my sleep. I panicked and put a bandaid over that piece and contacted my home nurse but I doubt I’ll get a response on the weekend. It’s not leaky or anything but the bandaid did have a little bit of blood not like a lot but enough to leave a dot on the bandaid. Should I be worried?

Yeah I think so too , did you go back to the doctor ?

Thank you so much I really needed the reassurance

I had mine august 5th
