I'm glad someone wrote about this. I'm actually dying to have kids. I just turned 30 and I've been waiting for things to fall into place (get a job, get a house, lose weight) b4 i have kids. But here I am at 30 and none of that has happened for me. I was like forget it, i just want a baby. So I went to my endo (i have pcos) he said he would rather me weigh less but it wasn't impossible to have a baby at my weight. but i told him i was starting to contemplate WLS. The lap band to be exact. He was super duper supportive. He thought it would be the best thing for me and he rooted for me to get it. However he told me I should get gastric bypass and not the sleeve. I was NOT cool with that. Then he said you know what you should get actually, the new one, whats it called, the sleeve. And I didn't really do research on it so I was like no. lol. But now that i've looked into it I'm dead set on the sleeve.

But he told me he has a patient who had bypass and is pregnant now and she's doing just great! Also I spoke to a girl on OH that is pregnant now after she got her sleeve. I'm so anxious to get the sleeve so i can loose weight and have kids already! I want 2 or 3 kids. I wanted more but realistically i don't know if it will happen because i wanted to space them 3-4 years apart and i'm already 30. not to mention by the time i get the sleeve and get to the point where doctors say its ok to have kids i'll probably 32 or 33. way later than i wanted to have kids. i feel like right now i'm running out of time. i want babies! lol.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
