I am so glad you are doing well, and that you are well on your way to a full recovery ! ! !

Good for you! I'm glad you made the right decision, after all it's for YOU not your family members, except for your cute baby who is going to need a slim mommy to chase him all over the place in a bit. . . hehehe. . . glad to hear your feeling well and are up and about. . . hope to hear more of your experiences and weight loss soon! Good luck

If you have any supply issues, there is a wonder product (liquid) called More Milk Plus. You can buy it at Luckyvitamin.com

I am a midwife - I had a client who had insufficient milk supply with her baby. After that baby she had a mastectomy - so only one breast. When she got pregnant again, she didn't know if she should even try to breastfeed. With More Milk Plus she had enough milk for her baby.

I am glad things went well for you. I get my band out next week and then my sleeve in December. I have some issues that need to resolve between the 2 surgeries. I am having my surgery in Dallas. Who is your surgeon?

This is a good recommendation. Also, Fenugreek pills work really well for a lot of women.

I'm not a midwife, but I'm an amateur breastfeeding expert. I'm the one who gives all my friends advice and I like to think I've helped a few. If you start having supply problems, ask me. I had horrible supply problems too. You can also post on the La Leche League forums, lots of LLL leaders there.

Good luck to you! :thumbup:

I'm just over a week post op and am overall feeling better. I'm down 19 lbs...maybe a little too fast as I'm concerned I'm not getting enough fluids or calories down. I had my post op appt yesterday and they took out the staples. Everything looked good. I am having some problems with sweating after I eat and just feeling yucky, but it goes away after about 40 minutes. I'm pretty tired of the Protein Shakes, but the Soups are ok and have 15 grams of Protein. I'm still able to breastfeed, but am supplementing a bottle of frozen breastmilk to make sure my baby is getting enough to eat. He's a big boy at over 18lbs at 4 months! So far so good, I'm glad I got this done now and am on my way to being healthy for my son.

YAY I'm glad you updated. I hope the sweating and icky feeling after eating subsides for you.

My surgeon is Dr. Jayaseelan at Medical City. He is really wonderful.

Glad you're through it and doing so well. I still get shaky and feel quite unwell with sweating and palpitations sometimes and attribute it to either eating too much or too quickly. Just take it easy.
