I am due to get surgery on 6/18 and my big motivator is having a baby with my amazing husband. We don't have any children due to pcos. I am 35 and I hope that I will get pregnant soon! Kaisers says 2 years but u want to wait 1 year. I keep having a dream about this beautiful lil boy who looks just like my husband I desperately want to meet him. I wish I could have done this sooner. Please forgive me if I am sounding too emotional!!

Thanks for the hope you have all given me.

Of course you are not being too emotional!! I am 21 and having a child (in the future, not now :D ) was one of my motivations to have this surgery. You are not the first on these boards either whose main motivation for the surgery was to have children. I believe there is even section on this site specifically for people post-sleeve who are pregnant or who are trying to become pregnant!! If you haven't already you should check it out for sure :)

Good luck! You're surgery will be here before you know it. And hopefully that beautiful little angel as well :)

I was sleeved June 20, 2011 and found out I was pregnant jan 27, 2012 only 7 months out!! I was shocked! I've lost 105 lbs over 25 of that while pregnant I'm 5 months haven't gained anything and my little boy is healthy and measuring big!! :) getting pregnant was one of my many reasons I wanted to be sleeved, because I knew it would be too unhealthy for me & too risky for a baby at my size, but I never thought it would be this soon!! I wish you all the success with the sleeve and having a baby! The sleeve has really changed my life, and I just feel so lucky to have had such an amazing tool to help me in my weight loss journey and life!

Emily, thanks for your kind words! :)

Lovely, that gives me so much hope. My husband and I have been trying for six years with no success! I hope it happens for me too! Thanks for sharing your story.

Good luck to you all! :)

Having a child in a few years is a major reason i choose to do the surgery as well. I have horrible pcos and have misscarried, i am also 21.

Veronica,

Your story sounds a lot like mine. I've been married to the most amazing man for just about 5 years. My weight seems to be the only reason we have never gotten pregnant in all this time so this is my biggest reason for getting sleeved in July. Doc says we need to wait 2 years to get pregnant which will put me at close to 35 if we get pregnant 2 years from now. My husband is already 45 and we both want a baby very badly. I feel very hopeful when I read many of these threads that our dream will come true. Best of luck on your surgery tomorrow!

      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.
