Just Cleared To Start Trying...



Recommended Posts

I am so excited! My surgeon just cleared me and my hubby to start trying to conceive! We tried for 3 years prior to my surgery with no sucess. I have a beautiful 6 year old son, but I always dreamed of having another. Hopefully with all this weight off my body and my healthier habits, we will be successful. Anyone else go through this? How long did it take for you to get pregnant? I am just so happy about the possibility that I could cry!!!

Great News. And the best thing is that for the first time in a long while you are getting permission for something fun...

Beats when we got permission to: 1) eat slushy foods; 2) eat solid foods; 3) start excercising...

A really good friend of mine has had problems conceiving for a few years... He has a great attitude. He says, "If you are going to be a failure at something, this is it.... 'cuse you get to keep on trying!!"

I have heard that if you play chanting music from the middle ages while facing NNE on a Tuesday before a full moon, between the hours of 9:00 and 10:00pm GMT, with new blue sheets after eating anchovies and marshmellows with a silver spoon from a paper cup, you are GUARANTEED to conceive. Could just be an old wives' tale...

Best of luck to you...

Congrats on being cleared to try. My situation is different so my input on how long it took won't help you. That said, as half of a couple that struggled with infertility, I would suggest that you actively try for six months. If you haven't had even a late period in that time, move onto asking for help. Doctors love to blame our weight when we have trouble conceiving but that's not always the issue. A number of women do report increased fertility after surgery, so hopefully you'll have no problems. But if you do find it's taking a while, you should try to have some simple tests run to see if there's another reason it's not happening easily.

Best of luck! :)

Yay for being able to try! Our stories are almost identical. I had my daughter in 2006 and tried unsuccessfully for another child for 2 years before having my VSG. I am now one year post-op and we started trying again this month too! I have PCOS and have to take Clomid, should find out next week if it worked. I would love to keep up with you and your progress!

      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.
