Twins and still losing wieght!! Triple Bonus!! :D

I know lol It makes me a little nervous at times because I'm not sure if they're getting enough of what they need to grow. I am eating and snacking every few hours if I wait like before and only have three meals a day I get nauseous lol

Congrats! Lots of Protein will help them, and plenty of good carbs. If you aren't the type to panic or scare easily, Dr. Barbara Luke's book about multiples is a good read. But if you'll feel guilt or worry about not eating enough don't read the book because I've heard some women say it scared them.

I have boy/girl twins that are five and while there have been hurdles here and there it's been a wonderful, awesome, fun experience. You know your body best, so pay attention to what you need (food, rest, whatever) and you'll do just fine!

Okay, so a few years ago I posted my before/after photos and got a ton of ladies talking about how they also had twins. Now, as far as twins conceived post sleeve? I really couldn't say but not one case comes to mind.

So there are several of us who have twins of varying ages here on the boards but I'm pretty sure Amytequilahouse is the first one I've seen to conceive them post op.

And oh yeah, they'll keep you busy for a while. I firmly believe in the flip-flop theory my other mom friends and I share. Either you have difficult babies or toddlers, but most folks are lucky enough that they don't wind up with both. My twins? Easiest babies ever. Seriously - the single I have right now is more demanding and challenging than the two of them were.

But OH the toddler years...I could tell some stories about the mischief, mayhem and destruction my duo caused in the three minutes it took me to use the restroom, or the five minutes I took to go switch laundry downstairs. Oh yeah...they were something else! I lost a bunch of weight chasing them, though. :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
