9Months Post-Op and Pregnant!



Recommended Posts

I just turned 9 months post-op and have lost a total of 112lbs...love it. :) My husband and I always wanted a family (im 22 hes 25) but we knew we would have problem. we have not been protecting ourselves before surgery and in 5 years nothing happened. I had the surgery Oct 9th 2013. starting getting a period every month since December but still ranges from 32-41 days. I want to be a mom so bad...ive had scares since surgery but I was crampy and all that but then starting yesterday I was beginning nausea and I still get mild cramps. I went to work was sent home due to me not feeling good. but told me to take a test(which I thought I wasn't and there's no way) so I went grabbed a test to just shush everyone up lol. So I got home took the 1st test and immediately and it came back a clear POSITIVE under 45 secs! I was shocked took the second one and again POSITIVE!!!! I go this morning for a blood test..i couldn't be happier. Im scared that the blood test is going to come back wrong...but they say u cant really get FALSE POSITIVES, especially on 2 tests! and being how clear it was!!! So is it safe to say IM PREGNANT?!?!?!?!?!? :)

Your story makes me so excited! My husband and I have tried for years unsuccessfully too and this was the reason I had surgery. I'm a month behind you and your post gives me so much hope! My periods have been consistent the past 4 months and before surgery, they were either non-existent or went on forever and ever. Looking forward to following your story so make sure to keep us updated. :)

      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.
