Be careful. They tell you to wait for a reason. It's not just your eating, your body is going through a LOT of changes and you want to make sure you are providing a safe environment for the baby.

I know it does. But a year and a half is nothing compared to a safe, healthy baby!

Not that it can't be done, as jerz is proof! Just think it through and make the best decision for your future baby :)

Oh wow that really close to surgery. I hope all is okay. I'm 5 months post op and I'm not preventing it. All my eating and drinking has been great so I should be ok then. Well see Im not sure its easy for me to get pregnant its just a wish.

That's what I said. Before surgery I tried for 13 years to have another baby. I took fertility meds and everything. I was only on birth control pills to make my period stop because sometimes it would last for months. I never thought in a million years I would get pregnant on my own.

That's what everyone says! My son thinks I'm crazy (he's 14)

Went to the doc today and got to hear my babe's heartbeat! I'm on cloud 9 right now! They're switching me to a high risk doctor tho cuz my blood pressure is high, Iron is low and my scar tissue still is sore (had open RNY) plus they don't know jack about RNY so they're treating me like I'm made outta glass lol

You really should just hold out :-) I have baby fever... Even was ready to not only ignore my bariatric doctor but got nervous when my gyno doctor who is really down to earth urged me to PLEASE wait. She's been seeing a lot of patients who didn't wait and are having lots of complications. So of course I googled it. And it made me nervous.... On a positive note they say that carrying a baby after that 18-24 months can actually be healthier then when your obese :-)

So I cut do the birth control pills bc not effective after the surgery.... then the ring and made me very sensitive down there....so I removed it.... I've been married for 8 yrs and had a miscarriage 4 1/2 yrs ago and we have been trying the whole marriage. It was becoming unbearable. But I decided since this birth control stuff didn't work if it's meant to be it's meant to be. I mean I've gone this long and didn't get prego....now I've found out I'm 6 weeks so excited bc it's time. I've been smaller most of my life so it's not the weight loss it's just time. Thank Jesus. My baby and I will be fine.

      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.
