This is why birth control and condoms are important. Also, monitoring your cycle on a fertility or period calendar/app like fertility friend.

Its known that these methods are important. I have been using the natural method for going on three years and haven't had a problem. I'm married so the use of condoms are not a factor thanks for your input though.

Congrats! Your surgeon might be able to recommend a wls knowledgeable OB hopefully. If not, the only things we really need to do is eat more frequently, watch the sugar intake and get reg bloodwork. I got preggo 2w post op and my baby is very healthy.

You can do it. Its going to be tough, but your medical team will take good care of you. For everyone else, my surgeon always says 2 forms of BC, and actually makes us sign a contract saying we will. So condoms, and some sort of pill, shot, or whatever. I'm married too, and it sucks, but its really important for your health.

Yep... my surgeon says two forms of birth control too. My family doctor don't want me on birth control though because of my age. The plan they came up with is a he condom and a she condom. I am married also. And I have been infertile my whole life.

They will monitor your nutrition intake closely is all. Don't worry. In the worst case scenario, they could give you intravenous nutrition but that's not usually needed. Congrats on your little bean.

      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.
