Well we are 4 days from 17 weeks! We are doing GREAT!!! doctors seem to be happy with everything in 5 days I will be 20 weeks post op and a total of 72 lb gone! ... This has not been easy. I throw up almost every day because on top of pregnancy nausea I am still learning the pouch. I have continued to lose but have managed to slow down. This month I lost 6 lb and there is no way to stop that from happening this is why we are told to wait... I am full of info on this so if you gals have any questions feel free to ask... I am an open book ;-)

So how many weeks post op where you then when you found out?

So I had surgery August 2nd and went to Georgia for a family thing on the 7th of September... I remember that whole trip I was SUPER tired and thought that was strange because I had just taken a B 12 shot. So around the 11th of Sept I tested and it was positive SUPER fast... so I was about 6 weeks post op and only 3 weeks pregnant...

Wait as long as you possibly can... This is HARD!!! This is our third child and both of my pregnancies before we're practically identical... I am having a really hard time now because it is super hard to eat and find things that I can tolerate.

      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.
