Recommended Posts

Congrats!!! I am so happy for you. everything works on Gods clock!!!

I haven't had my surgery yet but After I had my daughter (7 years ago) they told me I would never have more children. It would be 1 in a million that I would be able to conceive. I went crazy trying everything, ( looking back I feel so bad for my husband having to deal with me ) I finally gave up and left it in Gods hands and 3.5 years later I had my son and 2 years after that I had my third child.

I had a PCOS surprise baby 14 years ago after going super low carb and losing 60 pounds. I was convinced I had a hangover that lasted 3 weeks from drinking 2 glasses of wine! :)

Congratulations!

Ladies if you have POSTS the sleeve is a miracle "cure". I am proof. I was diagnosed in my late teens and struggled infertility since my husband and I started trying for a child in 2006. It took 3 years of fertility drugs and procedures to finally end up with our son. He was a miracle. We soon came to the realization that he would be an only child and we were "OK" with that. Fast forward to Nov 2012. I got sleeved at a whopping 300 lbs. I lost quickly and look and behold the 1st month after surgery i started my cycle! Most women dread this, but not me. I was thrilled that I might be normal and actually feel like a women. As the months passed and my monthly visitor became a perfectly timed occurrence, we started discussing the possibility of trying for another. Went to the OBAMA and has ultrasound to see if I has cyst and there were NONE! Only scars from old ones. We discussed fertility drugs with her and she suggested we try unassisted for 6 MO the before we start them. Uuuggghh, I just knew that I was wasting 6 months because there was no way it was going to be that easy. Hahaha jokes on me. First month of trying, boom I got a positive on a home pregnancy test. What!?!? Blood test confirmed the positive. This was real. my OB immediately scheduled me for ultrasound (since she was just as amazed as I was and due to advanced maternal age 35 and pcos there were other factors that put me in a high risk category). My husband and I go and ultrasound shows a healthy 7 week pregnancy to TWINS!!!!!! OMG. So yes I have 11 month old twins, have hit my goal weight and am maintaining perfectly. Praying for all of you to have similar success. This surgery has changed my life. Not just weight and physical health but mental health (although with a 5 year old and a set of 11 month old twins my mental health status is questionable! :) )

I tell my surgeon every time I see him "Thank you for giving me my life back". Miracles do happen and prayers are answered. If any of you have any questions about pregnancy and the sleeve please do not hesitate to ask.

      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.
