Almost 3 Months Post-op and Surprise...



Recommended Posts

I'm a fertility patient trying to get pregnant again and I'm only 3 months after surgery. As long as you're eating balanced meals, exercising safely and staying in contact with your Doctor the sleeve shouldn't pose too many issues because the sleeve does not cause malabsorption. Work with a nutritionist for a while if you need to.

We had a d&c 1.5 weeks after this post. We had 2 ultrasounds and were diagnosed with a blighted ovum or false pregnancy. The heartbreak was tremendous and it's thrown my body out of whack. I've struggled with getting back on track with my eating and weight loss too. Praying we get to try again for a healthy pregnancy soon!!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I have lost 2 babies since being sleeved in July '14. One early mc in January '15 and just recently had a stillborn son in September, I was 31 weeks. Bryson was perfect in every way, but got tangled in his cord and died from it getting wrapped very tightly around his abdomen. We have now had 4 losses and have no living children. Some days it's so hard to go on. I got this surgery to help with getting pregnant, which it did, but I still struggle to maintain any pregnancy(and dh and I have tested normal for evening except I have low progesterone which is managed with a prescription). My heart goes out to you, cuz is a hard struggle losing a pregnancy.

I haven't had the heart, until now, to share that I miscarried @ 11weeks on November 5th. We were so devastated! I feel all your pain mommas! I'm young and we will try again but I lost my sweet baby and will never know him/her.

      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.
