Hi All

So.... I might be pregnant. And am only 5 months post op. I am on birth control and trying my best to keep things slow in the bedroom but it still has happened.

My major question is if anyone else had fallen pregnant this soon after surgery and been okay?

It does not matter if anyone has or has not been okay, as it really is individual , the rules to wait till 12 months + post are there for a reason due to the increased risk of miscarriages and premature births.That is a fact, Some people have had healthy babies, some have ended up with babies on the special care unit, and some babies did not make it at all. anecdotal evidence is not going to help you.

Hopefully someone who has had a healthy pregnancy under 12months will be able to help you :)

Congratulations , contact your surgeon/DR asap so they can monitor you through this process, give you an eating plan etc and for anyone else reading they say losing weight increases your fertility so it is important to have a suitable plan in place things do just happen like you said OP , some people are just super fertile which is understandable after this boost of weightloss! Get yourself to the DR as soon as you can :) All the best on this possible new journey.

Thank you I appreciate that. I am seeing my doctor tomorrow so we will get things sorted I'm sure. This was not my plan or intention but if this is what is meant to be then so be it. I know I did put barriers in place to prevent it and it still happened so I don't know what else to think or do besides wowza

;) Some things are really meant to be and no matter what you put in place, if it will happen it will. I believe that. Keep us posted!!! You have lost alot of weight. I got pregnant after 2 weeks doing a liquid diet after I decided to stop trying HAHAH ( this was before wls days, my first, I was not expecting it ) the rapid weight loss does something :P

      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.
