Thatgirl80 21 Posted October 9, 2018 So as the title states I became pregnant directly after my sleeve operation due to birth control failure. I just delived an healthy baby girl ( thank goodness)9 mos and 1 week post VSG. I took a break from all boards during my pregnancy as I needed to focus on having a healthy pregnancy vs weightloss.I have lost 75lbs thus far and have about 30lbs to goal. I am so ready to focus on my goal and get back on track. Although I lost weight all thru my pregnancy I was encouraged to have a higher carb intake and now find myself craving them everyday. I am thinking a few days of shakes may help me detox these carbs and get focus on the high protien low carb diet my body needs to make it to goal! Looking forward to getting to know some other folks on this journey.Sent from my LGUS992 using BariatricPal mobile app 4 6 GreenTealael, Healthy_life, Orchids&Dragons and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thatgirl80 21 Posted October 9, 2018 Thank you. Not breastfeeding unfortunately, my supply did not come on adequately prob due to lower caloric intake and my body being so stressed.Sent from my LGUS992 using BariatricPal mobile app 1 FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my LGUS992 using BariatricPal mobile app I'd forget the shakes and just concentrate on ditching any snacky treats--carby, processed junk. And I'd eat Protein first very dense protein, plus your fill of low glycemic veggies, healthy fats, and maybe a few berries now and then to break monotony if it rises up. ((hugs)) You did splendidly. Congrats on losing while brewing a healthy kid!!! 2 MargoCL and paddyski reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FluffyChix 17,418 Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) Oh and 75% Cacao chocolate Bars from Lindt. They are VERY low sugar and lowish carb in moderation and have a lot of magnesium. Combine with 10g of almonds and maybe a couple of frozen blueberries??? DAYUM hold me. I need a moment! Just 1 square satisfies any desire for rich sugary dessert! Especially with its little friends: almonds and frozen blueberries.
