16 mths out of sleeve gastrectomy , first ever pregnancy



Recommended Posts

I’m 16 mths and 102 pds down in weight from my sleeve it was the best choice I’ve ever made . Although my eating habits are not the healthiest and I have extreme fears of the scale rising . I believe I am pregnant for the first time and I’m 35 . I’m very afraid of the gain and the whole experience . Any fellow female sleevers to shed light ???

My one expectant sleeve friend, well technically she is a friend's daughter, my peers no longer are actively reproducing, her doctor told her good clean healthy foods, exercise, she was on bariatric Vitamins for her, prenatal for the baby, told Emily Your body will straighten everything out, she gained 17 and a half pounds, Michael Anthony Joseph was a respectable 7 pounds 11 oz, they went home at 2 days postpartum, mainly because her hubby had Sunday off. Emily and Baby Boy are just healthy as can be and she is nursing him, he's gaining like a little Teddy Bear, so doggone cute!

17 months, she started before sleeve at I think 41BMI. She c was supposed to wait the extra month but she and Scottie celebrated and she got the "Gold ring " off the marital merry-go-around. She wasn't sure at first because she hadn't been fertile in the past, she was 26 so youth was on her side. Her mom teased her --why 3 names for her son? She said " He's a miracle,I'll use all my favorite names at once" her success, although she is so much younger, kind of inspired me to "keep on Keeping on" when I hit some roadblocks along the way to my own. And I swear in my county there are No More Rny, so I befriended mostly sleevers. Haven't seen updated pix for a while, maybe if they come for a visit I can see them again. But once her morning sickness abated. she walked, did prenatal yoga ate so clean, green, she was a poster model for good living, basically went towards minimal meat, I would say close to vegan, grew as much as possible. I'm sure there are girls out there maybe didn't do so good but I'm proud of Emily.

      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.
