Recommended Posts

My Surgeon Has Told Me That I Should Wait At Least 18 Months To Start Trying Again. I Am Soon To Be Banded On June 24 Th And My 18 Month Mark Would Be Jan 2010. I Have A Realy Bad Case Of Baby Fever. I Am Scared If I Am Not Able To Make My Hubby A Daddy That He May Leave Me Down The Road. He Has Been So Supportive Of Me In All My Struggles With Pcos And Now The Lap Band, But He Really Wants To Be A Daddy. I Just Dont Know If I Can Personaly Wait 18 Months. If I Reach My Goal Weight By 12 Months I Hope We Will Be Able T To Start Trying Again For A Baby. Im Just Curious If I Could Start Sooner..any Advice Will Help Me Thanks

My surg says 12 months! But if he loves you he will wait! He's waited this long he should be ecstatic that you are getting yourself to and health 2gether before u get preggo... think about do you wanna play with kids at the park or do you want to be the fat mommy on the bench watching... yeah I not a good picture! I am happy to wait my 12 months it's like a challenge LOL to make to goal so that I can have a nice cute sexy pregnancy. My hubby is a soldier so the overseas tour may delay our "trying" period but as soon as he gets home it's on LOL as it is with most couples when the spouse returns from war it's baby making time LOL! So my doc says a yr ... most docs say a yr ... we had a thread like this awhile back though search through the PCOS board and i'm sure you will find it. Love and Blessings APPLES!

My surgeon said 1 year also. You are young and still have plenty of time.

      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.
