How long did it take you to conceive?



Recommended Posts

I got banded 08/27/08, lost about 40 lbs, and decided to come off BC for the first time in almost 8 years in december last year. We didn't really try to hard the first two months, we had busy schedules and were on family trips so it wasn't convient. My periods also haven't even been regular, so we got the tests you pee on in febuary, did that for a month to atleast guesstimate when I ovulate, then went for it in March. We got pregnant, the day before St. Patricks day, the day itself, or the day after. *lol* Got a few positives the first week of April, and now at 11.5 weeks, EDD of 12/10/10.

I went off of BC and never had another period. It happened the first month which was sooo much quicker that I expected. My Gynecologist said it would most likely happen within six months and I am not a spring chicken anymore so it was a big surprise when it happened immediately.

      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.
