My daughter in law's 1st cousin got pregnant a year after having the sleeve. She did need to she a high risk obgyn, but she did wonderful and had a beautiful baby boy. She continued losing weight while she was pregnant, but she was getting in all her nutrients, so the doctor wasn't concerned. Contratulations, I hope you do…

They actually offer a support group at the hospital where I'm having surgery. I'm required to go five times after surgery, but haven't been because of the logistics. I drive 30 miles to work every day and the meeting is 30 miles away from my home in the opposite direction. Not sure I can get there at 6:00, but definitely…

Catherine's, which is owned by Lane Bryant. Their clothes are geared more to an older woman than Lane Bryant. They carry petites. I often shopped there for my mom, who was short.

I'm having nausea as well. My daughter-in-law(she is an RN) recommended I take Dramamine which does work, but it makes you sleepy. I was really having a time of it about an hour ago and I went to the break room at work and drank 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk. That has seemed to help as well. Good Luck!!!

I'm with you Autumn 1031. I have surgery next week 10-28 and I am really curious as to what everyone tolerated and was able to eat as well. My doctor allows pureed foods when you come home from the hospital for the 1st four weeks. I would really like some suggestions. Thanks for opening up the discussion! By the way, I'm…

Way to Go! You look fantastic. You can really tell you've lost a lot of weight!

Congratulations! You have done a wonderful job!

Thanks crepes_

Thanks joysie1970! I believe that as well.....

Great photos everyone! You all look amazing!

Thanks joysie1970! I love your user name. My mom's name was Joyce. I lost her 18 months ago. She would be enjoying this journey with me so much!!!!

Mjks_mom, I'm not tolerating well! I can't stay out of the bathroom. My surgeon had me switch to almond milk, but it's not helping. I'm going to call them tommorrow. I think I'm going to need to take medication for it. It's literally that bad! I have IBD anyway, so I'm thinking it's aggravating the symptoms.

Me too mjks_mom. I feel like I could sleep a week! .

Well I had my 1st breakdown and in front of my grandkids! They were especially ugly last night and was tearing my house apart. I started crying and couldn't quit. They all looked at me like I had lost my mind. But, they did started picking up their mess and getting ready for bed. I got hugs and apologies from all, but I…

Get through this liquid diet as I prepare for surgery on 10-28. I set a goal of 50 lbs. by surgery date, but Im not sure I'll make it. 11.4 lbs to go.

Mjks_mom, I made a big mistake of getting all 4 of my grandkids - ages 9, 8, 7, 6; 3 boys and the oldest being a girl, for the weekend. I wanted to spend time with them before surgery, but I'm having to cook and keep snacks. So I'm miserable. I really made it hard on myself. I'm sending all the extra food home with them in…

Cabennett99 you are amazing. You have really devoted yourself to a new way of life. What an inspiration! All of you on this thread have done a wonderful job as well. So proud for all of you!

Awesome! You look great!

I hear you karbuckle. I'm just on day two and I'm already sick of it. I've focusing on the results. That is the only way I know to get through it.

Thanks everyone!

martaberrich, I can sure understand why! I got the chocolate and vanilla and it's only the 1st day and I'm already sick of them!!

Amazing results!

Everyone in my group at the hospital said this was the toughest time. You guys are right though. I just have to make up my mind and get through it lol!! I've got the grandkids this weekend, so hopefully I'll be too busy with them and not ponder on it. Of course, they are all little eating machines, but I think it will be a…

Great news. It goes by quickly. Mine is 10-28. Good luck on your journey.

garber6th, thanks for the input. They are suspecting the non alcoholic cirrhosis because of the high liver enzyme levels for me as well. I've had trouble in the past with this, but have never been actually diagnosed. It's good to know there is someone I can go to if I have questions after the results. Thanks to you as well…

You look amazing! Congratulations!

You look amazing!

Kellyarwitcher what type of surgery did you have that you went back the next day? I have to stay overnight in the hospital and then can't drive for three days. I'm taking the full 4 weeks off. I had a thyroidectomy last year (cancer) and went back way too soon. I'm not doing that this time. I've been with my company for 32…

Wow! All of you look great!

Congratulations!
