I got the thumbs up to TTC

In Septemeber....lol....I had my 3 month post op appt with my surgeon today and I asked about TTC...he said right now it's still too early, but gave me a date of Sept as long as my weight loss stays consistant like it is now...I'm a super slow looser.....from week 3-7 I lost a total of 2lbs and from week 7 on.....I'm losing a whopping....wait for it.......1/2 lb a week....IF THAT!!  He said Ketosis doesn't look like a problem I will have....lol....

He said because my weight is coming off slow.....and if it continues to come off slow....then in September.....I should be good to go - we are going to discuss AGAIN in Sept when I come back for my next appointment....before we officially try anything.

I was 180 eight years ago when I had Lilly, 190 when I had William and 220 when I had Ethan......


I've never had fertility issues....so the WLS was NOT to be able to have kids....but for me to be healthier....and so far....I'm acheiving that......

So....at least 6 months to live vicariously through everyone else here.....going to try the shettles method in hopes for a girl....but in the end...a healthy baby is all I want!!

That's great.  A healthy you to have a healthy baby. 

Hi,
Congrats on Sept TTC. I was really bent on trying for a girl. There are also other things you can do to help the odds. Eating aciding food to raise your PH. I took cranberry supplements. I will find out in 2 weeks if it all worked :).
In the meantime, maybe start taking extra folic acid?
Good luck!
