TRACY

[Guest guest]

Amy, was my last and a blessing after trying for 9 years. So it is

hard to let go of that special closeness. I miss her looking up at me and

smiling. Now she grabs both my ears and puts her face and mine and says are

you listening to me!

Oh well there are other sweet things that replace it. It is sad when they

grow up. My 13 year old still tries to cuddle with me (now that I have gained

so much weight we both don't fit on the couch). He just out grew me this

month. I cant believe he is 5 4' I have to wear my platform shoes to tell

him I am still the boss. lol

sorry rambling

, I'm nursing my son (8 mo. on 4/27) and I asked Dr. Rutledge about

continuing to nurse after the surgery. He said I would need to wean Zachary

before surgery. It's not only the meds, but with such significant weight

loss, we'll be losing a lot of chemicals and other " junk " stuff stored

within our bodies in our fat. They have proven that it is safe to go on a

restricted diet and lose up to one pound per week when breastfeeding, but

we'll be losing up to ONE POUND A DAY so it would not be good for the baby.

My son is eating some solids, but still relies on me for most of his

nutrition, so it's a very tough decision. I have postponed my surgery for 5

months already, but am getting antsy and am now just waiting on insurance.

It breaks my heart to wean him, as this is my last child, but I have to

think of my self AND my whole family. My kids really want to go to Disney

World next year, and I'll have to be in pretty good shape to keep up with my

three little boys!

I'll be happy to discuss this more with you off list, but I can totally

relate to what you're going through.

Blessings,

~Amy.

weight loss surgery

I had a couple questions I am hoping someone can shed some light on.

I heard people talking about giving blood and thought maybe this was

similiar. I was reviewing another site and saw the post of a mother

who was breastfeeding. In fact she breastfed her baby right before

going into WLS surgery, she had a lactation consultant review her

meds, etc. and came out still nursing. Now this was (and my baby is)

an older baby who is eating solids and getting nutrients from others

sources and nursing is less for food and more for other reasons. I

was wondering if anyone had any info on this. I had previously

assumed I would have to wean my baby but would prefer not to. My

second question and this is a bit personal but since I have been

breastfeeding my cycles are not regular, every month they come at a

different time (at much as 14 days difference) with no pattern. I

would prefer to have surgery when I am not having my cycle but am not

sure I can predict when that is going to be. Does it make a

differnce, even on how you feel, since having my baby they are heavy

and painful, does anyone have any experience with this and any

insight. Sorry to be so personal. Thanks.
