RE: [ossggreatlakes] OH AM I DEPRESSED

[Guest guest]

Amy,

You may not like what I have to say but you have to do this -- YOU MUST

CHANGE YOUR MINDSET. The most important thing has to be the baby you are

carrying. You got pregnant a bit too early after this surgery and now you

have to do everything you can to insure that this baby is healthy. That

means changing your mindset from wanting to lose weight to wanting to have a

healthy child -- which i am sure you want. Yes you had the surgery to lose

weight however you need to eat -- and a whgole package of cream of wheat is

NOT a lot. Some doctors still want you to get at least 1500 calories a day

if you are pregnant and have had this surgery. That is what my surgeon

wanted me to do. You need though to realize that your weight loss may have

stalled but that is because your baby is gaining weight. Your baby is taking

from you and adding to her/his mass. That NEEDS to happen. You want to lose

weight? Well you are going to have to put that on hold until after you give

birth. yes some people lose weight while pregnant but you CAN NOT TRY TO!

Dieting is a NO NO! So concentrate on the fact that your body is doing what

it has to do to form a child. A living being is depending on you for

everything. After you deliver and if/when you are not breastfeeding, then

you can begin concentrating on your weight loss again. For now, just eat

healthy. Your body is not going to allow your weight to free fall because

you are carrying a life.
