Newbie...7mon post op and 5 weeks preggo

[Guest guest]

I just want to say hello to all and tell you a little about my

story. I had lap ryn on 10-29-03 with starting weight of 265 and now

182. I am 7 months post op and found out that I am 5 weeks pregnant.

I couldnt believe it. My period wasnt late but I had had some

headaches and during the weekend all I wanted to do was sleep so I

told my hubby to get a test while he was in town but then I

realized I had one at home and I took it. As soon as the urine went

across the stick it was a pink line bigger than crap staring at me.

This was the first test that I had ever taken so early in pregnancy

that showed such results. In the prior 3 pregnancies it took several

tests and would be late for days before it showed results. Not this

one though. anyway I am concerned about losing weight still. I know

I will gain weight but should it be this early in pregnancy. I will

gain a few pounds and then lose one. My eating habits havent changed

so I am concerned. Also I would like to know approximately how many

calories should I be eating now that I am eating for two. I eat

about six to seven hundred a day now. Do I need to take just

prenatal or prenatals along with my flinestones and my b12 shot. If

anyone has any important info for me then please feel free to email

me so that I can get all the info I can get to make sure #4 will get

all that it needs.
