Hi Ladies, I'm three years post-op RNY. I lost 150 lbs but have had

about 20 lbs rebound in the last year and a half. I think I'm

stablizing now. Hubby and I have been married five years this past

June, and originally had said no kids....well we've decided to go for

it! I'm 34, and *finally* feel ready to have kids. I have been on

prenatal vities for a month now, and have been off of birth control

pills for about year (although, until about a month ago we were still

using condoms). I didn't realize I was supposed to stop my normal

post op vitie regime until I posted a question on obesityhelp, and

found out that I could be o.d.ing on some vities. So now I am taking

the prenat (contains iron), B, and then later in the day, calcium

citrate. I am borderline anemic, and am hypoglycemic. I do dump on

sugar (and I tend to overeat sugar from time to time.) With all that

in mind, I have been really working on eating healthier, to prepare

the healthiest environment possible for baby Once I am actually

pregnant I will work closely with an OBGYN. I exercise regularly, by

walking about 2 miles five days a week, and hitting the " Ladies

Workout Express " (like Curves) 2-4 days a week. I do have the very

common fear of loosing all control with the food and reverting to my

very very bad pre-op ways which would result in a substantial re-

gain. That is something I will continue to work through. With that

all said...Hi!, I'm as dumb as dirt when it comes to being

pregnant...I've been doing a lot of research, but won't reach out to

my family and friends until I actually become pregnant. No one

(accept my online wls surgery friends) knows that hubby and I are

TTC...not even my mom (who will be the first to know when it actually

happens) Maybe I'm a little naive, but from what I've researched so

far, I think I want to go with a mid wife, and go natural if

possible. Well, my " quick " hello dragged on a bit. I'm looking

forward to participating in the discussions on this board! Thanks

all. -Kim open RNY 7/17/01 282/152/135

Kim,

Wow! Your " stats " could practically be me!!! I too have my RNY 3 years ago

(7.2.01), I also have been married 5 years this past June, and I am 34! Our

starting weights were nearly the same too! LOL!!! Welcome to the group and

good luck TTC!

hi kim, welcome, i'm jennifer, sahm to nearly 5year old benjamin and 15 weeks

pregnant with #2. i'm also married (6 years) to currently deployed air force

man david. we live in wichita kansas. you aren't naive by wanting a midwife

and to go as natural as possible. good luck with that. my first child (ben)

was a completely botched emergency csection, so i'm jsut hoping for a possibly

uncomplicated vaginal birth after csection (VBAC). then i will also try(if it

works this time) to go midwife and natural and possibly at home. we'll see when

february comes around. good luck ttc. and welcome to the group!!!!
