Definately not recommended..

Funny... I was a 3x at conception and now just wearing and XL and I am 37

weeks preggers...

My scale say 202 lbs... I was about 225lbs at conception...

I haven't lost alot of 'numbers'... but my body fat and melted off ...

Mentally.. I am so itching to birth this kid so I can continue losing

weight... my ugly scar is a reminder of WHAT I did to lose the weight... and

while I

am very pregnant... I am so not liking my big preggo belly...

It's a mental thing I know....it is so hard to turn off the " fat " thoughts

after years and years of obsession.

Good news is that my iron level is around a 9... should be closer to 11...

but not bad considering...

I was severely anemic with Noah.. and that was Pre WLS.

Gotta love those childrens chewables.

new to group, update to my introduction

update!! i have a date!! OMG

hi again ladies, i am new here as I just intro'd myself this

morning. I had gastric bypass in march and now i am pregnant but

until monday didnt know how far along.. i didnt even know i was

pregnant at all!!! well now i have my update. i hope you will read

on. BTW, its so good to find a message board that is so specific to

my particular situation. I am so lucky to have been referred to you

guys!

its been a long day. i posted earlier that i found out i was

pregnant on friday and that i would post an update this afternoon.

On monday, I called to tell my ob that it wasnt an enlarged cyst,

but, rather a pregnancy indeed!! they then (to my total

devastation!!) told me they are no longer taking any OB patients....

she is converting to gynecology strictly!!

what the?? here i am pregnant, high risk, not to mention conceived

SOON after gastric bypass and i suddenly have no doctor. to her

credit they at least got me an US.

well turns out i was able to find a wonderful dr. within the 1/2

hour with the referral of a good friend and they accomodated me

immediately!!! (isnt that unheard of!!) officially, i am

17 1/2 weeks pregnant and due april 3rd 2005 acc. to the US and the

doctors internal exam.

i just cant believe it. the US i had was a simple one for dates and

size and thats how they came up with how far along i am. also

because i have pregnancy history of nueral tube defects (more

prevalent among obese women i learned) they ordered a level III US

with a perinatalogist next november 2nd, next tuesday. the US tech

didnt see any signs of nueral tube defects today but i wont rest

completely till i see my perinatologist next week.

so that is my update. im still floored by the sudden and exciting

news. i am comforted by the fact that it sounds like the baby is

healthy. already having two boys (and a third, the one that we lost

to nueral tube defects), i learned that the heart beat is 144 beats

per minute -- most likely, theoretically another boy!! guess we can

count on our name being carried on for sure! I know my husband and

I both would love to see a little girl come into the world but what

is meant to be is meant to be. speaking of my dh, he isnt taking

this all so well. He is still very much in shock and cant believe

this has happened, that we didnt know sooner.

thank you for listening ladies! I look forward to spending the next

1/2 of my pregnancy with you guys!
