I'm pregnant!!

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I am about 16mos post-op. I have gone from 332 to 143. I just found

out that I am pregnant. I'm scared and confused since I will be doing

this alone. (without the father) and that's another story. I would

really like to hear from you all about what I can expect, and how the

weight gain and loss happens.

Thanks,

Cheryl

Cheryl,

Congratulations on your new little bundle of joy. I am 14 months post

op and due in approx 7 weeks. I too am doing this with out the

fathers help. I have for the most part been a very normal pregnant

woman. You have to take your vitamins (speak with your doctors as to

which ones) eat a healthy diet and drink lots of fluids. It is

understandable that you are scared and confused, but be assured that

you will be fine. So far I have gained only 12lbs. I had lost 125-130

before I found out I was pregnant. The doctors think that I will

resume my weight loss after baby gets here and that I should have no

problem getting to goal. In fact doctor wants me to gain more weight.

She would be happy if I gained a total of 20lbs. That seems alot to

me, but at this rate (baby growing like a weed) I can see that it

might be possible.

Feel free to email me at any time if you would like to talk. I wish

you and baby the best of luck. Welcome to a great group of very

knowledgable women.

~Hugs~ Shalonda and baby boy Malachi (due to appear soon)
