New member- 29 weeks pregnant

[Guest guest]

Hi all, I'm new. My name is Kristeen and I am 29 weeks pregnant. I

had an open RNY (with a 1m/3ft bypass) in April 2002. I was 379#

pre-op and I have lost about 115#. I know I am still heavy, but I

am fine with that. My primary reason for having WLS was to be in

better health so that I could have kids (something I've wanted since

I was a teenager!).

Basically I am here for a little reassurance. I lost about 5# in my

first trimester and since then I've gained 1.5#. I'm not really

concerned, but some other people are. My midwife seems fine with it

too, but I thought I'd ask you guys! My mother of course says she

hopes I don't gain anything... My eating is fine and I can actually

eat quite a lot, so I am not concerned about nutrition. Also, I've

taken a multi-vitamin since surgery and now I'm on pre-natals as

well.

Sorry if this sounds disjointed, but I'm trying to fire it off

quickly from work!
