My go to meal at McDonald's: Grilled Chicken Sandwich Plain substitute with a hamburger bun. The meat doesn't even fit the small hamburger bun so why they put it on a huge roll is beyond me. I am sure you could keep the lettuce and tomato...I just like plain. It is about 230 calories.

a couple of pieces of chocolate is not going to kill you. I hope at some point we can live free from the chains of food...even being thin we still are so worried. Take a week and just don't worry.

I didn't gain 10!!! I am so happy about that! I wanted to weight myself today because I didn't feel terribly fat this morning I weighed 171.5. I am almost 13 weeks and up 8 pounds. I feel SO MUCH better and if I keep on this course things look good. Even if I gain 1 pound every week from here on out that is 27 + 8...34 pounds! THAT WOULD BE A DREAM! That is if I make it to 40 weeks! I don't even work out...which maybe I really should start as I am starting to get slightly winded! Without the sleeve I would have probably gained 100 pounds during pregnancy. I love my sleeve! I know baby is fine because I eat what a normal person eats. I am feeling pretty good today!

The band sucks...go with the sleeve

I am 12 weeks

I can answer that.. I was 291, lost 130 pounds in 1.5 years, got to about 161...Stayed there for 3 months, got pregnant and now I am 170. All the scales are different, but I am gaining more than they say you should in the first trimester. Most of it was, I believe was me trying to avoid being sick, I am not sick anymore and eating normally. Still more than before, I am not pigging out.

Good DEE! I stopped weighing myself. I am gaining that is all I know. The morning sickness was so terrible that I just ate to keep from throwing up. So now that I haven't been sick this week I feel like I am eating a little more than before, but only maybe 600 calories. Two more snacks. So I just don't feel like having the stress of a weigh in. I am up I think around 10. That is alot for 12 weeks, but I was also eating nothing and also my bathroom activity has slowed down. I promise once I squeeze this baby out of me...Weighing myself and getting back to the 160's better happen!!!

Low birth weight? With the way I am eating...I seriously doubt that the baby could have a low birth weight, but I also got pregnant 1.5 years after having the surgery. 12 weeks today!

The only difference with my bariatric vitamins v. The prenatal vitamins was the omega 3s, the iron and folic acid (which seems to be the most important) so I still take my bariatric vitamins because they have more, but I add more iron and folic acid.

Krista...how are you doing? I am 9 weeks and eating like everything in sight!!!! Up 5 pounds. I feel like I am going to be in your boat come August. I just hope the restriction goes back or at least the hunger goes away!!!! I am even drinking ginger ale because it makes me feel good. How can 5 pounds feel like 20!!!!

How much have you gained. I am nine weeks and already up 5 pounds!

Clk....at 9 weeks how much did you gain? Do you remember? I am up 5 pounds already and can eat like my old self...well not that much, but one hour later I am hungry again...then if I say no I have had enough the sickness starts coming. So scared!!!

168.5. 9 weeks pregnant and 5 pounds up I can eat like a horse! This is so scary.

My hair still hasn't grown back. I am thinking about cutting it short. It has been one year and 7 months. I lost about 60%. My pony tail doesn't exist. I am still hopeful and now that I am pregnant and eating all the time maybe it will come back. My BF said don't cut it, but I just feel it might be time.

I am eating everything all the time oh well. I really can't go crazy over it.

Do you think they sneak out a kidney at the same time? Lol!

I say go for it. I don't know why people think that if you are younger you will somehow lose the weight. I lost it once and kept it off, but the amount of running to maintain gave me a herniated disc at 26. I wasn't even as thin as I am now. I would talk with a doctor, but I wouldn't rule it out.

If you are lucky you don't get it all in. Don't force it. I still to this day...18 months out maybe can drink 24 oz of fluid during the day. I am pregnant now so it has gone up, but do worry about anything...just lose!

I think the doctors who tell you you can eat regularly aren't doing right by their patients even if they can eat. At 3 weeks out you should still be on liquids or moving on to puréed food. You should not be eating a cookie. My doctor scared me so bad I didn't eat real food for six weeks. The fear alone helped me get over my love of food. So at 3 weeks you are not healed! That cookie could get in your staple line and then cause a leak.

I still have no regrowth and I am 18 months out. I might cut it because it just looks silly long since you can see right through it.

I am 167. So now up 3.5. I am not even close to the end of my first trimester. I am officially worried! I really have to slow down! I need some seriously healthy low cal snacks!!!

The day I was finally like ok, I am going to get the lower body lift and thigh lift I found out I was pregnant! Go figure! So I think timing will be right anyway. I will have the baby in August and have the surgery next January and fat grafting to the buttox I think I will go see dr. Agha in California, but still not 100% sure.

Congrats on taking this step! Go you!

I am up 2 pounds to 165.5. I am pregnant, but I am still going to come on here. I don't want to lose control!

This sounds good!
