Gestational diabetes test NIGHTMARE!
labubakari replied to beautifulnewme2012's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
I got also got so sick from drinking that nasty crap, they told me I would have to do the jelly beans, but I told my doc that doesn't make any sense, it'll make me sick as well. So they told me to eat what I regularly eat in the mornings, & thank God my test came back fine. -

Still losing weight while pregnant
labubakari replied to KittyFromBC's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
I'm 12 weeks as well, I've lost weight in my first trimester. I was told that's normal, with the morning sickness. I see a high risk doctor & my doctor doesn't see anything wrong. Good Luck to you!! -
Finally Pregnant & 6 mo post

After I had my sleeve, I suffered from heartburn & I would get it once in awhile, but since being pregnant, girllll it's ten times worst. Since we can't eat too much with the sleeve try to eat little by little thru out the day. Even though I can't eat how I want, I'm happy with this pregnancy because I have no back pains, & it's better than my other 2 pregnancies -

So sorry for your loss, my condolences to you & your family. Yeah please take it easy. In 2009 I found out I was excepting after 3 yrs of trying & when I was about 9 wks my dad passed away. I was so hurt & depressed, & had to basically plan the funeral by myself, that I miscarried. Good Luck to you! -
