Oh boy!!! What a shock!!! My period was three days late and my hubby insisted I take a test, before giving me my half a glass of wine ( we are on vacation in Spain) I peed on the stick last night and within 1,5 mins it came back positive!! My head keeps asking how it happened. I had an IUCD placed shortly after my daughter (she is now 2) was born and I've been avoiding doing the deed when I'm ovulating, but I suppose somehow, something slipped through! I am thankful for this precious gift and also very scared because this is totally unplanned!!!

Wowgurl! So far so good, almost 30 weeks pregnant and no weight gained, but the baby is growing,which is all I want! Congratulations on your pregnancy! Wishing you a happy and healthy 6 months!!!

I think maybe it's time for an update! The pregnancy is doing great. I am currently almost 24 weeks pregnant and the baby is growing on schedule! I have no complications because of the sleeve, only have to take some extra Vitamins because I can't eat as much. Even with 100lb lost I am still obese, so my surgeon, NUt and OB are all happy that's weight has stabilized, meaning no loss, but no gain either! In fact this pregnancy is a lot easier than my pre sleeve pregnancy! Even though this baby was only planned to happy a year after my sleeve surgery, we are very happy and feel very blessed that we have this incredible gift on the way! And for anyone wondering, we are having another gorgeous little girl!!!

Oooh, how I've missed you guys!! I have been visiting my mom in South Africa for a month!! Anyways, not a big loss, I think I weighed 196 at my last check in, and today, 193. But I really don't mind the slow loss, as I am 4 months pregnant. The biggest victory is though, that I have lost 100lbs since I started this journey!!!

Firstly, congratulations!!!!! So far, so good!! My doctor isn't worried at all, she did a whole batallion of blood and urine tests to check that my nutrient and Vitamin levels were ok, and then prescribed me a whole list of prenatal Vitamins to make sure my levels stay right. My doctor has experience with pregnancy post sleeve as she and my surgeon are at the same hospital, so I am really lucky! The only thing she said was that post sleeve babies tend to be smaller. On a personal side, I am almost 11 weeks pregnant and yet to have morning sickness ( don't know if it's got anything to do with the sleeve, but I am not complaining) Again, congratulations, relax and enjoy the pregnancy and drink lots and lots of water!!!

Gorgeous!!! I LOVE the dress!!

I had the Paraguard IUD too, got it about a year before my surgery. And was happy with the effect it had, except about 10 weeks ago, I got pregnant( not that I am complaining, always wanted a second child). My IUD had moved and wasn't effective anymore. According to my OB it moved because of all the weight I have lost.

I had an IUD, got it after my 2 year old was born. Had my sleeve in Feb 2012 and the IUD moved and I got pregnant (currently 10 weeks). My OB said it moved, because I lost so much weight (42kg). Luckily, the doc could remove it without hurting the baby and everything is going great!

Oh, it's me again, this is a first! Anyways, last week 207, this week 203 that's an awesome 4 pounds, woohoo!!!! Hopefully, if next week goes as well as this week, I will be in Onederland!!!!

Last week 210, this week 207!!! That's 3 down!! Woohoo!!!

I jiggle too!!! Weirdest feeling is jumping up and down in the pool doing water aerobics!!

Woohoo! Congratulations!!

I am so sorry for your loss. You and your husband will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I am having a mini celebration today!!! Tomorrow will be my 5 month surgiversary and as of today I have lost a nice round total of 80lbs!!!! Started at 293 and today I am 213!!!

Last week 217, today 216. Happy with a loss! I won't be checking in for the next 3 weeks as we are going on our summer vacation ( looking forward to wearing a swimsuit this year!!) See you in August!!!

I have been getting monthly B12 shots, since 1 month post op ( I am now 4 months), and I started losing my hair at about 3 months post op. So, for me, it's not the B12. I am still trying to figure out, why it is happening, as I am on track with Protein and Vitamins. But I think ( fingers crossed) it is slowing down.

Shortly after my surgery, my NUt included fresh apple juice in my diet, and I am convinced that kept me regular, because when I didn't drink my juice, I had severe problems with constipation. Now that I am allowed, I have half an apple,peeled, or some watermelon everyday( yes, I know it's high in carbs) and that helps.
