I had surgery 8/27 found out I was pregnant on Monday. I'm 40 had my first baby at 39 last year Aug 29. He just started walking. Hoping for a girl and healthy pregnancy. Wow, I wish you well!! I was scared to get pregnant within the first year but I did well, I did continue to lose weight for the first 4 months but it all changed around real soon. Baby grew just fine and was born a healthy 6 lbs and 13 oz. now at 8 weeks, he's 11 lbs so im happy he's not effected by any of this. Hope you get your girl...we've just decided to go for a girl in a few more months. VSG made my dreams come true....I want babies, my husband is one happy dude even though mine came right we were giving up and planning to travel instead. I gladly put my passport on the back burner for a later time...GOOD LUCK and best wishes!!

My son is currently 8 weeks. I gained 68 lbs in total. Within 3 days of leaving the hospital, I had lost 32 lbs already. Now 8 weeks later, I've lost 48 lbs total without even working out and have 20 more to work on. I have noticed my restriction is not as good as previously but I feel it's returning. Before surgery, I could eat 4-5 slices of pizza, I'm from NY and Pizza was my life. After surgery I could only eat half a slice and that was with no craving at all, during late pregnancy, I could eat a slice and a half and now 8 weeks later, I could eat 1 whole slice but I've lost the taste for it again. Now the thought of certain foods make me sick in my mind again...perfect...lol!! I'm back to no pizza at all...I feel absolutely great and am fitting into my new life just fine after 1 year and 1 baby boy. Good luck all...

Extremely happy to share that I did get pregnant 7 months post op after trying for 17 years. This won't be our first but our daughter is 17. My Dr always said if I lost weight, my hormones will reset and it will work for me but I never believed her. Just thought it was over for me. 7 months later I was preggo and almost hit the floor literally. My husband and I didn't believe and test, not even the blood work, only the sonogram. I gained 68 lbs and now that my son is 8 weeks, I've already lost 48 and 32 of that was within 3 days of labor and all of it was before I even began working out. Now I'm about to start working on the last 20 and I'm feeling AMAZZZZING!! Still trying to lose the cravings I picked up during pregnancy but it's a process like all things....Good luck to you all trying...it will definitely happen now!

I am actually. My doctor would like for me to eat 5-6 times a day or more since I eat so little. In the past few weeks my appetite has picked up tremendously. I could only eat a half a slice of pizza before pregnancy, then around 3 months, I could eat a whole slice. This is all so great to me since before the surgery, I would eat no less than 4 slices on my own. My life and eating habits have changed immensely and the sound of eating like that completely disgusts me. Now at 7 months, I can eat a slice and a half. I see a high risk specialist due to my eating and was put on not only the daily prenatal Multivitamin but now Iron and Vitamin D. My main issue with my caloric intake is the severe toothache that causes me not to eat. I only have preventative dental so the charge of $366 to remove the 2 teeth causing the problem is just too much for me right now with my oldest child just graduating and attending senior prom and preparing for the new baby and moving into a bigger place on July 1. I just take the antibiotics and tylenol and grin and bare the pain but it causes me not to eat a lot. I do notice I'm not really hungry most times but I try to eat on schedule for the baby's sake.

Just an update. I no longer am required to get a c-section. My pregnancy is going well. I am currently 7 months and baby is doing great and growing as expected. My weight loss goal was to reach 180 from 290. I was 184 when I found out I was preggo and 7 months later I am about 206. About a 22lb gain!! It's not so bad because you can literally tell that it's all baby. My face is still slim and I can still fit my size 10 jeans, from a size 20. Plus, I gained about 45lbs with my first pregnancy 17 years ago. So I see that my new eating habits are helping me tremendously to stay healthy thru the struggle and cravings. I seem to make a lot of my friends jealous because while I'm pregnant, I am able to shop their closets for clothes to wear at this size....That put 2 of them on a strict diet and 3 of them in the gym weekly....it's kinda funny to me, they all seemed so small to me and now, they're trying to get to my size....hmph, go figure!

Thank goodness I have a husband already because unfortunately a bad thing I've noticed since the weight loss is I get a lot of compliments on how I look from women which is great, yall ladies know it's hard to make another woman say "good job, you look great" but my issue is, MEN don't hit on me as much as they use to. I'm feeling a complex coming on... As we all know appearance is the first impression and I always had a great great smile, nice round butt and 44 DDD breast and my build was thick but you can tell I was still athletic, curvy and I danced alot and now, I just feel so frail, no butt, no boobs and no stares anymore. Nothing really stands out, I feel like I blend into crowds and I'm use to being the standout....Hubby loves it but I feel like I've lost a major part of me...I was the Queen of Kings for a reason!! Men drooled over my body, then my personality. It's weird to have to work harder to accentuate my curves and let my personality shine thru in my clothing style...this is becoming a more fun and exciting journey, luckily I like a challenge!

P.s. I refuse to change my license or passport pics until it's a must...I love the double takes!!

When you can finally get pregnant after trying for 17 years and all it took was a major weight loss. My doc always said it was possible but it seems losing 20-30 lbs never did it but losing 100 lbs was the remedy!! Going on 11 weeks and super excited!!! What a great reason to gain weight...I just have to tell myself, I am not getting fat, I'm just pregnant!! I did what it takes to get down 100 lbs and I wasn't even stopping so I know after the baby, Imma be on the road again....EASY as 123!!! GOOOOOOO VSG!!! LOL

I was 8 months post op when I found out and I was 5 weeks already.
