Sadly I lost my baby at the end of November. Trying again but it has been rough. Luckily my doctor does not think my surgery contributed in any way to the miscarriage. Thank you to everyone who gave me support and advice. I appreciate it so much.

C-Sections have been a thing in my family so I am pretty resigned to the fact that I will likely need one. I am glad to hear that you made it through. I appreciate the info!

I just spoke with my OBGYN. My surgeon is in a different city now. I should probably talk with a bariatric surgeon in town though...

I just (like JUST) found out that I am pregnant! I have not told anyone but my husband so far. I won't tell family until the end of the 1st trimester. It's my first pregnancy and I am terrified that something will go wrong. One thing I've been reading is that there is an increased chance of having to have a C-section if you've had WLS. Can anyone tell me if that was their experience? Anything else I should know? I am six years out since the surgery so I am pretty comfortable with getting enough to eat. I am just trying to make really good decisions as far as WHAT to eat. I haven't had morning sickness *yet* not sure how bad that will be... Anyone who could share their pregnancy stories with me, I would greatly appreciate it.

When my husband and I first started trying to conceive, I spoke to my OBGYN and he told me that there is not much to be concerned about after WLS. Obviously getting really good nutrition and taking extra prenatal vitamins are important and I would definitely discuss those topics. He told me the main thing he wants to avoid is for me to freak out because I will gain a little weight.

Six years out, and my stomach still hates any kind of sugary drink. Sadly Pumpkin Spice Lattes qualify. Wondering where a sugar free version of this fall treat might be found...?

So my Mom is having roux en y gastric bypass Monday July 20. I am so excited for her! But I am also super nervous. How can I be worried when my own surgery was so successful? Praying that the next few weeks go quickly and everything turns out well.

I need about 10 more hours of sleep. Unfortunately my boss frowns on napping under the desk...

You know, I think it's taught me a lot about spices and flavor combinations that make my food taste incredible without making them bad choices. Also, just because we had WLS doesn't mean we can't enjoy cooking and food, we just have to adjust for our new lifestyles. -
Anybody got some good bypass recipes for this newbie?

Egg Face (online blogger) has the very best recipes. Her crockpot green chili carnitas is an all time favorite recipe that I make for big family get togethers. -
Had a hungry day yesterday and snacked more than I should have. Today is all about getting back on track. No grazing!

Pay day as an adult is depressing- 1 minute of Yay! then the brick wall of realizing all that beautiful money has to pay bills and buy groceries. Boo.
