Two Years, 70 Pounds...and Pregnant!! :)



Recommended Posts

Well, I've lost 70 pounds...about 30-35 from my goal...but that is going to have to wait. Just found out that we are expecting our first baby!! I'm only a little over 6 weeks along, but feeling awesome so far. Another cool thing...my GP says I'm not high risk! I have perfect blood pressure and great pulse...something I never would have had without the surgery.

Anyway, a lot can still happen (go wrong) so I'm not telling EVERYONE yet, but yeah. I consider that a success.. Would have been a lot harder trying to conceive before I lost the weight. This was only our second try. :)

For now, just praying for a healthy baby...first ultrasound in two 1/2 weeks...I can hardly wait! I am totally a bag of nerves...I just need to see that things are progressing as they should.. Then I can breathe a bit!!

Hope everyone on here is doing well. Blessings, all!

Congrats. I can relate. It took us two years to conceive. I did WW and lost 50lbs, got pregnant after I lost that. Of course gained it all back plus more. At my daughters first bday party, I was pregnant and didn't know it. Found out two weeks afterwards. Now we have two miracles and I lost over 20lbs during my second pregnancy.

I'm saying all this to say a few things; you're not alone with the bag of nerves (I was there), MIRACLES do happen, once you have this healthy baby (because I'm praying for you) be careful because you can get pregnant very easily and most of CONGRATS on your expected arrival :)

Keep us updated. Wishing you the very best in everything.

Congratulations!!! That is a wonderful blessing! It also gives me hope as I have been unable to conceive and the only thing they could come up with is the weight.

Here is to blessings for a beautiful and healthy baby!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
