Just wanted to give you ladies some hope. :)

Here's a little background:

Had surgery April 3, 2012. Tried to get pregnant since September 2009.
Started trying to get pregnant again in April 2013 (one year post op).

Got pregnant in October 2013 - NATURALLY (tried fertility treatments in the past).

Started pregnant at 163 pounds (5 feet 6 inches tall - was 271 on day of surgery).

I am now 26 weeks and 3 days pregnant (due June 22, 2014!) with a healthy baby boy!

Went from 163 to now 169 pounds! 13+ weeks to go! :)

My daughter in law is pregnant with our first grandbaby. She's about the same as u - 26 weeks. So nice to c pics, as she doesn't post many pics of her progress (she lives about 1,000 miles away). She's having a boy also (Elton james).

Congrats! U look fantastic! So many women use pregnancy as an excuse to gain a bunch of weight. Looks like u have it under control...

We live far from all of my family, so I post weekly pictures of my baby bump on Facebook ;) hehe.

I hope to end the pregnancy at at MAX of 185 (which would put me at a 22 lb TOTAL gain)... but, if I'm less, that's great, too!

Baby boy measures perfectly, so, I can't complain!

It is HARD seeing the number go up on the scale, though, haha

      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.
