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

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
