pregnant... and already got rid of my "big" clothes...



Recommended Posts

So where does a plus size woman get maternity clothes? I really don't have a budget... I'm still overweight, so maybe I won't show much?

All my friends that I've witnessed be pregnant were normal weight woman, so they were showing within a few months of learning they were pregnant. I've still got excess weight and loose skin too, so I'm thinking I can shop just plain old bigger plus sizes and not need maternity?

What do big ladies wear when they are pregnant? Any post op's that didn't make it to goal weight before getting pregnant have any suggestions on what to expect with my body?

Well, I have no answer to your question as I've already allowed three humans to live for 10 long months in my now retired uterus. But, I want to say, CONGRATULATIONS!

Sears, target, and Kmart carry plus size maternity wear that is affordable. Jeans and a pair of black pants and your good. I have an entire wardrobe if u were close to Ohio. Full panel is most comfortable.

Congratulations! I was pregnant last year before my surgery. I shopped at Target and Motherhood Maternity. I would also suggest the full panel in jeans and other pants.

And I promise you will show, even overweight =). That was a concern for me when I got pregnant. I carry all of my weight in my stomach, so I was afraid I would just look fatter then I already was. I looked pregnant probably around 6 months.

I love Old Navy's maternity section!!

I've gotten a couple things from Ross, Motherhood Maternity, Goodwill and eBay. But my favorite is Old Navy. They have cute options and the prices are awesome!

      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.
