AWWW!!!! I'm prego and then read this sweet story. no fair now i am crying. so happy you are in this wonderful part of your life!!

Awe don't cry I am in a very happy place. My job is the only thing that sucks "new manager" but I've accepted that it's time for a change life goes on. It isn't the end of the world.

I don't know what state you are in but you could file a stress claim under workers comp..I'm a work comp defense attorney in California and get psyche cases all the time' date=' but our state may have different rules. See an attorney; most give free consultations.[/quote']

My doctor put me on bed rest. At this point I no longer want to go back. I think after my girls are born I'm going to look for another job less stressful. Thank you for the advice

I'm 24w1d prgo. I've gained 17lbs. Started at 143lbs today I am 160lbs... I got pregnant around 11 months post op but didn't find out till my 1 year post op appointment. I have to be careful with how much I eat and what I eat because the restriction has gone out the window. I was only able to eat maybe 1/4 of a sandwich before I got prego and now I can eat a whole sandwich. I find myself basically eating all the time! I crave sweets! My dr keeps telling me to stop worrying about my weight and just eat healthy but it's hard! Hope this helps you some!

I've noticed that I've been eating the whole sandwich too but my worries is that I haven't gained. My mom says that my face and body look like they're still losing weight except my belly. That's the only thing growing. I have a soon this week to check measurements. I'm praying to god they are getting everything I intake.

Oh congratulations on your pregnancy that is good news keep up the great work thanks for sharing

I still crave chocolate but in moderation lol especially with my twins. I think one loves sweets and the other the Mexican food lol we call her Frijole haha I can't wait to see my girls.

Thank you ladies I'm super excited

Amazing' date=' congrats!![/quote']

Thank you

Thanks ladies! I didn't do no testing.. But let's just say I went from having one period a year to having a period every month after surgery. Then out of the blues I got pregnant. Also' date=' during one of my ultrasounds I no longer had cyst in my ovaries too. Not saying I am completely over PCOS (which we'll never know) but I'm sure fertile now I'm 4 wks away from my due date & this pregnancy journey has been great thus far good luck to you both.[/quote']

I'm super excited for you!! I'm 30 weeks this week and I can't wait! How much have you gained? I haven't gained a single lb with these twins but I know they're growing because I feel them soooo much !

Well I'm pregnant with twins 30 weeks this coming week and I still haven't gained weight. My belly has grown and I feel my little girls practicing for a kick boxing match everyday all day lol

I'm finally 30 weeks this week. I can't believe it I'm still in shock that I'm going to be a mom. I remember a years ago one of my so called best friends said "well maybe you can't have kids" I felt like crap. My own BFF was telling me that maybe I wasn't meant to have children when she is the worst mom in my eyes.

Then I dropped 150 lbs and fell in love with this amazing guy. He stole my heart when his mom passed away in November and he leaned on me for support. I've always said everything happens for a reason and then my dad passed away in February. He was here for me like I was there for him. Now we are going to be parents. Two little girls coming into our lives. Our angels

I seriously thought I'd never be a mom since all my friends had kids a long time ago and here I am at 31 trying to conceive since 10 years ago when I married my ex husband.

If you haven't been able to conceive don't lose hope. If it's meant to be it will happen!!

Life's good now I'm excited to be a mom!! Super Happy!!

They had me check my levels four times a day for two weeks straight and I'm happy to say that my levels were normal each time. So he said it wasn't necessary for me to continue testing.

But do y'all think my doc will put me on release already? I'm going on 29 weeks barely and this supposedly manager is causing me problems. Honestly I need a new career. I'm exhausted but don't want to lose me FMLA. My job does cover that it's the least I can get after 8+ years.

I don't want to make a scene because my two other sisters work there. I don't want to jeopardize their job.

It just sucks when I put my all into it for some a*****e.

I've been with the same company over 8 years. They brought in a new manager which may I add doesn't know anything about the business and only got the job because he has a degree in accounting. I worked my ass off from the lowest position to one of the highest. So a few days ago this man walks in my office and tells me he doesn't see me putting an effort in my job. I'm 7 months pregnant with twins and I take on every problem that is presented to me and I did a fix. This morning he have me a write up on the conversation we had!!! I felt chest pains from the anger I felt and decided to grab some of my stuff and went in his office and told him I was going to the hospital. Anyone have any legal advice for me? I've been there 8 plus years. Never had a problem. He's been there two months and have me a write up for not putting an effort in my job for the past three months. At this point I do not want to work there anymore. Im tired. My back hurts and I'm stressed. The hospital said that I had an anxiety attack. Someone help me I feel hopeless.

Sorry to hear you had to take the glucose test. I never took the glucose test. I just got my blood drawn once a week for 4 weeks straight and I was clear of GD. Now that I am almost due I just have to get one more blood draw and I am good till baby arrives. My ob never considered glucose test because of my sleeved. Maybe your doctor isn't experience with WLS patients.

Yes! You are correct. I don't think he's experienced and my prob now is that i think it's too late to switch docs :/ and I'm really comfortable with him. I've tested my blood two days in a row 4 times a day and norm norm norm. So I know I'm okay.

I couldn't keep it down and it all and out within two minutes so they ordered me to test 4 times a day. I started this morning and so far my levels are normal. I've never had any issues with diabetes or any other problems not even when I weighed almost 400 lbs and I think I know my body well and I feel amazing

Thank you!! I took checked my blood level this morning and it was 80 before lunch I feel awesome. Just for my babies I'm going to check it this week and then I'll tell them they need to find another method for us sleevers.

I think it is the same range. Just follow your doctor's instructions as low blood sugar is common in pregnancy (gestational diabetes). Congratulations on the twins!

Thanks. I guess I'll start poking my finger tomorrow lol

I'm sorry for your loss. I too lost my first baby that i soo wanted at 5 weeks. Then I had a period and was pregnant again after and to my surprise twins.

Everything happens for a reason. Don't let it get you down. Maybe it wasn't your time yet.

I never thought I'd ever have a chance to be a mom and now I'm 26 weeks with my girls. Every week that passes I feel like I'm crossing a marathon finish line. I know exactly how you feel.

Stay strong my friend.

How did you so with the glucose testing? We're you able to drink all the liquid?

I'm upset because my doc is forcing me to take the glucose test which I need to drink a bottle of sugary substance the same amount of a bottle of Water within 5 mins. There's no way my stomach can intake that much liquid in that time. So of course I threw it up. Now because of that I need to poke my finger 4 times a day I check my sugar w the blood strip machine and it came out at 64. Does anyone know if after the surgery what's normal for us? Is it the same range? So worried :|

Congrats!!! I married when I was 20 because I wanted to have kids so bad and didn't. I ended up divorced and very depressed.

8 years later I decided to have the gastric sleeve surgery because I was very obese.

150 lbs down and bam! I got pregnant a year later at 31 everything happens for a reason. Maybe me weren't ready before. I'm sooo enjoying this baby, baby and mommy thing.(having twin girls) I never thought I'd get the chance. We are blessed.

I'm 6 months preg with twins. I've only gained a bump lol and 2 lbs. I mostly wear tanks and shorts on the weekends but I need some pants for work if anyone has any.

How exciting! Congrats!! I'm 6 months preg with twin girls I can't wait to see them!!

& barely noticeable. I think lol it all depends what i wear. I still haven't gained a lb. I'm stuck on 247-250
