Katie

thank you!

Thank you!! It does help, I've been stressing out since I found out!

I had my surgery almost 3 years ago (January 20, 2011). I had to sign a paper saying I wouldn't get pregnant for 2 year, and I suppose it was close enough? Lol. But I have a few concerns, this is my first baby and I really have no idea how my body will react? Is there any advice you can give me on what to expect? I know I'll be gaining weight..and I'm okay with it because I refuse to gain just because I'm pregnant.

Well, my plans have changed. I had a doctor lined up in June, but lost insurance shortly after that so I decided to wait until I got it again, but in the mean time my fiancé and I have been surprised with a little surprise due the end of June! So for now the tummy tuck is on hold. But I WISH all of you ladies luck!!! I know it's a tough surgery, but I believe it is so worth it!

I remember my doctor saying "If it doesn't grow on trees, you can't eat it everyday." But every once in awhile should totally be okay!

Awesome, thanks!

You should be okay, I don't see why it would be a bad idea. Not all the time though.

My main downfall has been the snacking. It's not always unhealthy, most times it's fruits and cheese but just grazing all day has added up the pounds. I've been watching it more recently, and when I get that urge I get a bottle of water but I'm not sure it's helping. I still feel the need to put something in my mouth.

Okay, thank you!

Does anyone know how much vitamin D is recommended?

Yeah, I have.. I use them now, but I'd like something more.

I'm not worried about when I have kids. I go to the gym and I eat right, I just can't get rid of my stomach from my surgery. I'm 18, kids are no where in sight in my future. I'm tired of not being totally confident because of my stomach.

You're welcome!! I've lost about 100 lbs. I've gained some of it back, but I'm working on it!
