  2. I was weighed after my surgery before I went home due to the fact the surgeon told me I would weigh out heavier from the fluids in the IV.. left weighing 306lb..

    Pregnant Mama Check-in

    I am 9months post op and 18 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby boy my doctor didn't want me losing any more weight and in 18weeks still weighing in under where she wants me but baby is right on target... its been a rough start for me... nausea, sleepless nights, constantly feeling tired and constantly nibbling on food, swelling and my leg pain is back so im making it threw day by day ... hoping side effects ease up on me I just feel like a wreck so I can enjoy this time its my first baby was told for years id never be a mom so I am excited to meet my little prince congrats to all u other mama's

      Pinky congrats on the baby boy, I know I have said it before, but I also didn't know you were having a little guy. I will say I have one of each and boys are fun!!! Being pregnant before this surgery or after it takes a toll on your body no matter what, but heres the good thing, you doing it after means you will just be more healthy during your pregnancy with the weight off. I was pregnant before and while I was at one of my heaviest points and It made for me to have many problems with my second pregnancy. You will do great, and after the baby comes, you will be back to loosing like before. Your going to do great, and be a great mama!!!

    1 month post op

    avoid bread I thought 1 month post op I could eat any of the stuff u had listed u can learn the hard way way to soon for stuff that expands in your stomach u will regret it... had bread get stuck was not a pleasant experience and I was advised if it doesn't stay down the next 3 days I had to be on a liquid diet due to inflamed tummy ... stomach takes along time to heal u didn't do all this work for nothing that piece of bread can wait!!! I did however eat a few potato chips just cus I needed to have the crunch feeling while eating.. if u do that try the simply baked lays there amazing!! just don't eat too many!..
  6. its the milk try almond milk and the tomatoe juice is also probably not the best option either look at the sugar content of it right after surgery my stomach couldn't handle anything with more then 6g ....
  7. I am still very amazed at certain things this surgery truely gave me my life back and then some.. alot of first for me this year I never knew was possible the major thing is im 10 weeks pregnant expecting my first child i cannot believe that at all. The second major thing is im not longer shopping in plus size department its funny how i still wander over to it regurdless im still amazed when i walk by mirrors... however 1 thing im not fond of is complete strangers walking up to me ...never new people noticed me like that ... all in all its been a rough year and i know i got a rough road ahead of me but i wouldnt change it for the world... :)

      Just talk to your OB, and your surgeon, they should be able to advise you, but I don't think that it really is going to effect you any, just make sure you get in your vitamins, and your protein still, I think the way you eat now will probably be better for the baby anyway, cause your eating in a healthier way, plus it's going to be better for you too, cause your not heavy like before and your less likely to have pregnancy diabetes!!! I had that and it stinks!!! Be happy god gives us babies when he is ready!!! He must think your ready to be a mom!!! This is an amazing thing!!!
