Your raspberry is ADORABLE!!! :)!!!

So happy for you and your hubby! And your other kids! Big families rock!

Did you talk to your OB about losing weight while preggers? I was 220 when I FINALLY got pregnant with my daughter. My OB actively encouraged me to loose weight while pregnant, though, of course I completely ignored her and ate like a humungus cow.

HUGS and you owe me some kleenex too! Super teary eyed here.

What a lovely outcome for you and your family. I wish you all the very best for your growing family. biggrin.gif

On a side note, I actually lost 23kg while pregnant with my second son simply through watching what I ate and appropriate exercise (under my doctor's care.) So good luck with your weight.

I hope you really enjoy being pregnant. I loved it!

OMGosh, this is probably my favorite post of the entire day! Congratulations to you!!!!!!!!! As a longtime sufferer of PCOS and other various reproductive issues, babies have long been off my radar, and I gave up years ago the idea of ever having children, so I know how that part of it feels.

I am completely impressed and happy for you!

Also, I've heard that 'band babies' are somewhat common, as women end up gaining back their fertility when they start losing weight. I have a friend who is a fellow bandster, and she got pregnant right after getting her band, and her little son is a healthy 3 year old now, so I know it's possible to have a healthy pregnancy with the band.

Good luck with everything! How exciting!

So guess what... ME TOO! Just found out. I am still in shock and awe. Guess losing weight helps with PCOS. My mom's response was "Well, I guess you're getting healthier."

HOLY CRAP!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
