Hi everyone....Just checking in its been a long time. I reached goal and now being 15 months out I found out im EXPECTING!! I cant believe it. I am super excited, scared and everything in between. I am most worried about gaining all my weight back. If anybody has good advice or pregnancy info I would love to hear it. Thanks

That's so amazing. Congrats!

You look fabulous and congrats!!

Many congrats on the pregnancy ! ! !

The main issues is that you can NOT continue to eat low carb. Ketosis causes fetal brain damage so GO EAT A SANDWICH, if you are still low carbing it.

Honestly, VSG has not complicated my pregnancy. The biggest challenge has been the inevitable weight gain, but you might not have as much as I have. I've gained a solid 20lbs at 29 weeks pregnant and even though that is perfectly on target, it's mindbending for me to gain weight. I have struggled with the physical changes, my ever expanding belly, and the fact that I'm 34 doesn't help! This is also my 2nd pregnancy, and higher numbers on the scale are expected with a 2nd pregnancy.

So, my recommendation is to get to your ob, you shouldn't have to take any additional Vitamins, but make sure they monitor your B12 and Folate on a regular basis. If you aren't taking anything, start now. Folic acid and B12, Iron are the ones we need the most. My labs have remained stellar through my pregnancy. All you'll need is a prenatal with a sublingual b12.

If you have worked out through your journey, keep working out. I admittedly didn't work out, and haven't in the pregnancy. I know that has contributed to my weight gain.

Depending on your starting pregnancy weight, will determine your pregnancy calorie/protein/carb goals.

I'm to eat 1700-1800 calories, 100gr of Protein 100gr of carbs, and 100oz of clear fluids per day. Yes, it's challenging, and I drink some calorie-filled drinks because I simply can not eat all my calories. Grape juice helps tremendously.

Again, many congrats, and if you need anything, feel free to shoot me a message!

Congrats!!
