I'm 9 months post op and 6 months pregnant!

What in the world did i get myself into?! I found out i was pregnant 5months after my surgery. I wasnt too happy about it. I was just starting to enjoy my life again and then BOOM! I can honestly say I tried everything to avoid this happening. In November and December me and my husband we're going at it like rabbits. I was warned that this would happen. But I was having too much fun.

The good thing was at continue to lose weight all the way until about 2 weeks ago. Then within a week I gained 6 pounds. I was flabbergasted. So I started that on my Fitness Pal to watch what I was eating. I lost 5 pounds in a week. I have not done any major exercising 6th February. I am constantly exhausted. And now my blood sugar is a concern again for my doctors. They want me to concentrate on keeping my blood sugar levels rather then concentrate on losing weight. I'm frustrated and annoyed. But my baby is fine a growing very well. As the god that I only have 3 more months to go. Because I'm ready to move on and am reach my goal weight. I am now 251 and my goal weight is 200. If I wasn't pregnant I would have been in 200 a long time ago.

I'm still maintaining and still feel good about myself here's a pic from last Saturday.

Congrats!. Im confident too that i will be back on track as soon as my baby is born

My goal was down to 150 And then get pregnant. My docs said no baby til Atleast 1 1/2 to 2 years out. We've been trying for 5 years and 5 miscarriages. So I went on mirena about 4 months before surgery. Good luck to you I wish I could get pregnant early

i had 1 miscarriage, and 1 still born. and when i told my dr i was prego. he said off the record yay. on the record i said wait a year. then he was happy for me. he just told me to watch the cravings and make sure i can handle the food .

My surgeon wasnt that worried about me pregnant. The main problem that i cant seem to kick is diabetes. Im not on medication but my OB has practically denied me of everything that i can eat. I actually gain 6lbs because i was snacking excessively to maintain my blood sugar. I decided that as long as the baby is healthy and growing i will maintain my calorie intake of 1500 per day. I lost five pounds shortly after. My OB has never had to deal with a paitient like me and i think she overexagerates my situation. My labs are great, my blood pressure is great, my cholestrol is great. The only problem is after i eat my blood sugar rise. Im thinking of finding another DR.

my a1c actually dropped from a 10 to a 5 they do have my insulin again b.c of the diabetes i was off of it right before i got pregnant. but i am only on like 3-6 units at a time. last pregnancy i was on like 40. i have dropped 10lbs since being pregnant. they said once mr. man is out i am off my insulin again :) but my dr said i am a very common case after surgery so no one is worried about me :) wish you the best...

Wow! Are you still losing weight?

I'm stalled right now :-( what do you eat to reach 1500 cal/day? Even when I eat crap food I still can't get over 1k

If your not using myfitnesspal by now you should. It takes a lot of planning for me to make it pass 1k per day. Being pregnant helps because i have all kinds of silly cravings, but im still limited of the amount of food i can intake.
