Just wanted to give you ladies some hope. :)

Here's a little background:

Had surgery April 3, 2012. Tried to get pregnant since September 2009.
Started trying to get pregnant again in April 2013 (one year post op).

Got pregnant in October 2013 - NATURALLY (tried fertility treatments in the past).

Started pregnant at 163 pounds (5 feet 6 inches tall - was 271 on day of surgery).

I am now 26 weeks and 3 days pregnant (due June 22, 2014!) with a healthy baby boy!

Went from 163 to now 169 pounds! 13+ weeks to go! :)

My daughter in law is pregnant with our first grandbaby. She's about the same as u - 26 weeks. So nice to c pics, as she doesn't post many pics of her progress (she lives about 1,000 miles away). She's having a boy also (Elton james).

Congrats! U look fantastic! So many women use pregnancy as an excuse to gain a bunch of weight. Looks like u have it under control...

We live far from all of my family, so I post weekly pictures of my baby bump on Facebook ;) hehe.

I hope to end the pregnancy at at MAX of 185 (which would put me at a 22 lb TOTAL gain)... but, if I'm less, that's great, too!

Baby boy measures perfectly, so, I can't complain!

It is HARD seeing the number go up on the scale, though, haha

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
