Guest guest Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I had surgery a little over a year ago and have lost about 108 lbs I work out vigorously... running, weight training, lap swimming, biking, doing bikrham yoga or aerobics etc... at least 5 times a week for 1-2 hours. I'm a size 10, my body is solid, without hanging skin (except on my tummy from pregnancy), and despite being recently diagnosed with anemia my physician gave me a glowing review at my last physical.. but I still have like 40 lbs I want to drop. Well, I just found out that I'm pregnant and so I'm at a loss. I'm still working out with my OB's blessing, but weight loss is an inappropriate goal right now. Being pregnant is scary for me because that's how I got fat to begin with. I didn't gain much weight during the pregnancy, but the year of breastfeeding did me in. I was constantly hungry! Now I'm pregnant, sleeved, and scared that the monkey is going to be on my back again after I have the baby. My biggest concern is this.. Can the hormones that allow your body to stretch to accomodate the baby also make it possible for your stomach to stretch? They can make your nose, face, hands, and feet grow larger.. why not your stomach? Is this an irrational fear? Has anyone been through pregnancy post sleeve or have any advice? I'm so worried. I've been saving and was planning on a tummytuck, lipo, and a boob job in the not too distant future. If I get fat again, I won't need them.. I'll be getting another sleeve! ~Barb DOS 2/13/09 Beg/Now/Goal 278/170/130 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
