Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 Hi Sheila, I too found out I was pregnant on my one year anniversary! And like you, I stressed about the weight gain. This is my second child (my boy is almost 5 years old) and it was hard at first to enjoy the news knowing I would be gaining weight. BUT, I am now 21 weeks pregnant and am STILL not back up to my pre-pregnancy weight. I lost 11 pounds the first trimester and have only gained back 9 of those pounds. Over half way through with pregnancy and am doing quite well. Have had NO desire or energy to do any exercising and have not really been watching what I eat although I do still stay away from sweets as much as I can because they cause me to dump. Before surgery I weighed 375 pounds. At my one year anniversary I was 205. Today I am 203 and 21 weeks pregnant. All I can say is THANK GOD for this surgery! With my first pregnancy, I had already gained 30 pounds by the halfway mark!!

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 Happy Re-Birthday, Sheila! I've never posted here before, but I have been lurking for a few months. I had my surgery a year ago today, also!! We aren't pregnant, yet, but I will know by Saturday. This was our first month trying. I would do your best to make the proper choices as you go. Remember protein, protein, protein! Do you take any vitamins? I recommend going to Vitalady.com. She had RNY and knows tons about nutritional supplements! Best of luck and I hope to be as far along as you, soon!! ~ Stella~Randall Pre-Op 299 June 5, 2000 Post-op 168 June 5, 2001 Busting out of size 28 to sliding into 14's!! --- sheilacmarr@... wrote: > Hi I am new to this group and I just have a question > to ask.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2001 Report Share Posted June 6, 2001 Dear Shelia, I am two years post op started at 290 and ended at 190. I am 8 weeks pregnant on Friday and am so nauseated I have lost 6 pounds. I couldn't lose before pregnancy and now that my digest tract is slowed down so much, I am full sooooo easy. Constipated too. I don't plan to gain more than 20lbs. I also signed up for water aerobics that starts next week. Good luck to you I will look for your posts.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2001 Report Share Posted June 15, 2001 Hi, Sorry for taking so long to reply. I make sure I have at least one protein drink a day on top of my regular intake. I also take a pregnancy vitamin that I have been taking since my surgery, this is because of the high iron content in these vitamins. Also vitamin c and a calcium pill. Hopefully you had good news about being pregnant. Good luck. Sheila > > Hi I am new to this group and I just have a question > > to ask. I am > > one year post-op as of today.
