Hi P,

Angie has also said what a wonderful time she had with you and I know you're

tired, but be prepared girl, Roy's gonna have a field day with one of the

sentences you wrote.

Glad your ears are feeling better also, now go rest.

Hi gang, I made it home just fine. I had a real bad time with my ears on

the

plane coming home as we were distending, (they hurt like a #@ & *!) but it is

starting to get better, I was to take a shoot (enbrel) on Friday before I

left for Philly and I forgot, so I am sure that had something to do with it,

I took it as soon as I got home last night.

It was so nice to meet Angie and her family! They made me feel as if I was

at

home and I felt as if I knew her forever. I stayed at the Westin Suites

Hotel, and when I checked in after 1st going to angie's (2:00 am) my room

had

" Roaches " I lost it ! my worst nightmare come true! they gave me another

room on another floor and thank GOD no bugs, Needless to say I got my room

free for the weekend.

I spent all my time with Angie, we shared so many stories together and just

had a blast, her husband Jerry is a great guy also not to mention a great

cook also.

I slept most of the day today for some reason I am soooooo tired, so I will

write more tonight, back to my couch for now.

Love,

P

Hi Merry,

I wanted to respond because I got pregnant 7 months post op (although

I was 15lbs from goal at that time) and was panicked as well. I can

resigned myself to gain weight and work on loosing it after the baby

was born. Well, I have been pretty sick throughout the entire

pregnancy and am now under my goal and just trying to keep steady.

The good news is my OB said that he was not worried about the lack of

weight gain as long as the baby was growing (and they can tell

through sonograms) and doing well. It's true what they say that the

baby takes from you. My blood work has been the best it's ever been,

I am thinner now then I was in middle school back when I was 13 years

old! I *do* feel weak and tired, I suspect more from lack of

calories than anything else, but all is well.

I am amazed at how little food it really takes to keep a body going,

and from what I have read on the breastfeeding forum, the same

applies when you are breast feeding. I *am* hoping by then I will be

able to keep my food down, since I was doing very well eating almost

everything I wanted before pregnancy. I don't recall vomitting at

all post op, not until I got pregnant and since then I have not

stopped getting sick.

Best of luck to you!

Hi Dee!

I am 34 weeks now, and have lost...Um....about 20-25lbs total, I am

down to 135lb give or take depending on if it's been a vomitting week

or not. Last week was a vomitting week and I got down to 129, but

this week I am hungry hungry hungry and am back up to the 133-135

mark. It's been really weird to have my bloodwork done and have it

come back perfectly normal as if " nothing " is happening. Thank God

for that!

Hope that helps. I seem to be the only one who frets over the scale

the doctor is really laid back about the whole thing, and since the

baby keeps gaining (according to sonograms) no one is really

complaining.

Dee,

Don't know about the plunk...at least not yet...I am a little behind

you there, but it seems we're neck in neck.

Good luck to you, at least it will be 10 less lbs to worry about when

all is said and done. I have been dreaming of the sushi that I will

have after the baby is born. Fish has made me so sick and I usually

love it so much that I am focusing on getting back to normal once she

is born.

BTW, are you having a boy or a girl, do you know?

That's what it felt like when my water broke, followed by a gush. It

felt like urination, but I could tell my water had broken because

there was lots of merconium in it. If not, I don't know if I would

have figured it out quickly. If you feel like you are leaking urine,

i.e., wetting your pants, call the dr immediately.

Good luck!!!
