Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Hi everyone, I am new here, so I thought I would introduce myself. My name is Lori, I am 38 yrs. old, married and have a 4 yr old daughter and I just found out I am pregnant! I had open VBG surgery in July of 2002 and have lost about 114 pounds. I had actually plateaued and haven't lost any weight for the past 4 months, although i still need to lose about 40 pounds to hit a realistic healthy goal. I am very excited about being pregnant, but in the same breath I am scared to death! I know it sounds petty, but I am petrified about the upcoming weight gain. Of course I want a healthy pregnancy but I have worked so hard to lose this weight. This is all very stressful for me, which I know is bad for my baby. So my question to everyone is this....How did you all handle the weight gain aspect, and if anyone would like to share their story, I would love to read it! Thanks! Lori D.
