Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Hi mIsty, I had read on this group in past posts that this will be over once the baby is born. I guess our bodies are just craving these things. I think the most important part is not to get into the habit of any junk food, like sweets, cakes and cookies, chips, ect. I am hoping it will pass since I have not gotten to my goal yet. HUGS, ROBIN, NY Age- 41 Due Date- #4 July 27th, 2004 OPEN RNY 10-18-02 378/246/170???

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 I am glad I am not the only one who is freaking out about how much I can eat. I was in shock the other day when I ate a whole hamburger from BK (minus the top bun) I too have reached my goal and was on my way to have my tummy tuck (was scheduled for today)when I found out I was pregnant. I am now 10 months post op and 10 weeks pregnant. I have not gained any weight, actually have lost another 4lbs according to my scale at home. The doc scale is 2lbs higher than mine at home. I too am worried about wasting this tool I was given. I never want to go back to the person I was. Thanks for listening to me.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 - I am with you! I, too, was in the process of having a TT. I was going to the dr documenting my rashes and such so I could get insurance to approve it, then I found out I was pregnanyt! I am now 9 weeks along. My food volume has increased the further I have gotten out of surgery, but even more so now! I know that I need to eat to feed the baby (this is my 2nd child, my son is 9 yrs old) and I have been eating BUT I am scared of not being able to lose what I gain once I have my baby. I am not being selfish & trying to diet, just struggling with these new issues regarding gaining weight. Heck, I just got within 3 pounds of my goal weight in December on WW after losing 20 pounds over 9 months so I want to pout for a bit!! haha I did get well below my goal weight after surgery but had a " bouce " due to reverting back to old habits. I am 3+ years out and this surgery has been one of the best things that I have ever done... besides having my son and soon to be marrying my fiancee!! Take care, Ivy (AKA Jake's mom) EDD 8/22/04 First " ofifcial " dr appointment 1/20 --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 I hope I only gain what is needed to have a healthy baby. I dont want to sound selfish or anything, but now that I have been given a chance to be thin\healthy, I dont want to go back. Does that make sense? Have you read from anyone how hard it is to loose after the baby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
