Guest guest Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 Hi. My name is and I am (obviously) new here. I am 18/19 weeks along. I had lap RNY on February 6, was about 6 months post op when I got pregnant. This will be my third baby, I have a 5yr old and 2 yr old. I had a rough first few months post op, lost 80 lbs in two months because I could not keep anything down, had to make about 5 ER trips for dehydration and malnutrition. Finally started feeling good and got pregnant! LOL Spent the first two months on a picc line line at home because I couldn't keep anything down!! Geesh!! I am finally feeling really good and now I am afraid I am stretching my pouch. I eat sooooo much and sooooo often!! I am always hungry. The good thing, I guess it's good, is that I still get sick if I eat too much or too fast (which I tend to do if I go too long between eating because I get sooooooo hugry!!) So how do I know if I am stretching my pouch?? Is there anyone here who had a baby already and can you tell me about your weight loss after the baby? I am really concerned about not losing after the baby. I had lost 120-125 and was about 20lbs from my goal weight! UGH! Oh, and I did read the post about craving bread ~ I totally crave bread! I have been unable to eat bread since surgery, but I WANT it sooo bad now I always try, and I eat pizza like mad now! And I also have been craving sweets really badly, I was trying so hard to avoid sugar (it doesn't make me dump if I eat it in moderation) but I want brownies and cake soooo bad sometimes! LOL Anyone else?? Suggestions?? LOL Thanks for listening, sorry for going on so long, I am just really excited to have found a group of women in a similar situation!!
