Thanks for the info. I hope to follow through your pregnancy & see how things end up. My birthday is July 7th. You should try to hang in there one more day....7 is a lucky number, especially 7th month, 7th day.....lol....

Hope all goes well with this pregnancy. I hope you keep us all updated.

Thanks,
Marci

Ange,
Thank you for the update. I'm glad your morning sickness seems to be subsiding. Congratulations too on your continued weight loss.

My surgeon said it would be safe to begin trying after my weight has been stable for a couple of months so that is my plan. I hope to get to goal by the end of January and then start trying after I've been there for a while.

I wish you continued health through this second trimester!

16 pounds lost pre-op

I had two babies at over 300 pounds. I had beautiful healthy babies. The only thing that was hard for me was that I wanted to loose weight before the second and he was a suprise when I was working out and dieting. (which wasn't working anyway). I didn't have any issue with Diabetes or anything. My blood pressure was never high and I carried to full term. My first baby that is now 21 months was 8lbs 12oz and my second one that came just two months ago was 9lbs 11oz. Big babies run in my family. My sis is small and both her babies were over 8lbs. Anyway...my issues were phyisical it was really hard on my knees carrying around that much fluid and weight. I couldn't play with my little one while pregnant and I still find it difficult. I have major lower back issues and my boobs got even bigger with the second one. So I guess what I am saying is if I could have been thinner before getting pregnant with the second one I would do it. Now I am having the surgery in Jan. and I just had the Mirena inserted so I don't have to worry about another pregnancy accident. But I think that I want to try for another one in about 5 years. I hope that helped. I know we forget what it was like when we were pregnant before. Just coming off the whole experience..even if you have a healthy pregnancy it's no fun when your overweight.

almost 22 weeks and had a scan that shows everything is very very normal... all the measurements and functions were spot on average/**normal** got to love that! i am told however that i i wont know if i got a big baby till im much further along.

i know i got a comedian baby tho.... ***baby says*** i want choc...... (only twice now) but i cant tolerate choc!!!! i eat it anyway and.... rot roe!!!! lol problems!! i havent worked out weather the tolerance level for fryed food/smells is from the baby or from the surgury!!! hope its the surgury tho. i have trouble going into a any space where there is fryed food cooking???? (one way to cure the old kfc habbit) again... very happy for that! it seems that there are many things that i have gone off since the surgury/pregnancy. most of them are positive dislikes. hell i have even started a few new habbits that i know are way better for me...and bub, not to mention my daughter! so.... many positives still comming. still craving some sweet naughty stuff... but...if i dont cook it, i cant eat it. moral of the story is dont cook it!!!! hmmm write that down angie!!

cheers

ange.
