Post-Op Pregnancy info added to Road To Thin

Since I am newly pregant (with twins! -- yikes!)... I thought it was time to update my site, The Road to Thin, with some post-op info. Though I refer people to the OH post-op pregnancy board for more info, I also did some internet research to try to find out some basic "it is good -- is it not good" info for those of who are pregnant or hope to become pregnant. I hope you find it helpful. www.theroadtothin.com If some of you don't know the site... I get a lot of positive feedback. Basically, I have tried to take all the info I have learned and put it all in one place. Maria Twins due -- hopefully not before Christmas. www.theroadtothin.com

Wow Maria! What a year it's been for you.......... I remember reading your profile months and months ago and you still were navigating the singles scene. Now look at you...Thin, married and expecting twins! That's what I call a banner year! Congratulations on all of it, Channan

You're Pregnant....................WOW and with twins. OMG I think I'd shoot myself. Will you be okay getting pregnant so soon after RNY. Most surgeons don't recommend pregnancy for 18-24 months because of malnutrition on the fetus. I hope everything will be okay. Let meknow how you make out with eating and keeping up the calories for the babies. I'd be interested in know ing cause i wanted to get pregnant and my docs won;t let me for at least another 6-12 months. Hubbt won't come near me cause he knows. Marie

My surgeon isn't upset... and my OB isn't phased. The OB does't seem to care a whit about the surgery... as long as I take my vitamins and such. My bloodwork came back good... and as long as it stays that way it should be fine. I thought they might consider me high-risk cause of the surgery... but no. But as soon as I told them my age.... they were all over the high-risk category. And when twins popped up... moreso. Since the pregnancy diet is basically our Gastric Bypass diet (frequent small meals, high protein, lots of vitamins, lots of fluids -- and, if morning sickness is an issue, not drinking with meals) no one is really phased at all by the surgery. I haven't even seen anyone blink.
