WOW...It's been a looooong time!

Hi all, I just thought I would stop by for a visit and see how everyone is doing. I have been on obesityhelp, but mainly the post-op pregnancy board. Yuppers...at 10 months out, I found out I was expecting my 6th child! What a shock as I was on all sorts of fertility treatments for all my other children. None the less, we are all very excited to have another baby in the house. I am due in 4 short weeks. It was very scary because I was watching my weight creep up (I have gained 22 lbs.). I experienced hypogylcemic episodes for the last 2 trimesters, so the docs had me eating 35 grams of carbs every 2 hours! I cried and cried thinking I would blow up. But all seems to have turned out well. I am very afraid that I will fall back into the grazing mode after the baby is born, so I expect to be turning to all of you again for support, if you'll have me back! Sorry this post is so long...it's nice to see some familiar faces! Sherry

Hey! Congrats on the pregnancy! What a blessing. I definitely hear you about putting on weight with pregnancy. That's my biggest fear about pregnancy, but you know what they say--you have to make your "tool" work for you. I'll put you in my prayers. Let us know when the new addition gets here!! Is it a girl or a boy? Do you have a name picked out? Take Care, KT

I am so ready to have this baby. Yes, we know it is a girl. Lilly Josephine. I am so excited. This is my 6th child and the first one we found out ahead of time. Here are some pics. Hopefully the link works. Sherry http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/cskwj/album?.dir=44c2

Congratulations on the wonderful news!! I've known a couple of people who've had WLS and babies, and they did GREAT!! Do not seem to be having any problems at all with weight gain post-pregnancy!! You can do it!! Let us know ALL the details. Hugs, Pam

Thanks so much for the reply...that makes me feel better. I will be glad when this is all over with. I can't wait to be holding her. Here are a few pics of how huge I am.... http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/cskwj/album?.dir=44c2 Thanks again! Sherry
