Expecting

I know, I'm just a lurker, but I just have to share, I'm pregnant! 1 year and 8 days after my surgery. I had put my GBP off so long because I didn't know how it would affect a pregnancy. When I started to read that babies had better outcomes, I finally scheduled my surgery. I assumed, however, that I'd have to do all the infertility things I did before I got pregnant once my year was up, but I didn't. Now I cannot wait until June 20th or thereabouts! So no more weight loss, but honestly I was pretty plateaued out at least the last month. 150# down from my highest and 132.5 down from my surgery weight is such a gift. I don't want to go on and on, but I just had to share, and my husband and I don't want to tell any of our family and friends until I'm farther along. I didn't think me husband would mind if you know since he doesn't know you. I just couldn't keep it to myself. Thanks for listening! Julie L 330/312.5/179.8/no worries about goal now

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! and Best Wishes in this very special time. I'm sure you'll be very careful with vitamins, protein, etc and please go the OH pregancy board for more help!

Julie, this is such amazing news! I am absolutely thrilled for you and your husband. And now you can look forward to a much healthier pregnancy (and better ability to keep up with your little one) since your weight is down to a much healthier level. I am so excited for you! I went through 2 years of infertility before becoming pregnant, and I treasure my children every day, I know it will be wonderful for you as well. Take good care of yourself, watch your nutrition carefully, and I hope you have an easy pregnancy! Post again and let us know how you are doing. Best wishes, Sheryl

Congratulations!!!! Keep posting and let us know how you are doing.
