Checking in 4 yrs wow!
time flies!!
Can't believe it!
I have a 19 month old and I am 28 weeks pregnant with #2.
I gained a ton of baby weight but got within 10 lbs of goal again and then sorta didn't really try because I knew I was going to start trying soon for #2. I hope to not gain quite as much as last time. SO I won't have as much to lose afterwards.
I have noticed tho that my body is shaped differently now so even getting down to my goal weight -I may not fit back into my skinny clothes. That is probably going to require a tummy tuck at this point. Not sure if/when that will ever happen because insurance isn't going to cover it and 2 kids take priority over mommy's vanity! I don't have any post op complications or skin issues so I will just have to deal with the "fat roll" as I lovingly refer to it.
I hope everyone is well. I am soo glad I had this surgery and recommend it to this day when I speak with people. I had a co-worker at my last job who also had the surgery maybe 2 yrs ago but she was no where near close to goal. Not sure exactly what happened but she ate less than I did. I did notice tho that she drinks REGULAR sugary sodas so that can't help and she really didn't have issues with dumping. I pretty much keep all my beverages SUGAR FREE unless I am indulging in an alcoholic beverage or the occasional watered down fruit juice.
I still eat with smaller utensils and use the bread plates. I try to portion out food instead of mindless eating but a lot of that is thrown out the window while preggers. Last time after having my son it was like everything went back to normal and my constant food cravings were gone. I think my raging hormones had everything out of whack and once that normalized so did my hunger (plus I sleep better when not pregnant and I finally have studies that back up sleep apnea and weight gain/carb craviings) I am a respiratory therapist so I am into that sort of thing!
Cheers and congrats on all of us making it 4 yrs post op!
