Been a long time

Hi All, It has been a long time since I have posted but wanted to say hello to everyone and say that you all look fantastic. I am currently 17 months post op and I cant imagine where the time has gone.. but with it went 80+ pounds ... Woohoo! . I feel wonderful and more energetic that ever. I am also expecting my very first baby in October.... October 10 to be exact! I am 21 weeks along and have gained about 5 pounds. I manage to get all the calcium, iron, liquids, and extra calories my body needs to grow a healthy bean (as I like to call her). My OB says I am right on track... Dr. A said I would gain about 15 pounds throughout.. so I guess I am doing well. We found out we are having a girl and her name will most likely be Mallory. I will be getting married (wow) next spring... everyone wanted me to be married before the bean arrives but I said I didnt go through WLS to be thin and healthy .. just to be pregnant on my wedding day! haha. You all seem to be doing really well!!!!! Keep it up!! Hugs to you. Beckie

congradulations beckie,,keep up the good work...cyndee

Thanks Cyndee... You do the same!

Congratulations on your weight loss journey, on your new hubby to be, and a new baby... Wow that is great.... Best of luck to you.... Keep us posted on the bean... Magaly

The bean is kicking up a storm today... must be the hot sauce on my eggs this morning.. lol!

Oh Beckie honey I am SOOOO HAPPPY for you!!!!!! Remember- eat good choices- protein protein and calcium, don't forget the veggies and your vitamins.......if you make good choices for you and the baby you won't gain FAT just baby. Oh honey I am SO HAPPY for you!!!!!

Thanks so much!!!! I have been doing good on my food choices for the most part... good thing the craving stage is about gone. Weird thing, I was lactose intolerant before I got pregnant.. now, I can have an ice cream or milk (in a reasonable portion) without getting sick.. it is like my body knows I need the calcium.

Hey Beckie I am so so happy for you and hubby to be. I can't wait for your sweet baby girl to get here so I can spoil her rotten. I am going to call you later so I will talk with you then. KJ

WILL YOU BE MY BABY SITTER, KJ? LOL You didnt call.. Jon is working all weekend.. maybe we can get together for a walk or something. Talk to you soon, Skinny. Beckie
