I miss everyone here!!!

Wow! I feel like I haven't been here in FOREVER!!!! :(

I have missed all of your advice, questions, thoughts and cheering you all on!!
I want to try to be here more often now!!!
Hope you are all doing well.

I JUST had my surgiversary (first one!!) on August 8th!!
I'm down 76llbs and 38 weeks pregnant!
Can't WAIT for this little one to join us!!

I'm incredibly nervous about living life without being pregnant!
I have for SURE been breaking rules when it comes to eating due to the fact I have another being inside of me taking a ton of the nutrition.  It's going to be hard to get back to the focus on nutrition for MYSELF and not needing the extra calories.  Scared out of my mind to put ON weight.  But I know when I see her face in a few weeks, it will be SOOOO worth it!!

I'm at that stage though where the people that used to tell me they were worried about me, or were rude to me because I was overweight and obviously they thought i wasn't "taking care of myself" - they now are very quick to say i'm not eating enough & that i'm anorexic.  Trying not to take it personally and trying to just ignore them.   But it kind of hurts.  I've worked hard for this, and also worked so hard to provide for this little life in me.  You just can't win.  And it needs to be about ME and my health and I need to try to not think about what others think.

Just thinking about all of you - cheering you on and hoping you are all feeling well and if you are waiting for surgery - i promise time will fly by!!!  and you CAN do this!!!

xoxo everyone!!!  and here's a few pics for an update for you!!

just a close up  - taken last week and then a preggo pic at 37 weeks!!

So great to hear from you!  I just mentioned you in a post last week, wondering if you had had your baby yet. It sounds like you're doing wonderful and you are looking fantastic!  Good luck to you in the next couple weeks, I'm sending positive thoughts your way!  You're truly blessed. 

 You are a beautiful pregnant lady! You literally have that glow!

Congratulations on the weight loss and baby comming.  Don't worry what others think, if you were not healty or too small your doctor would tell you.  YOU LOOK GREAT. I hope you post baby pictures when she arrives.  Wishing you and easy delivery -- take care. Barb
PS.  hope to meet you at one of the meet and greets

Congrats on your surgiversary and also on the your little bundle that will be arriving soon.  I remmber last year you waiting for surgery and your great videos that you did before and after surgery. 

You look amazing and who cares what others say or think.  No matter what everyone critizes you whether you are too fat or too skinny.  The only person who matters is you and that you are happy where you are.

YOu look wonderful and Icouldn't be happier for you! Let us know when baby comes and how you are both doing!

You look great and you seem to know what you're doing from the tone of your post.  Good luck with everything!  Looking forward to seeing baby pics!

Congrats on your surgiversary!!!  You look amazing!!  I'm so interested to know how you managed your nutrition while pregnant.  Did you  have to take double the supplements?
I just had my RNY sugery on August 2nd and hoping to be preggo  by next year this time!

Try not to worry about others think.  There will always be those who will always give their opinion without knowing all the facts about what we have gone through.  You look great and you look so healthy in your pregnancy picture.

You are such a encouragement to those women who have struggled with getting pregnant!
I sent you a friend request, so maybe if you have time you could send me a short mess about your pregnancy journey.  ( if you feel comfortable).

Thanks!
Lindsay
