It's been a while-Checking in with some news
Hi guys,
It's been a while for me posting. I do read and have just been lazy about responding. I will try to do better.
I had my 11 month check up today. I have lost 107.5 pounds. I am now in just the overweight category. My surgeon is very happy with my progress and so am I.
I feel so much better and thankful that this surgery was an option.
Now, the big news......
I am going to have a baby!!! It is something that I have wanted and been trying for, for a very, very long time. The weight loss was not only for my health but for the chance to have a child. It is still very early, I am only four weeks. I hope that the pregnancy continues and I deliver a healthy baby.
My surgeon told me to keep up with my vitamins and try to eat some protein every couple of hours and I should be fine.
I know Cira is due any day and I am excited to hear when her little one arrives.
Tah tah, for now,
Wanda
Congratulations Wanda on doing so wonderful losing so much weight and getting pregnant!! How exciting!! Were you trying or was it a surprise like it happened to me? I know my dr had told me to wait 18 months to 24 months and I assured him I was not going to try to have any children ever. lol
I am so happy for you!!
As for the vitamins my surgeon Dr. Von Rueden immediately told me to continue the adult centrum and take a prenatal right away and extra folic acid, vitamin D pill, continue my calcium citrate two times a day add a vitron C (iron pill) 1 time a day... He told me to keep my protein up and eat healthy and complex carbs to my diet because the baby will need it.
Wishing you all the best in your pregnancy and keep us posted. By the way you must keep hydrated so your uterus does not get irritated.
Pm me anytime you need to talk or ask me anything.
Hugs,
I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.
Those that mind don't matter, and those that matter don't mind.
Cira 249/144.0 current/goal 154/ 5'3" 10 lbs below my Dr's goal
(((( Wanda )))) Congratulations on your pregnancy . that is such exciting news. Hugs, Mo
Comparison is the thief of joy!
If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished. Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago. I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits! Wherever you are in your journey ... It's ALL good!!!
Congrats on your weight loss! And even bigger congrats on the pending arrival of the little one. That is so exciting!
