That's one lucky baby to have such a healthy and happy mom.
It's gratifying to know that you're looking at this pregnancy as a temporary (and joyful) pause in your WL efforts. Once, at an OA meeting, a young woman broke down and wept because she had just found out she was pregnant and was convinced all her weight loss would be for nothing. I often wonder how she's doing.

It really helped that my bariatric team and my OB were supportive and positive about it. I walked into my 6m post op appointment at my surgeon's goal weight of 60%EWL and they congratulated me and handed me a packet of info on how to have a healthy pregnancy. My OB is also a sleever - so that right there is a huge bonus. She understands the psychology of it as well as the dietary needs.
Being pregnant in the 230s is SOOOOO different than pregnant at 350+. I feel so much better and have less aches and pains than I did non-pregnant at my old weight!
