Just barely pregnant and whoa, is it a weird place to be
Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't been around the past week or two. As some of you know, a big reason I had the sleeve was in hopes that it would help me get pregnant. And, it did. We still needed a lot of medical intervention, but I'm a week post frozen embryo transfer and have been getting positive pregnancy tests for the past three days. I know what I need to do nutritionally, and all my doctors support this pregnancy, but whoa, is it a mind trip. I just hit goal a few weeks ago, and although I'm still maintaining, my clothes are tight from the bloat and my appetite is out of control. Last year was all about learning how to eat for my sleeve, and now I need to modify that to learn to eat for my sleeve, and hopefully, this baby. It's really early, and things might change any minute, but for now I'm pregnant (!) and I wouldn't have gotten here without the support of this board.
Congratulations! I'm so happy for you. Parenthood is an adventure! best of luck with your pregnancy!
