New kid on the block.

Hi my Name is Lisa and I has Lap RNY in October 2002 and recently found out that I'm pregnant, although unplanned I'm still very excited. Is there anybody else thas has been in this situation?

WOW Congrats!!! you might want to post this on the main board as well.

Ok Latinas...let's get this party going This Easter was the first for mi nieta SamiyahRosa she looked so cute with her fancy dress she had decorations on her hair and believe it or not she did not take it off She is one of the reasons I decided to have the lapband done so I could run after her when she starts walking hahahaha... So Linda are we getting ready to start salsa dancing. amor y paz Rosa.D.

I will be thinking of you and wishing you the best surgery on May 5th. Good luck and GOD speed!!!!!!!!

Ask yourself "Is it fear of commitment or fear of failure?" You have committed to your WL by having the Surgery "Tool". Now it is time to commit to your physical health by committing to a healthy lifestyle which should include daily physical activity. Some can be diligent at home. My husband is very good at using his weights and Tai Chi videos on his own. I need the silent competition found in the gym. It may be the accountability too. The regulars begin to see you at the gym and soon you become a regular. I am currently working out in my office building fitness center. It has all the equipment I need and is available 24/7. I choose to do cardio in the morning and weights after work splitting my workout in 2 - 30/45min sessions approx 5 days/wk. In the morning there are several regulars I have become buddies with. I feel guilty if I don't give the workout my all because they may hold me accountable. Plus to get me there I leave all my morning stuff in the locker so I have to go in to get ready for work. And since I have to go into the lockerroom I should at least do the 30 min cardio and stretching. (The locker trick may not work for a guy since you probably don't use makeup, blowdriers, curling irons) Regardless, you have invested in yourself - you should use this as a time to reinvent a healthy, stronger and active individual - not just a smaller stomach person. Gym or no gym find physical activities that you enjoy. Find a walking, running group. Get friends together to form golfing, volleyball, soccer or bowling leagues. Don't just limit your exercise to a gym.

Congrats to you Lisa!! That is wonderful news - I'm really happy for you! You'll see that everything will work out fine for you & the baby. I'll be praying for you!

Hello Melinda...and Welcome... Every doctor's program is a little different, so please check with your doctor and/or nutricionist. You will see a nutricionist before your surgery, they go over your entire meal plan. My plan does allow me to eat babyfood, 3 weeks after surgery. Please be careful with eating foods ( applesauce, bananas, etc.) that are high in sugar.................Good Luck and remember; your thoughts, comments, advice, questions, and just plain venting is welcomed and encouraged.. Keep us updated on your progress Waarm regards, carolbear p.s. keep your journal updated, you will be glad you did

Lisa, I know of a girl that used to live here in Greenville, but is now living in Concord that found out she was pregnant at about 9 months out from her lap RNY. Her name is Rebekah Almond. You might want to look up her profile.

Okay, I am way new to this WLS stuff. It something that I have thought about for some time but have just recently started to persue it. My thought was that I would use piecing to counteract eating urges. I was amazed when I found that there was a group of quilters on line that not only would share my passion for quilting but my "un-growing pains" as I go down this road. I sure hope I can find my niche here. Nancy
