Hi i am 18 months out of surgery and prego

just found out today that i am pregnant. Not sure how i feel about it, of course i am happy children are a blessing but in my new found vanity all i can think about is Im gonna look fat again and i look so thin now. i wont be able to wear all of my cute clothes, i wont be sexy. i gained 3 lbs this month and i am only 1 month prego, my only thought is i can get back over 200lbs again it had been so long since i had been under 200 i dont want to go back. someone please some encouraging words this is really messing me up in the pit of my well pouch lol

hello,

 I just want to say I hear where your coming from... I found out I was pregnant 4 months after my RNY I was down 107lbs and still extremely heavy... I was happy cuz like you said children are a blessing, but I wasn't ready for another one yet... I seen my surgeon and they had me go see my NUT, in between the 2 apts. I found out I was having twins... Just to tops off my freaking out...lol I kept saying how the hell am I gonna eat for 3?  Well needless to say I did what I was suppose to( taking my vitamins,eating healthy still and small meals, more carbs and cals.etc.) and I still lost  68 lbs threw the pregnancy, until this last month I have gained 20 lbs back, but like I said I am still obese and prego with twins... Very much water weight too... This pregnancy has been easier for me then my daughters was before surgery... IDK all I can say is Congrats! and your not the only one to think like you are about this... there a lot of women on here that will tell you the same.  I wish ya the best, IDK if I was any hel*****t but... I hope so...lol

my only encouraging words are this- congrats on being pregnant!!!!!!!!!! Babies are wonderful!!!!!

I got pregnant only 3 months after my RNY and I am due in about 5 weeks. I lost weight through the 1st and 2nd trimester but have now stabilized.

congrats and welcome!... you dont have to eat for 2... you will be fine... if your not eating carbs make sure you add some... take your vitimans... i only gained 9 lbs with my 2nd and she was 7 lb 3 oz... and as of yest im 7 lbs UNDER my pregnancy weight

Just eat healthy and smart, stay active, take your vitamins, and ENJOY your pregnancy!!! If you continue your healthy lifestyle then you shouldn't have a problem with too much un necessary weight gain and you should be able to get back down to your normal weight after your pregnancy. Just think - you are going to be a cute little pregnant lady! All skinny with a cute baby bump! I would have KILLED for one of those!! lol! Congratulations! Get ready for the best thing that has ever happened to you!
