WEigh In Day!

Hey look - I remembered! lol

I was up to 224 this morning - UGH that hit me hard... That's a 26 pound gain at 39w 3d and THREE Pounds in the last week! A few people have mentioned that my belly looked bigger (including my husband and Mom). Let's hope that for next week I can tell you how much I lost from delivering! lol

How are you ladies doing with your losses / gains??

Well I just got off work so I haven't weighed today, but yesterday I was 211.5 and I started at 220/222 depending on the scale.  So I say I am still down 8.5 lbs.  Not bad for 15+weeks.  They did put me on phenergan b/c I dry heave all the time.  I am one of the unlucky that don't vomit d/t RNY.  I just dry heave so much that my spotting increases so they want me take the meds.  I am hoping to only gain 15lbs, but we will see.

Wow, you are doing awesome. I wish I was like most of the RNY patients on here and loose weight. I had lapband and I have not gained much but I still had weight to loose. Oh well :)

A lot of that three pounds is water weight and the baby! So, you will probably be one of the lucky ones that come out weighing less than when you got pregnant :)

I know you are so anxious to meet your little one!!

I've lost 20lbs so far.  30 more to go.  I was told not to step on a scale until 6 weeks post baby, but I dont listen haha

Up to 198 this morning. I am not excited to see 200 again, but it's inevitable since I have 10.5 weeks to go. I am hoping to stay under 220, but I guess we'll see how that goes. It's all worth it for my little girl.

Liz, 26 pounds is sooooooo good! You're going to lose a lot of that soon (0:

Liz I wouldnt worry too much, after baby is here u will lose at least most of it if not all +... I lost 45 lbs already in 11 days and I still have water weight on me...

I still wanna do weigh day even though I'm not prego anymore... My last month of being prego I gained 20lbs knocked me up to 366lbs and 11 days later I weigh 321... I am 2 lbs away from a total loss of 200lbs... I am so excited.

You're funny Liz !  I pray that I can do as well as you as far as "weight gain"  is concerned etc.  I am sure that all or most of your gain is going to drop right off - probably even more if you are going to BF.

Many Blessings to you,

Don't worry about that weight...you've done great.  Pre-WLS, I gained about 16 pounds w/my son. He was 9 lb 12 oz, and a week after I had him, I was back where I started (which was still way more than I wanted...but at least I didn't gain/maintain a lot of weight gain).  You're within the perfectly 'normal' weight gain for a pg woman!

Now that you went and skipped my Sunday prediction, I'll have to pick a new date for you. 

(think Jeopardy music)

I'm going for Thursday now!  Go serve the eviction notice so that the little one gets the message!

lol Notice Served!!!

I am sure that the weight will go away quickly. I am not really worried about it - I was just shocked to see a 3 pound gain this week. It has been warmer and more humid here so I am sure a lot of it is water.
