I am in shock!

Hi guys..

I so did not think I would be on this forum just yet! So I think I am pregnant. O.o   3 pee sticks say I am. I am going to the lab this afternoon to get my HCG level.  I am a year to the day post op from the gastric sleeve. Not quite at goal. Guess that's out the window for now! ^.^   Like many of us, I got the surgery so I could one day get pregnant and be healthy. Just didn't expect that day to be today! 


Are there any other sleevers around who is preggers? Anyone who is due around 6-5-11 ish? Or anyone who wants to share some wisdom!? This would be my first pregnancy (if I am actually pregnant!)

HW:260+ SW: 248 Pre-Preg 180 Post-Preg Starting Wt: 225 Current PP wt: 195 GW: 170ish.

Grats! 3 tests can't wrong.

I also have a sleeve but found out I was pregnant 9 months post-op. It was a huge shock since I had an IUD in place since my twins were born and those are supposed to be 99.9% effective...

I was also almost at goal (330 SW, lost 130 lbs @ 9 months. GW of 180) and so far I've only gained 2 lbs at almost 20 weeks pregnant. Everything is looking good so far and baby is growing great and VERY active (he likes to kick my bladder all night long...) .
Eating has been a challenge since I'm never hungry. I basically force myself to eat something every 2 hours, even if it's just cheese and crackers or veggies and hummus.

Be sure to update us after your HCG bloodwork!

Welcome! I am due May 22. Keep your protien up, and add complex carbs to your diet now. Pick up the most recent copy of "What to Expect" since there is a little info in there on eating well after WLS. Best of luck to you!

I just got back from the lab. My HCG is consistent with being about 5wks preggers! So I really am pregnant! Thanks everyone for the welcome and good wishes! I am so excited/freaked!

 Hey Pretty Pixie Girl!!! I did not have the Gastric Sleeve..but I did have the RNY. I too had the surgery  to lose weight and be at a normal weight and to be able to start a family. I to was the same as you. I had my surgery June 17, 2009. I found out I was pregnant June 21, 2010. Literally a year after my surgery LOL. I have not meet my goal weight yet either. I am not worried though cause I am almost halfway there and have not gained a pound yet. I am doing good and praying that I do not gain to much weight and that I can get to my goal weight after I have the baby. 

Congrats!!!
