Well just like my subject line.....7.5 months post op VSG, down 100lbs  25 to goal
period is/was a couple days late, took a test and poof...its positive, faint...but positive.
Still in contact with our fertility clinic (ttc for years before WLS) and they are sending me for bloodwork in the morning.
Happy, scared & nervous....we had a miscarriage 3 years ago really early at 5 weeks....i'm terrified it'll happen again...but i'm hopeful at 125lbs lighter and eating WAY healthier, my body will be more accepting.

As I've been reading i've learned an extra 300cal is needed during pregnancy, is that right from the beginning or gradually added?
i'm around 900-1000cal a day now, 80-100 protein easily, i have little to no food issues.
I have a protein shake everymorning and then about 2 hours later have a yogurt or something more substantial...can i still have my protein shakes? 

I'll be around gathering lots of info in the upcoming months i'm sure
happy to be a part!

Congrats.  I'm 9 months post op tomorrow and will be 20 weeks Thursday with identical twins.  So not planned but it happened and I'm happy. 

Just make sure to get protein and water.  Not sure if you will be considered high risk, I am since I will be 40 in less than a month, my RNY and being pregnant with twins.

:)
