Topic: RE: Pregnancy post RNY questions

I am also considering baby #3 (this one being my first post-op).  L2D, were you at goal weight when you got pregnant?  I'm just wondering and also concerned about weight gain.  It was good to read that you only gained 24 pounds.  I gained 50 with my first 2, so 24 would be fabulous!

Topic: RE: Weight gain mind issues during pregnancy...

I went through the same thing with my first kid now I'm preg with my second you can't help but feel like omg I'm going to get back there again   But some how our bodies know what they r doing.  When I was preg with my first it seemed like I can eat and eat. So I split my meal that I would eat into even smaller portions and ate through out the day and healthy snack options   So that helped me with the  mind set of why can I eat so much.  I would get so sad that clothes didn't fit anymore to the point were my husband cleaned my closet out and the only thing was left was dresses which really helped me  plus it was summer time.  I wish you the best with the rest of your pregnancy

Topic: Weight gain mind issues during pregnancy...

Updated my blog about my mind issues I'm having about gaining weight during pregnancy after 3+ years of being "smaller" after RNY surgery. Hoping some can relate and give advice!

Topic: Saying I'm preg

Ok so I invited my in laws out for breakfast to tell them I'm preg but when it got there they invited my husband sister and her husband and  my aunt in law.  Ok so before we get to the table I noticed that my sister in law pulled her mom aside then pulled her dad aside and told them she was preg.  So my breakfast to tell them I was preg became her breakfast that she is preg.  Me being me I think everyone needs their time to shine when something amazing is happening. So my question is when do I tell them I'm preg without raining on her shine?

Hello,

 

I had my gastric bypass 12/2009.  And just found out two days ago I am pregnant!  I am very excited.  I do not have any answers to help you, but i am curious to know what others did too!  I wish you the best!

Topic: Anyone get pregnant 5 years out?

I was 167 when I got pregnant and delivered at 207. Lost 20 pounds after delivery and now have been stuck at 190. I didn't have gastric bypass to be obese again! I'm 26 and have plenty of life to live and hopefully more pregnancies to have. :( I'm now realizing my real issue with food is back. I cannot trust it. My weight is beyond out of control. I try to make healthy choices but it seems as soon as I wake up in the morning it's bad choice after bad choice in excess. I keep eating because I'm upset at my original choice.i believe I eat out of boredom. I'm to the point at  190 pounds that I cannot look in the mirror. I'm thankful I'm at the end of pumping so I can indulge in diet pills and eliminating food from my life.  I did not have gastric bypass surgery 5.5 years ago to fail now. I've got to figure this out!!help!

Topic: RE: PlastiBell circ?

I found this while doing a search on plastibells, and I happen to be a wls patient. I'm so glad I didn't cut my son. I didn't have to do any of the things mentioned above. He rarely, if ever peed on me. The reason is because his glans is covered by foreskin and doesn't trigger the urine reaction. I also never had to pull back the skin to keep it from reattaching because his skin is fused to his glans. Lastly I never had to put a carcinogen like Vaseline on an open wound. Ladies, if any of you are still having babies, please reconsider circumcision. Only 38% of American boys are being cut now. Only 18% of the world is cut. Let your son make his own decisions regarding his penis.

Topic: I'm pregnant WOO HOO...

Never thought it would happen this quickly.  I am 7 years post op but have had an IUD.  Got it removed on April 3rd and conceived on April 26th. LOL  My question is....any special supplements you had to not take or take more of?  Also, did you end up having to have a C-section or anything else?  I had a tummy tuck and wondered what this would all entail.
