IT'S BEEN 1 YEAR AND 4 MONTHS SINCE MY GASTRIC. AND I'M OR WAS DOWN A TOTAL OF 112 POUNDS BUT I HAVE GAINED A TOTAL OF 7 POUNDS WITH MY PREGNANCY AND IT'S ALL BABY WEIGHT. I TRY TO EAT WELL. LOTS OF FRUIT AND VEGGIES EAT LOTS OF SMALL PORTIONS. AND NO SODA AND TRY TO STAY AWAY FROM THE JUNK FOOD. I AM 7 1/2 MONTHS PREGNANT AND EVERYTHING IS A GOOD AS IT CAN BE. NO CONPLICATIONS DUE TO THE GASTRIC AND ME BEING PREGNANT. THE ONLY THING THAT IS DIFFERENT IS THAT SOME ANTI-BIOTICS HAVE TO BE GIVEN TO ME THREW IVS BECAUSE MY STOMACH DOES NOT DIGEST THE CAPSULS. BUT OTHER THAN THAT ALL THE OTHER LABS LIKE MY BLOOD WORK FOR MY IORN LEAVELS AND TIGGERS AND OTHER IMPORTANT LABS ARE NORMAL. MY FAMILY IS SO EXCITED FOR THE NEW ADDITION. NOW MY KIDS ARE PREPARING FOR THE BABY SHOWER.

IT'S A GIRL!!! Today I'm 20 weeks pregnant. And so far I have been healthy I drink my prenaital with iron and folic acid vitamines, calcium daily and my B-12 weekly. My Dr. checks my labs very often to be on top of the most recent changes. And everything knock on wood is great and we are doing good. But due to the blood transfusion that I had when I got my WLS 1 year and 2 months ago. My OBGYN has put me on high risk. Due to the anti-bodies that my blood has formed. But my specialist is monituring me and doing ultrasounds every 2 weeks to see the babies growth and that she is developing healthy and normal. And everything is GREAT right now!!! No more morning sickness. So far I have gained 1 pound should have been at least 12 pounds by now. But it's all belly and my body still is shrinking. I am eating healthy and not eating junk. I eat my small portions about 6 times a day with alot of water and a lot of fruit. 20 more weeks to go !!!!!

Comment by ladama74 on Mar 22, 2007 at 05:41pm IM 11 MONTHS POST OP. I HAVE LOST A TOTAL OF 120 LBS. AND NOW IM PREGNANT. IM A LITTLE WORRIED BECAUSE OF ALL THE MEDICAL COMPLICATIONS THAT COULD COME WITH THE PREGNANCY. SO FAR SO GOOD...BUT I DON'T KNOW LATER ON IN MY PREGNANCY. I ALREADY HAVE TWO CHILDREN DAUGHTER 12 AND SON 13. MAN I THOUGHT I WAS DONE. BUT THE FUNNY THING IS HOW I FOUND OUT THAT I WAS EXPECTING. MY TUBAL LIGATION SURGERY WAS SUPOSE TO BE ON FEB. 21, 2007 AND THE NIGHT B4 MY OBGYN CALLS ME TO TELL ME THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE PROSPONED ABOUT 9 MONTHS BECAUSE I WAS PREGNANT. I DIDN'T KNOW WEATHER TO LAUGH OR CRY. I THOUGHT I WAS SO DONE WITH CHILDREN. (NOT) BUT LIKE I SAID IM EXCITED BUT WORRIED AT THE SAME TIME. ILL KEEP YOU POSTED!
