4w2d pregnant with my first (18 months after RNY)
Hey everyone!
My hubby and I got some exciting news about a week ago. We are officially pregnant with our first and due Sept. 28, 2012! ;-) I just hit 18 months post op, and while I was hoping to lose the last 10-15 pounds of weight, I am so excited. I am by far healthier now than I was at 333 pounds and on tons of meds! I am a little nervous about meeting my calorie expectations, but I found that I am hungry now, where I wasn't before so it is getting easier. A little nervous about gaining weight, but I realize this is different than being just fat. I am hoping to gain around 15 pounds, which the doc said was a good and reasonable goal. So, just sharing my good news with everyone! This has been quite the ride with weight loss, and now onto another roller coaster ;-)
Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as we are only a little over 4 weeks and still in the danger zone. Miscarrying is my worst fear and this baby is so very wanted!!!!! Thanks friends!
I understand your concerns about miscarrying I think every pregnant women goes through that. Thats a sign that you already love your baby. Try not to let it consume you leave it in Gods hands Im sure he chose great parents for the best gift ever to be received.
You will have to post along the way so we know how you're doing.
Congrats and lots of prayers your way.
Nothing tastes as good as skinny will feel. 
I had both babies before WLS, but I lost weight the first two trimesters with both kids, and kept my weight gain to the last four months, and ended up gaining 15 pounds during that time. They both came out healthy and reasonably sized
Obviously under the care of the OB, but she approved too. Sounds like your plan is totally reasonable, and if you plan to nurse, the weight does come off a bit easier after delivery too!You'll do great! I wish you the best!
