Ms.P

Hi,

It has been months since I have last posted, shortly after my one year anniversary in which I discovered I was pregnant. At that time I weighed in at 204. The pregnancy went well. For months I hardly showed, people did not believe that I was far along as I said I was. I was slightly worried how the bypass would affect the pregnancy and the birth weight. Towards the end of the pregancy I was ravenous and found that I was eating constantly. I was afraid that I would gain excess weight because I could not stop eating. On November 2nd, my son, Michael was born four days beyond his due date. A whopping 9lbs 6.5 ozs and no I did not have gestational diabetes.

I am two weeks out from having the child and weigh 195. I am lighter now than when I first got pregnant. The ravenous cravings have gone away and for the first time in months last night I dumped (reminder, curtail sugar intake). The dumping was non existent when I was pregnant. I honsetly could eat anything without reaction. When I figured that out I pushed the limits to see what I could get away with. It is funny what hormones allow your body to do and to overcome. I am glad that the dumping has returned.

I have attached a photo of the "little guy". I just need to make sure that now that the cravings are gone that I keep my calorie intake up because I am breastfeeding. Now that the hunger has left I find that I am not nearly intaking the amount of calories that we both need. I find that I forget to eat because I am so busy tending to his needs.

Grats hon! What an amazing blessing. They do say that you lose your "baby weight" very quickly when youre breastfeeding so that should help too! Definitly remember to eat though!
