Wow, I've been busy. I hate it when I miss stuff.

Angela, congrats again! I'm happy for you. So far (I'm almost 31 weeks done) I have gained 5 lbs total. I was worried about it, but my Dr. says that she's measuring and weighing in perfectly for her term at 3 lbs 5 oz as of last Monday. I try to eat six times per day, making good choices. The good thing is that my craving is fruit....fruit.....fruit. So, my Dr. says that is helping with the weight gain, or lack there of. With my son (19 years ago & 8 lbs 9 oz) I gained 68 lbs. But, I craved refried beans and ice cream sandwiches. With my daughter (17 years ago & 9 lbs 8 oz) I gained 26 lbs. But, I craved fruit with her also. So, I really think that if you continue to make good choices, you will do just fine. I understand though. My biggest fear was to over eat during this pregnancy and ruin everything I have worked so hard for.

Brenda, take care and hang in there.

Felicia, I spotted during this pregnancy for the first three months. The Dr.'s told us the same thing they are telling you guys. Just take it easy physically and keep taking care of your body nutritionally. You should be fine.

Jeanie, come to the TT water and take a drink. It's soooooo tasty!

I'm looking forward to seeing all of you at the shower!

Stacie,
I have not known for very long that you are with child, but please know that I am very excited to hear about yours and your husband's impending miracle baby! This little one will be not have to know the harsh reality of an MO childhood and I think you will be wonderful loving parents. Here's to a complication free life experienced. It's hard work, and you'll never have another carefree sleep in your life. But such noble work! Michelle and I wish you all the best--we both love the smell of baby-heads....

And JEANIE!! I am sooooo excited for you!! I know you have wanted this for a while, and here you are! Your youngin can play with Flea's and all the other S/P GBS Babies! There's a real crop coming up. Big hugs to you both!

Do you know something I don't??

I'm not preggers YET. I haven't drank the water but I'm thinking about it.

Right now we are just getting in the well needed practice that we need.

It is so exciting whenever I hear about a gastric bypass patient that is pregnant! Pre-surgery, the fear of never being able to be a mom was bigger than any other fear.

I am now 5 years post-op and have a wonderful 3 year old son (7lbs 4oz) and two beautiful twin infant daughters (about 4.5 pounds each).

There is SO MUCH I would love to tell you. Here are some random things:

- Discuss the "sugar test" with your OB. This is a test to check for gestational diabetes. I never took this with either pregnancy, but I had to be treated as if I had diabetes....checking blood sugar, etc. Never came close to having blood sugar issues.

- My biggest concern was consuming enough vitamins/protein/etc. to ensure my baby/babies were getting enough to develop correctly. With my twins I could hardly keep anything down, let alone vitamins. I found some that I could finally take. Check out my gastric bypass website for all the details.

- I never had any problems with my incision. Not sure if you had an incision or laparascopic, but it was a big concern to me that turned out to be of no concern.

- I am now the mom that I always feared that I could never be at 300 pounds. I hope that you can experience half of the joy that I have now that I am a mom. Good luck!
