OK I CANT SLEEP.

THIS MORNING I HAD TO GO TO THE BATHROOM AND DECIDED TO TAKE A PREGNANCY TEST BECAUSE I HAVE NO SIGNS AT ALL OF GETTING MY PERIOD AND IT WAS DUE TODAY AND USUALLY I ALWAYS HAVE SOME SORT OF SIGN THAT TOM IS ON ITS WAY SO I THOUGHT IT WAS ODD I HAD NONE. ANYWAYS I TAKE THE TEST AND IT SHOWS IM PREGNANT

. OF COURSE IM HAPPY, NERVOUS AND EVERYTHING ELSE. BUT MY SURGEON REALLY WANTED ME TO START TRYING AFTER 18 MONTHS OF MY SURGERY DATE BUT THEN WHEN I SPOKE TO HIM LIKE 2 MONTHS AGO AND TOLD HIM I WAS PLANNING AND WANTED HIS OPINION BECAUSE I REALLY DIDNT WANT TO WAIT 18 MONTHS BECAUSE OF MY AGE SO HE SAID IT WOULD BE FINE TO START TRYING IN JULY. SO I SAID THAT WAS REASONABLE. BUT TO MY SURPRISE IM PREGNANT TODAY. LOL.

ANYWAYS IM GLAD I FOUND OUT BECAUSE NOW I HAVE TO CANCEL MY KNEE SURGERY WHICH WAS SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 2. FUNNY BECAUSE I WAS SUPPOSE TO HAVE IT DONE THIS PAST THUR. BUT 2 WKS AGO I HAD CHANGED THE DATE BECAUSE I HAD A WEIRD FEELING BECAUSE I KNEW THAT MY DH AND I HAD SCREWED UP THIS MONTH ON BEING CAREFUL SO AS A PRECAUTION I DIDNT WANT TO GO THRU PREOP TESTS IF I WERE PREG BECAUSE ONE OF THOSE TESTS ARE AN XRAY AND THATS A NO NO IF YOUR PREGNANT SO THANK GOD I FOLLOWED MY GUT ON THIS EVEN THOUGH I REALLY THOUGHT I WOULDNT BE PREGNAN BUT FIGURED JUST IN CASE.

ANYWAYS I JUST HAVE SOOOOOOOOOO MANY QUESTIONS AND DONT KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN. OF COURSE I WILL CALL MY OBGYN DOC ON MONDAY AND MAKE AN APPT TO SEE HIM. BUT FOR NOW MY MIND IS GOING CRAZY. ITS MY 2ND PREGNANCY SO ITS NOT LIKE I HAVENT BEEN PREG B4 BUT IT IS THE FIRST TIME BEING PREG SINCE MY WLS SO NOW THIS IS A WHOLE NEW GAME.

GOD PLEASE DONT TELL ME I HAVE TO GIVE UP MY CRYSTAL LITE. I REALLY DONT LIKE ANYTING ELSE AT ALL. NOT EVEN PLAIN WATER. UH OH
AND I FEEL SO LOST ON HOW TO EAT. I KNOW HAD ASKED DOC A WHILE AGO WHEN I WAS THINKING ABOUT GETTING PREG FOR THIS SUMMER. BUT HOW THE HELL DO I EAT MORE?
IS THERE SOMTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW OR CHANGE AS WELL WHEN IT COMES TO BEING PREG AND HAVING WLS
ALSO I HAD FROZE MY MEMBERSHIP AT THE GYM BECAUSE I KNEW I WAS GETTING THIS KNEE SURGERY. NOW I CANT WORK OUT LIKE ON THE TREAD MILL AND STUFF BUT ON MY GOOD DAYS I CAN DO THE ELIPTICAL AND OF COURSE I WOULD LOVE TO STILL DO WEIGHTS. BUT IF I WORKOUT I WOULD BE BURNING CALORIES, CAN I AFFORD DO BURN CALORIES GIVEN THE WAY I EAT NOW. NO I DONT WANT TO WORK OUT AND LOSE WT OFCOURSE NOT BUT I STILL WANT TO WORK OUT TO FIRM UP. OR CAN I? I KNOW MOST PREG WOMAN CAN. BUT CAN I AFFORD IT
ALSO I KNOW MY DOC HAD SAID IN THE PAST THAT IF I WERE TO BECOME PREG EVEN IN JULY I MIGHT STILL LOSE WT AND NOT BE ALARMED BUT THAT WAS A WHILE AGO HE TOLD ME THAT WHEN WE WERE JUST TALKING AND I WAS PRETTY NEW OUT AND JUST HAD QUES ABOUT THIS SURGERY. AND I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD SOME WOMAN STILL LOSE WT WHILE THEY WERE PREG. INFACT WHEN I WAS PREG WITH MY FIRST I LOST 30LBS. BUT I WAS ALOT HEAVIER THEN. I KNOW MY DOC WILL TELL ME BUT WHAT THE HELL IS SAFE TO CONSIDER NOW. DONT GET ME WRONG IM LOOKING TO MAINTAIN NOW (JUST WHILE IM PREG AND THEN LOSE AGAIN AFTER THE BABY) SO OF COURSE I WILL BE NERVOUS IF I LOSE TOO MUCH WT

I HAD SO MANY QUESTIONS IN MY HEAD EARLIER FOR DOC AND NOW I CANT THINK OF THEM. UGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH

.

I GUESS ALOT OF THE SUGAR FREE ITEMS I HAVE BEEN EATING AND DRINKING I KNOW HAVE TO THINK 2X. UGGHHH

I KNOW WHEN I WAS PREG THE FIRST TIME I REMEMBER BEING TOLD IT WAS OK TO DO SPLENDA ESP BECAUSE I HAD GESTATIONAL DIABETES.

OH HERES AN OTHER QUES I KNOW IM NOT SUPPOSE TO HAVE CAFFINE WHILE IM PREG BUT IS IT OK TO HAVE AT LEAST MY ACHIEVE ONE PROTEIN DRINKS. THEY DO HAVE CAFFINE. BUT JUST ONE A DAY OR EVERY OTHER DAY PLEASE!!! I LOVE THAT STUFF. IM SO ADDICTED.

ALSO FOR ALL OF YOU WOMAN OUT THERE BE VERY CAREFUL. MY DH AND I WERE DOING SAFE SEX THIS WHOLE TIME SINCE MY WLS SURGERY AND ONLY ONE TIME THIS MONTH WE DIDNT. SO WHEN THEY SAY WE ARE FERTILE THEY ARE NOT KIDDING. BECAUSE OF MY PAST I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO TAKE US A WHILE TO BECOME PREGNANT. BOY WAS I WRONG.

SO BE CAREFUL

Congratulations!!!

True, a bit early, but you have lost the majority of your excess weight, so you should be fine so long as you are in good professional hands and stick to their instructions.
Make sure you let your surgeon know ASAP, as well as setting up the appt with your gyno. Also make sure you can get a good nutritionist who is experienced both wit WLS and pregnancies, to help you out with the nutritional requirements and your food intake, inculding how to supplement when you can't eat what you need.
In any case, get yourself a team of experienced professionals, and you should have a safe pregancy, and a cute baby.
