has anyone had surgery then had a child and made it back to goal weight? I'm kinda stressing that my pregnacy came at a time when i was trying to take of the 20lbs that i put back on. 170 is the best weight for me but im now 215 at 5 months prego and that 170 looks so far away.

Don't worry after the baby comes you can get back to where you were. The main thing is to remember to to take care of you and the baby now. Eat right and exercise and you should do fine. I wish you an easy pregnancy and a happy healthy baby. You can do this.

Congrats on the baby, when are you due?

Keep in touch with an experienced nutritionist and control your diet closely.
Following some of the dietary guidelines for preganant diabetic patients can help.
Specifically, add 150 kcals to your own daily dietary needs the first half of your pregnancy, add 350 kcals the latter half, and add 600 kcals while breast feeding. Drop those added calories as soon as you don't need them, because if you don't, that will be added calories on you.
Also, regular exercise is necessary, to help control your weight, and to keep you fit for a safe and easy delivery.

We've had several members who's had babies, but we don't see them around much any more, I guess they all are busy with their new family, which I'm happy for them, but just a wee bit sad, because we can't share the joy.

Its easy for me to say since I've never been pregnant, but it seems to me that many people while pregnant see it as free reign to eat saying "I'm eating for 2!" Well, sure, but one of the two only takes 150-350 caleries per day.

Stick to the pouch rules! Talk to your nutritionist!
