Amber's Journey
posted on 2/5/11 8:14 pm
Hello friends,

I can't believe I am scheduled or was scheduled for bariatric surgery this Feb 22nd, 2011. Well, the surgeons nurse thought it wasn't a good plan with me expecting a baby =0 go figure. I am seven weeks today, and so very happy. The baby is the size of a blueberry and I saw its heartbeat last week by ultrasound. This is a beautiful detour to my plan. I am so happy to be a mama again yet I am scared to death because we lost our last pregnancy about a year and a half ago. My husband currently lives in Mexico and it isn't so easy with being so tired and taking care of our 17, 11 and 8 year old children. I am happier than words can say and hope to keep up to date with my weight loss group friends. Don't worry, I am staying focused, attending weekly nutrition appointments, weighing in (and staying now for meetings) at TOPS (take off pounds sensibly) and eating very healthy. I plan to continue to this and gain little weight (20-25lbs) versus my previous 50 plus. I am only supposed to gain 10-15 according to the latest research and doctors advice but I think my goal is realistic. I think if I don't gain like doctor said during first trimester and gain half to a pound a week after wards I should be fine. I've already gained 2 lbs of that goal =) My babies are always 9 pounds and up. Oh, and this time, before pregnancy I am pre-diabetic, oh no! Keep me in your thoughts and prayers and please keep me updated on your progress, it keeps me motivated!

Amber
