8 1/2 months post op

It has been a while since I posted anything.  Life has gotten exceptionally busy.  I have gone back to work full time, while maintaining my business on the side. I found out that I am pregnant.  Went to New York OH conference, had a phenomenal time.

I am now down 141.1 lbs.  Hoping to get under 200 by my 40th bday which is in like 6 weeks, so I think it is doable.

Here are some photos from our trip to New York.

You look awesome   It's amazing how busy life can get eh? It's been crazy busy for me also lately...Glad you're doing well and CONGRATS on the pregnancy  Hope the whole pregnancy goes smooth for you...when is your due date?

Thanks Jen, yes life sure does get busy.  So far so good on the pregnancy road.  My due date is June 1st 2012. 

How are you doing with it all?

I am doing great had my 3 month dietician yesterday and am down 78lbs as of today! I was told I need to try and eat more and take B1 as my level was low but other than that I was doing well!
I am so glad I made this life change and would do it all over again in a heart beat,,,,this second chance at life is awesome  I have so much more energy, I feel great, and the NSV's are awesome!!!!

Wow Traci. You are looking amazing. I'm so glad to hear that you had a good time in NYC. I really wish that I had taken the time and gone.  Congratulations of your pregnancy; hope that all continues to go smoothly for you.

Busy happens. Just remember to stop and smell the roses along the way. Keep up the good work and I wish you continued success on your journey.

Thanks Moselle.  If you have a chance to go to another OH event, I highly recommend it.  It was so informative, met a ton of new people, had such a great time.

Yes I will definitely stop and smell the roses.

Wow you have so much going on!  Good for you.

You look fabulous!

wow you look fantastic !!!
Congrats on the baby news :)

 I'm curious about the pregnancy and any special vitamin requirements that you have. I know they don't recommend that we become pregnant for 2 years after surgery. Do you have to do anything special if you get pregnant before then...vitamins, iron infusions, extra visits to the doctor or blood work? Is it okay to still lose weight or is the doctor trying to get you to just maintain your weight?

I have been prescribed pregvit which is a pregnancy mutlti vitamin,  I go and see the dietician, sw and nurse every month now. As well as have my blood work done every month.  I was told to increase my calorie intake another 300 to 500 per day.  They do not want me to lose weight.  I still am losing but at a much slower rate.

Had my ultrasound everything looks good.
