30 wks Preggo : Almost 4 Years Out : Picture Whoring :)
So the important stuff...
Short Story: Started 272lbs... Had the VSG with Dr. Robert Davis.. Changed my life.. Got to goal weight in less than a year.... Spiralled out of control with drugs and sex and attention from being newly thin.... Snorted enough coke to send kids to school in Peru for years...... Got clean, sober.. was still around 160lbs after sobriety.... Had two baby losses in a row... put on about 25-30 with each loss between the depression and actual weight gain.....
I started this pregnancy at 212.. I'm currently 240..... 30 weeks in. No gestational diabetes.. no issues at all with the baby.... This one will be my takehome baby..
If you read my older posts when I still frequented the board.. before the addiction issue.. my addiction from working out.... and being a nazi for fitness and calorie counting...
I have a feeling I'm gonna be that way after the baby.
My only regret about any of this is that I didn't ask Dr. Robert to go smaller than a 40bougie..... I can eat a full plate of food again.. :( And that doesn't make me happy.... If the baby is being carried high that day, It's like I'm about 6mos out again... but if he drops, I can eat an entire plate of food..

I cannot WAIT to get back into couch to 5k.. and running again... and cannot wait to be a happy/healthy mother.
Getting close to my starting weight with pregnancy has been scary.. But I will deal with it all after a happy/healthy baby has arrived...

Just wondering if you had your baby yet? I saw an old post of yours and was wondering how you're doing NOW. I hope you are happy and healthy and well!
