Nov 14, 2011
I have an appt tomorrow morning and I get swabbed for Strep B...praying that it comes back negative. And I also think that he will be checking my cervix to see if I am dialated at all. I have been having contractions every blue moon for the past couple of days, and Silas is moving and hiccupping more than ever! He is ready to bust outta there!!
I, and my family, are hoping that he decided to come on Thanksgiving weekend. I will be just shy of 39 weeks and everybody will be here! My mom told me to get some walking shoes cuz we are gonna walk him out! LOL! We are so excited!
Here is a pic of us at 9 months pregnant....my belly isnt that big, but I know my baby is chunky and healthy so thats all that matters!! :)
WE'RE HAVING A BOY!!!!

My mom is WAY excited about her first grandchild! She has bought him so many things already! A HUGE bag of clothes and diapers, and his crib bedding. LOL and I know she is not done yet! I feel him kick me all the time! I swear my son will end up playing soccer with the moves he makes! And this morning I was actually able to feel him moving above my belly button. He rolled and then I pushed on that spot and he shifted to a weird position! I felt lots of pressure so I think he was chillin on one of my organs. LOL! My heart is bursting with the love I have for my son. I would die for him already and I havent even met him yet!! Only 19 more weeks to go! Thanks for reading!! :)
Here is a 5 month pic!!
3 months pregnant!!

1 YEAR OUT!! BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE!! <3
Apr 05, 2011
I weighed 291lbs, and I was happy! BUT...being only 23 I had high blood pressure, my knee hurt on occasion, I was very uncomfortable in my skin, and (the BIGGEST issue for me) I did not ovulate which meant no kids for me. My main reason for surgery was having kids, as most of you all know.
For the first month I HATED the decision I made having surgery! I wished I could turn the hands of time and change it. I was depressed, and wanted to eat like I used to, and I was overwhelmed by the amount of vitamins and water I had to take.....but then I got the hang of my routine and I started to think this gastric bypass thing was okay after all.
Fast foward ONE YEAR and I would do everything over and over again!! I love my new life...I have made my personal goal of 170 (121lbs lost), my blood pressure is normal nowadays, I am very confident in myself, no achy pains, and the biggest acheivement of them all.........
I AM PREGNANT!!!!
I started ovulating about a month after surgery, and it was very hard not to make good use of my eggs every month. But we took precautions, and waited til it was 'legal' to have a baby! God is so good, they told my husband that he was infertile, and now I sit here carrying his baby.
Gastric bypass made all my dreams come true, I recommend it to any and everybody!!
Thanks for reading!
11 months out! Still loving it!!
Mar 06, 2011
So as of this past Saturday I am 11 months post-op. I really can't believe the time flew as fast as it did!! This morning I weighed 173, which is 118 pounds lost for me! WOW!!! I went to see my parents this weekend and they were both saying how small I am! I am only 3 pounds away from weighing as much as my mom. And in my opinion she is SMALL! My waist size is 35 1/2 inches, when I started off at 48. I am still amazed. My first goal was 170, but I'm thinking now that I wanna hit 160. We will see!
Now I am by no means perfect. I do have my moments where I eat like I shouldnt. I don't dump at all, and thats bitter sweet. If I want something sweet then I eat it. BUT on the flip side sometimes I go overboard. I stopped exercising for like a month or two and I honestly believe thats why I havent been losing as fast as I was. But I started exercising again last monday and I feel great! I have an OH friend who had the DS that I am working with on getting off my last few pounds. I thank God for her because our little challenges (like less than 70g of carbs a day, or walk so many miles a week) has really helped me get back on track. I forgot how good it feels to eat right and exercise! In the week that I have been eat good, and exercising I have lost 3lbs. So I know my tool still works, its just a matter of using it right. So next month will be a year, and hubby and I are gonna get busy trying to produce a family! I have waited forever for this! Please keep us in your prayers that God will bless us despite our infertiliy issue. I know he will, its just a matter of me being PATIENT!! Which I am not....so please pray for us!
10 months gone! Yay!

9 months and 115 pounds gone!!
Jan 05, 2011
Hello all! So today is my 9 month surgiversary and I have lost a total of 115lbs! Started at 291 and today I weighed 176. I am SOOOO lovin it! I wear a size 12 pants with a Large shirt. I am glad that even though I have lost a whole person, I still have my boobies! They have definitely shrunk though. They went from a 42H to a 38DDD. My husband is happy also! :) I actually feel like a normal person nowadays. I dont think now that people are looking at me thinking 'Dang she big!'....If I never lost another pound I would be satisfied. My goal was never to be skinny, but healthy. And I am that now.
I am still very sad about the recent news we got concerning our future family. My husband was told he has a low sperm count and that was a blow to my heart but after all of the replies I got from my OH friends I feel hopeful that we still have a good chance! Well thats my update for now. Sometimes I forget that I had surgery! But all the pills I take is a constant reminder! LOL!
8 months! Minus 108 pounds!
