Hello everyone,I had a beautiful baby girl on 1-17-09 after a whole night of laboring and an emergency C-section the next morning. I went almost 2 weeks over due,because I think the doctor was off on the date from the beginning. I had no complications until the end. My water became very low. I think my body was dehydrated and it absorbed the water in the sac right at the end. That's why the doctors decided to induce me..otherwise they would of let me stay pregnant another week. I was ready ..believe me. I wanted a healthy baby and my body back. I only gained about 10 pounds. I started at 243 and ended at 253.
I first lost 10 pounds in the first month though. After giving birth I went to 225 and now I am 230 because I haven't started eating like I should. I've given myself 2 months to adjust to motherhood and then I will start back aggressively attacking my eating habits and exercise. I want to lose 10 pounds a month until November of this year..which will be 2 years post op. My goal from the beginning was to lose enough to get to a size 12, lower my bp, and eliminate diabetes from my health. I've lowered my bp and eliminated diabetes so far...so a size 12 is calling my name.
I was able for the first time ever to buy a size 16 dress from JCpenny in the misses. I almost flipped out. So, I am not pressuring myself..just going with the flow and listening to my body.
I will at 2 years post op ask my doctor to do an upper GI to make sure everything is ok. Hopefully, by then I will have better insurance to cover everything..because I didn't realize how much I would be responsible for once insurance kicked in for the surgery.
I am falling more in love with my daughter everyday!! That's it for now.
