I just need to vent/rant/w.e
A year ago I under went a vertical gastric sleeve surgery. Fast forward just under 7 months and I found out I was pregnant with my first child. Here I am at six months freaking out. Before I had the surgery I was told pregnancy was going to be hard, I have PCOS, and my ovaries were not releasing eggs. I was on b/c but on a dose that was suitable for my body pre-surgery. I had lost 90lbs and was a week away from seeing my gyno to be updated on new pills when I found out. I always wanted to be a mom, it was my number one dream. My husband and I knew that it wasn't going to be easy, and then when I had the surgery and was told that even to start thinking of babies we needed to wait at least 18months, guess someone else had other plans. I am beyond excited to get to meet my son In June, but am scared as all hell about gaining weight, and being able to lose it after he arrives. So far I've gained 15lbs. I'm noticing my eating has changed which is nerve racking. When you have a vsg, your portions are small, and though they started off the same I feel that I have begun to stretch out my stomach and terrified of what that may do. I can't seem to find anything online about woman and how they have handled life with a Bariatric surgery, and what life was like after they gave birth. I'm truly hoping that I'm not causing damage to my stomach, but I also will not deprive my baby of food either...
