Hello!
I am looking for support and connections with those of you who are post bariatric surgery (sleeve, RNY, lapband) and/or pregnant. I had RNY 3/30/15. I am 5'0" and my goal weight is 125. I started my weight loss journey last January (2015) with a high weight of 251.2lbs. Before RNY I was down to 236.7 and my current weight is 137.3lbs.
I struggle to meet protein and water goals most days and rarely get to 1000 calories a day. I met with my bariatric team last week and am focusing on trying to get at least 1000 calories per day and hit my vitamins and waters daily, too.
I just found out I was pregnant yesterday (only 4.5 weeks along) and although I'm very excited about my pregnancy I wasn't supposed to get pregnant so soon after my surgery!
Looking forward to following you on your journeys! Please feel free to send me an invite:)
