Proudly maintaining
Ok so I can't hold it in any longer 
I'm pregnant.
We found out on April fools day, and luckily I saw my bariatric team the next day. They are fine with it all, and the dietician is keeping in regular telephone contact and has given me plenty of advice on having a healthy pregnancy post op.
We were keeping it quiet as I have a very high miscarriage risk, but I'm finding it increasingly hard to keep my diary going without explaining why I'm suddenly doing lots of things differently.
For now, I have to maintain my current weight, so I am eating lots more lol. It's quite good fun
I went for an early scan on Wednesday, which put me at 4-5 weeks, which was a week earlier than we thought. I have to go back the week after next for another scan to look for a hearbeat. Until we get that anything could happen
Once we have a heartbeat at scan I'll be back on the flumpin heparin every day lol which is for my health problems, nothing to do with the bypass.
I wanted to share because I know there are a number of people who want to conceive post op, so hopefully I can show it is possible.
So if everyone can please keep their fingers, toes, eyes and knees firmly crossed that baby sticks in place, and if people could not mention it on facebook please as we've not gone public yet. Our parents know, but that's it.
