You will lose weight and it doesn't take longbefore you wonder where it went. Try fo around 4000 calories daily and more if you can. I lost 70 lbs mainly because of them taking my teeth and can't seem to put any back on. Eat and keep a positive attitude going thru this with you. It helps or at least I still can laugh at myself and enjoy the life I have now. Good luck and post when the baby arrives.
