This is just my surgeon's opinion, so please take with a grain of salt. I waited to ask until I was a year out, but he said since I had hit my goal and was stable, he would've cleared me early. Took 3 months and got prego. Unfortunately, I thought my weight loss would stop once prego and it has not. I'm now on a high fat, high caloric diet to stop the weight loss. If you're doing ok calorie wise, (I was only getting 600 a day) I'm sure the dr could clear you. Also, the dr mentioned that VSG patients are cleared for pregnancy earlier than bypass patients but I can't remember why. Plus, with the PCOS it may take you some time to get knocked up (I hope it doesn't and you get a bun in the oven lickety split!)

It's awful. But the nutritionist was alarmed by how few calories I get in a day so drastic measures were needed. Anything for a healthy baby. : )

Thanks for all the replies! Today was ten weeks and baby looks good. But.....I've lost 13 pounds now and I don't really have 13 pounds to lose. My nutritionist has put me on a fatty diet. Literally. Milkshakes made with canned coconut milk, whole milk and half and half. Plus butter and whole eggs. My tummy hurts thinks thinking about it.

March 14. Seems like forever to go.

Just noticed I wrote lost instead of loss.

Thank you. I'm on bedrest to save the baby, but im still losing. No one seems concerned on my medical team about the weight loss.

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and am continuing to lose weight. At seven weeks I thought I was having a miscarriage, I passed the sac with the "stem " attached. Unfortunately, I have seen many miscarriages in patients I've transported. I went to dr to make sure the miscarriage was complete and I was surprised to find that I still had a healthy fetus and I had lost a twin (no idea I was having twins. My dr doesn't seem to be concerned about my weight loss which is about ten pounds in four weeks. I can help thinking that may have something to do with losing my baby. I know a fetus is a parasite and will take what it needs, but maybe two was too many?

I'm 15 months out and still get pain like that. I guess it's not unusual.

Hello! I gained 10 lbs back and I'm not happy. I'm going to the pouch diet and then the boot camp. Remind me, how far post op were you when you started fruits?

Thanks ladies! My dr is concerned since I still can only get in 700 calories a day. My sleeve is still super tight. I eat more than 2-3 oz and up it comes. Typically our military base will only start seeing you after 7 weeks or so but my PCM is concerned so she pushed through the consult. Plus I was so "plump" with my son that they had to do a vertical c section. Which also tip the scales towards high risk.

Hello all! I have a few questions. I just found out im prego (4 weeks along). I lost about 140 pounds in 14 months. My surgery date was 4/16/12. How did you keep up on eating. Sometimes I forget to eat all day. And were you considered high risk?

Oops I guess I forgot the part about with my first son I had a vertical csection. But thank you for all the kind words and support!

It used to be that there was NEVER anything cute in plus size. Now I fit into a lot of stuff but there was one dress I wanted soooooo bad, but literally my rib cage didn't fit. Never saw that one coming.

Decided to go to the thrift store. My thoughts before surgery? Curses to the plus size girls that bought every thing up. Now? Curses, rib cage!

*disclaimer- please withhold negative opinions, looking for advice, not judgement*. That being said, I'm 10 months out, down 115 lbs and looking to get knocked up. Based on having a gastric sleeve, those of you who are prego, are you considered to be high risk based on the surgery by your MD?
