I'm just curious what people have gained or what other doctors are recommending for weight gain during pregnancy?

Okay, 15 lbs seems a little more reasonable. Especially because I'm still technically obese, even after losing 140 lbs. Lol

Okay, so you are very new then. I saw my surgeon at my one year and he saw no reason to see me for another year, I wasn't pregnant then. I suppose if my ob sees a problem with my weight or baby I will see him if I need to. :-)

How far out from surgery are you? I'm about 14 months out and I'm almost 13 weeks. My ob said she wants me to gain 30 lbs but I don't know that she's had many wls patients. I haven't gained anything yet but I'm sure I will...just that 30 lbs seems like a lot.

Just wondering how many other sleeved mamas are out there right now and how are you feeling?

Normal women frequently lose during the first trimester so I wouldn't worry too much. :-) I have heard of women earlier out than you that lost during pregnancy and still had healthy babies! :-)

It is super exciting, I heard my little ones heart beat with a Doppler in the office yesterday. That was great! :-) I'm definitely working on staying hydrated...but I feel like it's hard to eat when I'm always trying to drink! Lol

I have been feeling ok, exhausted but ok. I have my days though where I'm light headed...it's sooo easy to get dehydrated. Is this your first? I have a 3 year old son...he's very excited! Lol

When I had called my surgeon/nut they weren't too concerned it seemed. She just said to keep up on my vitamins and make sure I am getting my protein, add a healthy snack a day. However, I have lost a few (5) pounds so I'm waiting to hear what my ob says about that today? I'm a little freaked out about gaining weight. I'm 10 weeks now and my pants are getting tight...it's hard after not feeling like this for so long.

I have been fluctuating between 187 and 190 for months and now that I'm 9 1/2 wks pregnant I weigh 184-5. I'm trying to up my protein and my calories too.

I had surgery 12/11/12 and I have lost 140 pounds. I don't regret it for a second...once in a while I think it would be nice to eat this or that like I used to but then I remember the 140 pounds gone that have given me my life back! :-)

Thanks, I hope this is over quickly! I really haven't been sick much since surgery and it just feels awful! Lol

I'm pretty frustrated...haven't done any exercise since Thursday. Friday was a rest day and Saturday I got sick and I just feel miserable. I'm hoping to jump back in as soon as this passes!

I confess that I'll be 1 year out in December and I just started exercising. I confess that I actually like the energy high that exercising is giving me. I confess that even though I have lost 135 lbs I'm frustrated with how much I weigh. I confess that I hate my skin...I have so much extra skin that I'm not comfortable wearing clothes that fit. I confess that I have been eating candy corn and I went and bought Halloween candy yesterday...all my old faves but I'm not opening them til 7pm Thursday!

I am a nurse and do a lot of lifting/bending and moving. I took 4 weeks off and I feel like I definitely needed that time. :-)

I am in! I had surgery 12/2012 and I have lost 135 lbs without really exercising. I had said I would start when I lost enough and I just never did. I have not lost weight in about 3 months I think and have been eating a lot more things I know I shouldn't but I am maintaining. I have decided to throw my excuses out the window and just get moving! My goal is to continue the c25k I started on Friday and also begin doing ab workouts and I think some kickboxing. Just need to find a workout video I like. If anyone has beginners advice for me I would love it! :-)

I started on Friday, I am so out of shape I almost puked! :-( day 2 was better though!

I'm in grand rapids...not too far!

Where at in Michigan?

I am 10 months out from surgery and down 135 pounds and just found out I'm pregnant. I have to say I am just nervous about the weight gain and ability to lose post-baby. My weight has been pretty stable these last few months, so I'm not concerned that this pregnancy will be unhealthy for the baby but I also know I need to make some healthy changes and eat more. Just wondering about others in the same situation and how everyone is doing?

I started bleeding yesterday afternoon and have miscarried as well. I have definitely been stress eating these last two days...ice cream, cookies and popcorn. I know I need to stop. :-(

You cam take your prenatal. I started mine as soon as I found out and talked to my nutritionist and she said it was fine.

I'm sorry, hope you get some relief soon! :-(
