I had a c-section and our daughter was born 3 weeks earlier. I tried to push her out but it was not good for the both of us. I had Chorioamnionitis resulting in an last minute Csection...

I know this post is old. I got pregnant 6 months post op from gastric sleeve surgery. I delivered a healthy girl 7/26. I still ate the same and it was fine. This is my second pregnancy and a total surprise. Didn't think I would get pregnant at all since im 40 years old and believe the baby making ship sailed long ago. My baby is now 9 weeks old, im back to eatting super healthy to catch up and get back to my regimen before pregnancy. I never had a chance to get to my goal weight but I am more determined than ever! Congratulations your going to have an amazing time being a mom. I realized I am a better mom in my 40s than I was in my 20s.

I know this post is older but I got pregnant 7 months after I had my surgery. As I type right now, I am literally in my second trimester (I conceived in November 2018) Everything is going great so far. I only gained 6 pounds in 4 months, my goal is to stay under 15 lbs total. I still drink protein shakes and do my best to eat good wholesome choices. I go to town on roasted caulifower with curry powder. I think my baby loves her grilled veggies. I was 20 lbs from my goal weight and super active at the time I conceived too so I still do HIIT training Tuesday /Thursdays, Pilates 2x a week Wednesdays/Sundays, and atleast 1 spin class a week. I am so afraid of losing control and gaining it all back but so far so good. If you are pregnant congratulations...Remember to drink a boat load of fresh water, and stay active. You have a bigger reason to stay healthy as possible and enjoy life with your child. Make it happen!!

I am 20 lbs from hitting goal weight and feeling real strong. As of Monday, found out I am pregnant. My husband and I have tried concieving the past two years, and did so many tests. No outcome. After weight loss, followed by improvement of health (No high blood pressure, apnea, etc) we got a miracle baby. I was told at the start of surgery to be careful and NOT get pregnant but at my age, we're thrilled. Before pregnancy my weight loss was great! I feel strong and my skin is pretty good (besides my lower stomache) Now, Im doing my best to eat healthy and not overly gain weight because im eating for 2. Im still chowing down on veggies, salads, staying away from fried foods, etc, and really planning on only gaining weight around my belly not everywhere else and safely shed baby weight with diet/exercise. Ive had stalls but I feel like alot of my stalls was from gaining muscle. My stomache is still small and im glad ill be feeding my baby healthy nutritious food instead of pizza, and just bad stuff that I would have been eatting a few years back.

Didn’t have to do a peer to peer. After I completed 90 day multi disciplinary regimen, I was approved for surery 10 days after all my paperwork was submitted.

I hit a weight loss stall. No matter how hard I try I can’t move the needle. It’s so fustrating

I never want to drink it again. I bought so much favoried clear protein for the pre-op clear liquid diet and have alot left over...It makes me cringe.

Everyone will about regain about 20% of their weight back after 2 years regardless gastric sleeve or RNY... However RNY has better weight loss results and longer lasting results as the food travels shorter and doesnt stays within your body long enough. RNY is considered the mecca of weight loss procedures. It also says in your link "Most patients report 50 to 60 percent EWL within two years and then subsequent weight regain. These are the patients who seem to benefit most from a revision procedure to eliminate the weight regain" Now for the poster, her potential end result is 189 lb per gastric sleeve calculator and this is with a 20% chance, a 50% chance is 210 after 18 months. If she has another procedure, her starting point will be at her present weight and she will be able to break into the 150's, and hopefully maintain it with some work and dedication. I hands down agree with you that forever dieting is something we will need. Its a must. It's unavoidable for us. I also know from sitting in nutrition class with people over 325 + that weight loss surgery sometimes requires 2 surgeries.

In my weight loss meetings there were people in process of doing a second surgery. Many times gastric sleeve doesn't always work for permenant weight loss. Dont beat yourself up. Things happen. Anyhow, these veterans were coming in for RNY which will guarantee unreturned weight loss. Im only 6 weeks post op and think sometimes I should have just gone with RNY instead of the sleeve because im always worried about stretching out my stomache and losing restriction.

How many days are you out? 450 calories is dangerously low...I’m 6 weeks out and can eat about 800 - 900 calories And I do spin classes. I need the energy to do high level cardio otherwise I’d pass out

Your stomache is still swollen. It takes anywhere from 4-6 weeks for swelling to go down. Keep walking and doing cardio. I looked exactly the same for the first 4 weeks just now people and my family are noticing a difference. Lol

I went to palm springs last weekend for 4 days with some friends and my husband. I bought my own food from a local Whole foods and made myself mocktails...For mocktails, I used 15 cal minute made, like mango passion and threw some fresh squeezed ginger and little spicy mixer from muddle and wilde (SUMAC CHILI LIME to be exact). The mocktail was amazing. Other mocktail, I made was 15 cal minute made lemonade with Muddle and Wilde Lime Jalapeno with some fresh mint. I also brought with me String cheese to eat on all day and had almonds. Also log all your foods in an app like My Pal Fitness. My friends were all supportive of my new eatting habits and didn't make a fuss or question anything. You will be alright. You can do this!

I know this story too well. I had huge inflammations all around each incision and the itching was out of this world. I applied a lot of tea tree oil half of the day followed by aloe Vera gel and the other half of day I did hydrocortisone. For me the itching just started to reside and I’m 4 weeks out!!! I’m sympathizing with you and I’m not going to lie, the itching is crappy as hell.

Im eye to eye with you. I was a slow shedder also. I lost 8 lbs on my 2 week follow up visit after surgery. I total of 13 lbs starting a week before surgery...Then, I gained back weight when I started pureed foods, had stall for a few week. Literally some friends thought believed I hadn't had yet it. Today marks the 4th week and I lost a few lbs. Also your stomache is still swollen inside. One it heal completely your notice you belly to go down too. Is there a trader joes around you? They've got a ton of real tasty food and soups that are low in carbs and salt.

Congratulations!!! June 19th is around the corner. Prepare yourself for a great journey and see you on the post op thread!
