LilaNicole, I had the gastric sleeve. I'm due in December but it seems like I will have an early scheduled c-section. Do not know when yet.

Well I am currently on the last trimester of my pregnancy. We are to be having a scheduled c-section due to previous c-sections I have had with my previous babies. Everything has looked good with baby's health as well as mine. Baby is about 3lbs as of now. We have about 8 more weeks left. Weight gain has been a total of 4 lbs. Nothing else new, just keep getting my protein in daily, drinking lots of water, and taking my vitamins. One pregnancy symptom that is horrible is heartburn. I have it soooo bad every day as well as leg cramps. LilaNicole congrats again and I'm so excited for your bundle of joy.

Hello LilaNicole, First of all Congratulations on your pregnancy! I am currently 6 months pregnant and so far everything is going well. Baby is good and I am good as well. I have gained 2 lbs since I found out I was pregnant. So my VSG is still helping me with my weight. The first trimester of pregnancy was the worse for me as I had bad morning sickness. I am currently in the second trimester and I feel so much more energy and I am eating a more normal amount (well normal for us VSG patients). Baby is measuring great and healthy. We found out we are having another little boy! We are so excited and have begun doing some baby shopping. I will try to update once we get to the third trimester in a few weeks.

Hello LilaNicole. I have not found a gym buddy yet. I will definitely try the Mediterranean bowl. Thanks for the recommendation.

Thank you to everyone. I am scheduled this week for our first ultrasound. Hopefully we get to hear the heartbeat and get to see baby. As for my nutritionist I have an appointment this Friday in which I will talk to her and ask if there is anything different I need to be eating. I am currently taking all my vitamins daily plus my prenatal vitamin. I've also been keeping up with my water intake daily as well as follow my health diet including 70g of protein a day. Calorie intake has been at around 1000 calories but I know that the nutritionist wants me to go up to 1200 calories. It's just a little difficult for me at this time as I feel so nauseas at this stage in the pregnancy. Fairlife chocolate protein shake has been a life saver as I can drink that slowly and that covers 30g of protein for my day. I will try to keep everyone updated on my experience. Thank you all once again and happy mother's day to all the lovely moms.

thank you. I will make sure to search this up.

Hello. I just found out this Easter that I am pregnant 5 months after VSG surgery (SURGERY date 11/15/2021). I am excited but at the same time I am very nervous as I'm older and I have no idea how this pregnancy will go now that I've had VSG surgery. I know we are supposed to wait until 1 year after surgery to get pregnant but I did not believe it would be possible to get pregnant so quick as we had been trying for the past 6 years and nothing. I have/had PCOS and that was the reason we couldn't get pregnant. Anyone else been through this at around this timeframe after VSG surgery. Any tips would be appreciated.

I will begin taking photos. Thank you for the advice.

Hello everyone. My VSG was on 11/15/21. I have lost a total of 51 lbs. I am also going through a stall at this time. I haven't lost anything in the last 2 weeks. Its a little frustrating but at the same time I am amazed at how I've lost these 51 lbs. and need to keep going. I do not notice a difference when I see myself in the mirror but I have noticed my clothes fitting better and a little loose. No one has said anything about me looking thinner but it has been cold here and I've had to wear hoodies or a coat. I know I've lost lbs. and my doctor says I am doing well. I just don't see the progress in the mirror.

Hello everyone. I had my VSG surgery on November 15, 2021 and I feel like I am at a stall and I'm looking for a gym buddy in my area San Antonio, TX. I feel awkward going to the gym on my own. I have no idea where to start and would appreciate having someone who knows what I am going through. I'd love to push you on with your weight loss goals and hopefully be able to push myself also in this weight loss journey. I see the before and after pictures of many of you and you all look so GREAT! I am ready to work on myself.
