7months post op and pregnant

[newlifeforlittleME 23]

Hello all. I had my vsg on July 31. Started out at 306 and now at 225. Still wanted to lose another 50 pounds but much to my surprise, I am pregnant. Conceive on Valentines Day (so cliche). However excited I am, I am still very very nervous. This definitely wasn't a planned thing. I have two sons, ages 4 and 2. I conceived both of them with the help of Clomid so I honestly didn't think it could happen naturally. Boy was I wrong. I'm not looking for ridicule because I know what the recommendation is for pregnancy after wls. I am just interested in the story of others who conceived so early following surgery. We're there struggles with eating? Did you gain all your weight back? I was a cash surgery and have no intention of being that big again. Any words of wisdom you can offer???

Congratulations on your surprise! I don't have any first hand experience but after 6 months you should be able to provide adequate nutrition for you and baby and there are women who have gotten pregnant much earlier. I think your best bet is to ask your doctor to speak with a nutritionist who can give you some ideas of what to do with your diet during pregnancy and again how to adjust post pregnancy to keep the weight coming off then. I wish you the best!

Congratulations!! Talk to your nutritionist and see how many calories, Proteins etc...to add to your diet. I have a family member who is pregnant (sleeved & DS 2 yrs ago) and her dr told her to add 400 cal to her diet, too up her Protein & carbs.

I was sleeved Oct.2, 2012 and just found out I'm 7 weeks preggo.... my husband and I are very excited. I have been struggling with any type of food... it all makes me sick. I have actually lost 7 lbs in the past week. Im very concerned Im not going to get enough calories/nutrition needed for the baby. My doctor said I will be fine though. This will be my 4th child (I have a 15, 10 and 5 yr old) we know this is a blessing for our family.. Congrats to you on your pregnancy.

I just found out I'm pregnant... My surgery was June 27th, 2012 and I'm down 116lbs. I have been stressing; However, I would like to say finding this site has calmed me considerably! I wish you the best as I know how you must be feeling! Congratulations!

I am 29 Wks post op and 27 Wks pregnant. This baby wasn't planned. I had an IUD in and still became pregnant. We are ecstatic despite the circumstances. I have went from 330 lbs to 220 lbs since surgery even though I am pregnant. And my OB says this is perfectly fine. My baby is healthy and growing beautifully inside my womb. I am however worried about losing the 70 more lbs I want to lose after the baby.
