7months post op and pregnant



Recommended Posts

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 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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
