Anyone lose the weight post baby

[cyncitygirl 100]

Has anyone on here gotten pregnant with the sleeve and can share their experience losing or maybe not losing the baby weight easily/difficultly? After having the baby did the sleeve go back to the restriction or does it not work again?:0/

I have not had to worry about this as I am done with the baby thing....however the restriction does not go away because you are pregnant. It is defiantly better to wait to get pregnant until you are at least a year post op because making the baby takes calories that you are unable to consume in the beginning. If you aren't getting enough calories in while pregnant the baby will pull from your own body, which is extremely unhealthy to you. Once you are more then a year post op you are able to fit in more healthy calories. Good luck!

I was hoping someone could give some insight this as well! I'd love to hear people's experiences.

I am 20 weeks pregnant and 1.75 years out from the sleeve. I lost 130 pounds. At 5'11" I weight around 160. I am up to 183 as of today. That is 23 pounds weight gain in 21 weeks (21 on Wednesday). I have NO clue whether or not I am going to lose this weight, but my restriction might as well be a thing of the past. I can eat my FACE off! I am so hungry all the time! I am hoping that the hunger goes away after baby, but I don't know. I was in maintenance when I got pregnant...I wish I gotten pregnant while still losing, but hey. I am pregnant for the first time at 36! That is a miracle. I have gained weight all over and still can squeeze into my clothes from my thighs, but can not button anything in the tummy. Shirts are little snug in the arms but mostly in my tummy. I feel big, but I am not going to let it get me down. I am not working out which just is terrible. I can not function in this cold weather and I am waiting for the warm weather to hit so I can go walking. Did i mention I can eat? Like everything! So scary!

I'm glad you shared your experience and yet now I'm scared. Lol. I got the sleeve so I could eventually get pregnant but that's my fear to be free to eat like a kid going to recess. So you can eat a big meal? Does your doctor say your band will go back to working post baby? I'm glad you are healthy and so is the baby!!

Hello!

Sorry to disappoint you but for me thinks wasn't so good with weight lost post baby...

I had my son 2 years ago and steel eating more, steel having 15 Kg plus. I had problems with post baby depression. I just stopped takken "prozac".

My stomach gut bigger during pregnancy, i was eating double meals whithout feeling pain or pressure like before.

Now 2 years after, didn't go back to my previous meals and thinking 2th operation with folding method.

I am very disappointed because i believed sleeve was ones and for all dealing with fat, and now ones again my clothes dont fit me. The worse of all: I am not forgeting to eat anymore, i can't ignore a pastry shop or sweets like before...I CAN'T IGNORE food LIKE BEFORE!!! and feel only grief, geting tyrannized over it again, as always.

Maybe i am not so good advisor because of my depression that made thinks more difficult.

I am 8 mos post op and almost 8 mos pregnant. I got pregnant 2 Wks after surgery. And NOT on purpose. I had a para guard IUD in and still became pregnant. I have lost over 115 lbs and my baby is alive and thriving. I have not gained a lb yet. But now I have stayed the same weight for about a month. I still get discouraged because I don't see the scale going down. But I understand that I'm pregnant and should be thankful that I haven't gained anything. I still have about 80 lbs id like to lose post baby. So I'm hoping that can be accomplished. I eat about 700-800 cals a day and both my surgeon and OB are completely fine with that. I still feel restriction.
