Recommended Posts

soooo..... needless to say I'm freaking out!!! just found out I'm pregnant and will be calling both my doctor to set up an appointment to confirm and my surgeon for information, but yikes! I've heard pregnancy is quite common after weight loss surgery, but I'm concerned about how soon after the surgery this is....has anyone been through this or have any information to share???

No but good luck and congrats. I am sure both your OB and surgeon will take good care of you and make sure are getting all the nutrition you need.

We have the same surgery date, I was 12/10/12 as well. I unfortunately had a miscarriage the day I turned 5 weeks pregnant. I guess my body jst wasn't ready to carry another person. So, I do apologize. I wish I had some advice for u.... Good luck and I'd love to hear about u and ur little one's progress!!

Thank you aquite. I am ok though, the pregnancy was not planned. The first week after was rough but I'm ok now, continuing to enjoy this weight loss. It will happen again when the time is right! :-)

I'm 9 months post op and I am 4 months pregnant. I am doing just fine. We are no different from a regular pregnant women besides our stomach. If you are following your normal diet after surgery then you are fine. There isn't any need to freak out, just take all your Vitamins and eat the good nutritional food. These no right or wrong time to get pregnant. It's just said to wait but no one said you had too. So relax and enjoy it :)

Hi ladies, I had my sleeve aug 2012, I'm 35 weeks pregnant and have only gained 7 pounds. Dr told me today that my baby weighs only 4.2 pounds and should be around 5.5 pounds by now. Going to have another ultrasound next Tuesday and if baby isn't gaining anymore weight they will schedule my csection. Any ideas on how I can gain weight fast? I'm trying to eat more Protein and ensure drinks. I want a healthy baby. :( thanks for any ideas.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
