Hello, I was sleeved on Sep.7th, 2013. I am 7 months post-op and have gone down from 232 pounds to 153 pounds that's 80pounds since surgery. This Sunday I found out I'm pregnant and eventho I'm excited I'm also very concerned since I can't eat enough for one person let alone another human being. I also have struggled with my Water intake and Protein.

But anyways... I have questions for anyone who has been sleeved and been pregnant! can u share with me your experience, your struggles, the weight gain, the weight loss after birth, was it easy was it hard... etc... Thankyou!!!

In the first trimester you only need to up your caloric intake by 300 calories, 350 in your second and up to 500 in your third. That's to maintain your weight. Maybe speak to your dr or a NUT about what they suggest to make sure you are getting enough nutrition for you and the LO. Remember to stay active. The more active you are through pregnancy the easier your labor will generally be and the easier it will be to work off the weight afterwards. I'm actually planning to try for my second about a yr out from surgery. Congrats and good luck!
