Well, I wasn't sleeved when I had my daughter just over 6 months ago (I had my sleeve done when she was 4 weeks old) but I only gained 23 pounds during my entire pregnancy and she weighed almost 10 when she was born. Most of what I put on I put on in the last 2-3 months. I stayed pretty steady for the first 4 months or so then gradually started going up. My baby girl is healthy as can be now. I have a cousin who is a tiny thing that didn't gain a pound during her pregnancy and had a completely healthy baby. As long as you are eating like you should and exercising, then you and the baby should be fine :) Congratulations and good luck!!!

I'm 16 weeks pregnant and I bounce in a 4 lb range with really no gain or loss. It can move as simply from just going to the bathroom. As I only have a bowl movement every 4 days. (TMIsorry) but its fine I lost weight with my morning sickness too. I'm think tops is 25lbs will be my weight gain. With my two pre sleeved pregnancy 35 lbs so that even wasn't that bad. :) congrats btw!

I am 7 weeks an I was sleveed 17 months ago so my weight had pretty much stabalized. I was 180 when I found out I was carrying 3 weeks ago last week I was up 5 pounds to 185 an as of today Im down three pounds 182. I have no morning sickness so not sure of the reason for the loss. I was told 15 to 20 pounds so well see. I snack all day because Im always hungry but I am mindful of what I eat an I still cant eat alot so I also continue to work out when I can keep my eyes open lol just to stay on top of the weight gain. Congrats all its nice to know im not alone.

hihi!! im 12 wks and have lost 18 lbs since finding out I was prego. I have extreme morning sickness but eat as much as possible when not sick. I just hit 167 with a 86lb loss from surgery in feb. 1st time in my life I am actually TRYING to gain weight. its bizarre. im told by drs that the baby will be fine and will take everything from you and that we (as in moms to be) are the ones who will suffer. with all this knowledge I am still nervous. let's keep each other informed!! good luck with your pregnancy's!!!

TRUE! Anyone with bariatric surgery should have serial growth scans to be sure their baby is growing well, and beyond that just eat healthy. As long as your baby is growing well, no worries! No weight gain needed! Bariatric surgery patients also should have the Vitamin levels checked due to problems with absorption. Even with lap band and sleeve procedures. Hope this helps!

I'm 34 weeks preggo.... I have lost a total of 19 lbs since finding out I was preggo. I have gained 2 lbs one month and the next minth it will be gone. But overall I have not gained any weight. I was only 4 months post op when I got preggo... I have had several ultrasounds through out my pregnancy anf my baby boy is completely healthy and right on target with his size and weight. This is my 4th child and the healthiest pregnancy out of them all! ( he was also a surprise.... we had no intentions of having anymore kids, our youngest is 6) I'm absolutely excited to meet our little man and really excited to get in the gym after I have him... I feel I haven't even had the chance to enjoy my weightloss since I got preggo so soon afterwards. I have lost a total of 80lbs and have about 40 more to get to goal... I think that will be easy after I have the baby! : ) good luck with your pregnancy!

I did not... my obgyn just done a lot and I was in the hospital for a kidney stone and got one in there also. But I'm sure if you address your concerns with your doc he will schedule an ultrasound. My ob is not familiar with the gastric sleeve so maybe that's why he did more than usual?

      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.
