Not losing fast and may be pregnant.



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I had my surgery last November I only have lost about 60 lbs. I have been the same weight for the last 3 months. I know its my fault. I haven't been exercising and I haven't been watching what I eat.

Now its possible I could be pregnant. I still have a week before I test but I feel like I could be.

I would love to be but worried about my weight. I'm 230. I was 8 months pregnant at this weight with my last child. How can I start from here!

Like I said I don't know yet so may be no reason to worry but I'm excited too.

I'm confused...if not I may start trying cuz I'm not getting any younger.

Is that stupid? Idk what happens with my weight loss?

Anyone out there with similar issues or am I weird!?!

Start working out and eating better. Even if you are pregnant it will help you and baby be healthy. Plus working out through pregnancy makes labor a little easier and is supposed to help you recovre faster.

Thanks I did just start working out again these last 2 weeks. I'm just unsure what to think right now.

First let me put your mind at ease a little. I weighed 280lbs when I conceived my daughter in 2008. Plus, I was 38 years old. I had pretty little complications during pregnancy, nothing that effected my child. She was born full term via C-section. ( That was because she had a big head! LOL) My daughter was completely healthy with NO problems. I healed easily from the C-section and by the time I had my 6 week check up I already weighed less than I did when I conceived her!!! ( by a couple of pounds ) So please do not be too concerned about your weight as far as that goes. Eat healthy, get as much exercise as you can stand and try not to worry. And if you are pregnant you can always reinvest yourself in your weight loss after the baby is born. The tool will still be there, just start using it again!

Thank you that is really reassuring!

I will just get back to exercise and if I do end up pregnant at least it will be a healthier one.

I'll keep u updated. Its a week b4 I can take the test.

A baby is a blessing no matter what. It may be scary but in the end everything will turn out fine and that little one will bring you more joy than you could ever imagine. Good luck!

      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.
