11 months post op, 15 weeks pregnant



Recommended Posts

I was 373 at my heaviest, 357 pre surgery, currently 255, have gained 3lbs since pregnancy. I am no where near goal. Pregnancy was not planned but I know I wasn't careful enough. Am I totally screwed? Are my chances of reaching a healthy weight decreased because I got pregnant before I reached goal?

PS when will my hair grow back?! :-(

Relax :) I am in your shoes :) I was 11 months out when I got pregnant. My highest was 393 I was around 373 day of surgery and was near 260 when I conceived. I'm now 33 going on 34 weeks with twins. I haven't gained any weight but I did lose weight. I'm now balancing between 245-250. Don't stress. If you really want this baby just relax and see your ob and take it easy. Congrats!!

I've gained 10 now but I bounce in weight up and down. Every body I have spoken with said your restriction returns and weightloss happens just make sure even if you indulge stay as best you can on diet. I haven't been putting enough Water in and eating instead that's how I've gained a bit. But because I want to breastfeed I'm trying to train myself now to start drinking more. I also struggle to keep my blood sugar up. It keeps diving so I have to eat late at night which also contributes. But don't fret the weight it comes off. ;) congrats! By the way I was 7 months when I got preggers hw: 294 dos:261 when I got pregnant: 196-97 currently:207. I could worry I just don't look at myself in the mirror naked it reminds how I looked before all the weight was gone lol I'm currently 21 weeks most of the weight gained since I've started snacking late. I know this is all temporary.

hey there! I am 14 weeks pregnant and 10 month post op! I was 256 pre surgery, 180 at the time of conception, and currently 155. the baby is really messing up my eating and ability to keep things down. I just take it 1 day at a time and stay with the basics.

      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.
