8 Months Post Op, 5 Weeks Pregnant - Weight Gain & Lost



Recommended Posts

So I just found out I am 5 weeks pregnant, I'm currently 8 months post op and in total has lost 81lbs....oh yeah just gained back back a few in the last few weeks alone.

Not sure what the average weight gain is & if the weight was lost quickly after?

If anyone has had their baby, can you tell me if the weightloss continued on after the baby was born......

I'm 24 weeks pregnant and I've gained 9 lbs so far, looking to gain another 10 before I'm done. The plan is to get back to my goal weight ASAP after the baby comes.

I am 9 months post op, 16 weeks pregnant and I haven't gained yet. Which the dr are concerned with. I heard though after the baby your restrictions go back to normal... I am on a Facebook group that a few girls have had children and they easily lose the weight after... but that is with work.

I gained 6 of the 9 lbs in week 20 to 24 lol you will put on some weight I'm almost 2 years out from having my sleeve and was at goal when I got pregnant.

I got pregnant very soon after my surgery. I am 29 weeks today and have lost 30lbs and have not gained a thing. At first i was losing about 5lbs a month or more. Now i am losing about a lb or 2.

I got pregnant 10 months post-op. I was down 100 and about 15lbs from goal. I really didn't gain much while pregnant (7lbs total). I was 152-ish when I got pregnant (size 10). This morning (2.5 weeks after baby) I was 134.2. I'm perfectly happy with my loss and just need to tone up. I'm 4'11 so my weight puts me somewhere between a size 4-6 depending on brand. I'm wearing size 6 non stretch denim shorts today. I'm also breastfeeding baby, too and that helps with weight loss- but also makes you ravenously hungry.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
