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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
