Recommended Posts

We just found out today we are expecting. This was not planned but we are happy. My concerns are the babies health. Any advise would be very helpful. Also since i have lost 101lbs in those 7 months and now 229. Will i gain weight lose weight or stay the same?. This is not my first pregnancy but first after surgery and want to do whatever i for a healthy safe baby. Thank you in advance.

Congrats!!!!! An congrats on your weightloss too!!! I am currently 33 weeks pregnant and I was only 2 months post op when I found out. I have lost a total of 111 lbs and haven't gained anything this entire pregnancy. Some women gain, some lose and some stay the same so I think it all depends on your body. I had two pregnancies pre surgery and I can definitely say that this one has been the best and healthiest yet! I'm still about 30-40 lbs away from my goal weight but I feel amazing! Good luck with your pregnancy and if you have any questions I would be glad to help!!

I know how hard it is to find info on being sleeved and pregnant. Even my Bariatric surgeon wasn't much help as I was his first to be pregnant so soon after surgery! My nutritionist was the most helpful and my OBGYN has been somewhat knowledgeable. I would think that in the next few years our doctors will know more as it seems the sleeve and other weightloss surgeries are starting to become more well known. This site has been extremely helpful to find answers from others in the same situation!!

Very true. I am still trying to wrap my head around this all. As after i had my last son i had an iud that moved out of place and cause alot of trauma. Didnt think it was possible to get pregnant again. But i am very happy. By the way this makes number 6. I have four boys and one girl. So we will see soon what this lil one will be

      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.
