SV SV SV! Pre-Pregnancy Weight!



Recommended Posts

At my highest weight, I was about 35 lbs up from my pre-pregnancy weight. While pregnant, I gained 45 lbs, and was only able to lose 10 lbs (8 of it was the baby).

Today I stepped on the scale, only 2.5 weeks out of surgery, and saw my (highest) pre-pregnancy weight! Another 10-20 lbs and I'll be in my "normal" pre-pregnancy weight range. This is amazing! I tried and tried to lose on my own, and never even got close. I thought I'd never see that number again.

I am just beyond thrilled and had to crow about it! Wheeeeeeeee!

That's awesome! I know how you feel. I'm 7 weeks post op and I'm 13 lbs BELOW my pre pregnancy weight 11.5 years ago. Had 3 kids. Gained a lot after my 3rd. Congrats!

I gained 65 pounds during my first (and only because of extreme complications) pregnancy and had a 4 1/2 pound baby. And he was born two months early. If I didn't gain so much weight he would have been smaller and may not have made it.

That was 10 years ago. My goal weight (150) is my pre-pregnancy weight. I've got a long way to go. It is doable, I just have to be patient. I do fit into clothes from three years ago, so I guess that's something to be happy about.

      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.
