Pregnancy and eating



Recommended Posts

I am 3 years post surgery. And in those 3 years I never felt hungry, I knew when it was time to eat, my sugar would drop but never had a hunger pain since the hormone is no longer there. I'm 6 months pregnant and for the first 16 weeks I was sick as a dog, lost 5 lbs in 2 weeks, it was horrible. But now I'm starting to feel what I think is hunger pains. I forget it's been so long. I wake up every 2 hours at night to have a snack and use the bathroom. I eat every 2 hours during the day too. Does anyone else eat this often?

I had trouble keeping and gaining weight in the beginning and now I'm eating like this I thought for sure I would gain a lot of weight, I'm at 12 lbs. Not bad. I read so many other posts where the women said they gained 60+lbs. If you did gain that much weight did you ever have morning sickness? When did you gain the most weight? That sounds like a large amount of weight for a WLS patient to gain, most non wls patients don't gain that much during pregnancy. I would love to hear some feedback since I have a few months to go. When did you gain the most weight? Are you/were you hungry a lot?

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
