For those of you that became pregnant just a few months post op



Recommended Posts

I was 7 months post op when I got pregnant. I was at a huge stall as well. When I found out I was pregnant I was stalled between 215-212lbs. I lost weight during. I went Down to 200 lbs and stayed between 204-208lbs during my third trimester. A week after I gave birth I weighed 188lbs.

I started eating reckless and now I can eat a little more so I quickly started Gaining the weight back. The baby is 8 months old strong and healthy. With stress new mommy and wife duties the holidays and EverytHing else going on I went back up to 208. I started eating smarter and am down to 202. I hope to get back to 188 and go to my original goal weight which is 175. I'm going to continue my healthy eating like I did before I gave birth. Since being a new mom is life changing it took away from my priority to keeping loosing mostly because I was always tired to prepare my meals and it was Always easier to get home from work and order take out. Hope this helps.

Hi, I had my sleeve done Jan 30, 2014 and now I am pregnant. I was 20 pounds away from my goal weight before I found out I was pregnant . I was gaining weight at first but now I have been losing weight. It wasn't planned but I am very excited. I wish I could say everything is going ok but I can't. I am 3 months pregnant. At the very beginning I had severe nausea and when I eat I just feel disgusted. I have been very bloated with no energy at all. Now the nausea did eventually went to regular nausea but I still have the feeling bad when I eat and bloating. I now have a new symptom of short of breathe but it has been getting worse. I just hope all symptoms go away after this first trimester. Has anyone else pregnant and have issues?

      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.
