How much did you gain?



Recommended Posts

My son is currently 8 weeks. I gained 68 lbs in total. Within 3 days of leaving the hospital, I had lost 32 lbs already. Now 8 weeks later, I've lost 48 lbs total without even working out and have 20 more to work on. I have noticed my restriction is not as good as previously but I feel it's returning. Before surgery, I could eat 4-5 slices of pizza, I'm from NY and Pizza was my life. After surgery I could only eat half a slice and that was with no craving at all, during late pregnancy, I could eat a slice and a half and now 8 weeks later, I could eat 1 whole slice but I've lost the taste for it again. Now the thought of certain foods make me sick in my mind again...perfect...lol!! I'm back to no pizza at all...I feel absolutely great and am fitting into my new life just fine after 1 year and 1 baby boy. Good luck all...

I'm 31 weeks and measuring a little ahead. Up 7lbs since I started. I am able to eat a lot more but have made it a point to keep exercising. Glad to hear people got their restriction back after delivery. Plan on breastfeeding so I hope that will go well. Congrats to everyone!

8 months post partum...just got my first period. I'm just now getting restriction back, since we are just about done breastfeeding. I gained more breastfeeding than the whole pregnancy! Lost all the pregnancy weight shortly after birth only to gain it all back...25lbs or so. So happy to start feeling normal again. Lost 8lbs in the last 1.5 weeks. 203 down to 195...hoping to reach 175 soon!!

I'm 29 weeks and I've gained 16lbs so far. Stayed at 184, currently 200. I also notice I have less restriction, but I couldn't handle the 10oz glucose drink for my glucose test, so I know my sleeve is still doing is job! Looking to see what happens after I deliver.

My son Bryson was stillborn at 31 weeks. I was 202 when I delivered, currently 173. My restriction has tightened up a lot. I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight 1 week after delivering him and have lost 11 more since then. Maybe it's because I don't feel like eating anymore that is come off so well...but losing a child doesn't do great things to your mind. It absolutely sucks.

      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.
