How much did you gain? How much did you lose?



Recommended Posts

Just wondering others experiences - for those that got pregnant, how much weight did you gain throughout your pregnancy? And were you able to lose it all? How quickly! Thanks!

The Water retention is what worries me the most. Even before pregnancy by the end of the day my legs are swollen from sitting at a desk 90% of my day.

There was an older thread about this. Some say they got their restriction back right after giving birth, others not so much! I'm terrified. I'm just two days short of 17 weeks and so far only up 4 lbs. If I focus on animal Proteins I fill up very fast and cannot eat much. If I eat chips or crackers I can eat way more!

I need to start tracking my food again. Making sure I get enough calories, but at the same time not overeating and putting on unnecessary weight.

i think I posted on the other thread as well. I had good restriction up until middle of second trimester. Havent had ANY (or rarely felt) restriction since then. I track using mfp, I even tried 2 rounds of pouch test, pure liquids and the Atkins diet to help get the restriction back and nothing still.

My nutritionist says to gain or lose 5kg is okay, anything more I need to see her.

I'm up 17 lbs at 29 weeks. Started at 130. Apparently that's right on track for a normal pregnancy. Obviously having had the sleeve I was hoping I would be under the average, but as long as the baby is healthy and I'm not gaining more than the recommended I'll take it!

      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. 🤞
