Gaining weight during pregnancy



Recommended Posts

From the moment I found out I was pregnant, I was elated. Then... the worry of gaining to much weight set in. Now, I'm worried since I haven't gained weight, instead I have lost a few pounds. Has anyone else had this problem? What did you do?

Surgery date/weight: 7.22.15 - 209lbs

+ Pregnancy test/weight: 8.16.16 - 140lbs

Current weeks/weight: 19 weeks - 11.26.16 - 135lbs

I can't talk about pregnancy after surgery, but I know that in my pregnancy (pre-surgery), I didn't really begin to put on weight until around 20 weeks or so and actually lost 5-10 pounds during my first trimester due to morning sickness.

I am sure your OB will let you know if they have concerns and advise you on what needs to be done.

Congrats!

I got pregnant 5 months after surgery and had a completely ideal pregnancy without any complications whatsoever. Gained 17lbs throughout and it was all gone two days after I delivered. I didn't gain anything until I was a few months in. I dropped to for the first couple months. Went right back to losing afterwards too. (I breastfed and am still 10 months out) Ive had to really boost my calories to not continue to lose but all has been well. I hope everything is going wonderful for you!

I'm sorry, I can't answer that. I lost my baby at 20 weeks (a week after I made this post). Good luck to you and yours!

      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.
