15 weeks pregnant sleeve In 2017



Recommended Posts

This will be my second baby found out yesterday another boy so excited. I can't help but feel anxious about this pregnancy as I have only gained 5 pounds so far. I know that is good but I am not showing at all. My doctor doesn't seem to think it's an issue. Any other mamas go through this?

I actually lost weight in both of my pregnancies (one being prior to my surgery) and this last one I lost at first and only gained 8 lbs total for the entire pregnancy which fluctuated up and down. The baby was 7lbs 6oz at birth..... and after I had him I lost over 25 lbs within a few weeks. I think it really depends on your weight going in on how much you will actually gain or lose (if any). If you are overweight then you aren't supposed to gain much and the more overweight you are, the less you are supposed to gain if that makes sense. I was sick the entire way through but the Drs were not concerned as I was still overweight and the baby was absolutely fine. Just stay hydrated is what they will most likely tell you and if need be then get on some nausea meds to help keep some kind of food down. However, I wouldn't worry about it as long as the baby is healthy at ultrasounds and is kicking, I think you'll be just fine.

      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.
