pregnant- 3 months after surgery



Recommended Posts

Hi friends!

I am 3 mos out from sleeve surgery and found out I am pregnant! My partner and I are so excited. I am nervous about being a first time mom! . I have been a VERY slow loser, getting about 1200-1500 calories a day! Nothing like the “I can only eat 500 calories a day” stories I see on here - so I’m not as worried about food intake and neither are my doctors. I’ve never been this healthy!

just wondering if anyone else got pregnant this quickly and how it went for you! Would love to hear stories. Did you continue to lose slowly? My pre surgery weight was 251 and now I’m 214, so still overweight. Planning on either slowly losing or maintaining throughout my pregnancy but not sure how realistic that is! Would love to hear from you,!

Congratulations Lane 1988! I was a faithful Weight Watchers member when I got pregnant while 260lbs. My doctor suggested I keep going to WW and maintain weight. I was successful with a lot of group support and effort on my part. Your doc may say something else. It was important for me to avoid pregnancy related diabetes. My son was born a healthy 7lbs as a result (adult diabetes makes large babies). As a teacher and former nanny, I also saw many pregnant moms eat for their comfort instead of a bright colorful array of foods. Those little brains need bright colorful foods to grow properly. Ok I’m off my soapbox. You will learn so many positive changes and have a wonderful healthy child. My best to you!

      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.
