I gained weight!!!!



Recommended Posts

I've been at 205 since I found out I was pregnant. I fluctuate a pound or so here or there but I've been a steady 207 for two days now. I'm at 9 weeks. Is it too early for me to be gaining? I noticed I can't fit into some of my pants because of a little belly that I didn't have before.

I lost 13 pounds during the first trimester of my first pregnancy because of some awful morning sickness so I'm not sure if this is okay or if I need to lay off the munchies. LOL! Gaining weight is kinda freaky after being banded for 2 years. :biggrin:

Hahahaha ladies, I've been really moping since I weighed myself yesterday. Misery loves company, I hate to say I'm glad someone else gained more than they think they should so early!?

I'm emberassed to admit, I was losing the first week I found out, and in one friggin week I went from 212lb to 217lb. 5lb!! I'm not even unfilled much.. I've been eating a lot of crap, but no more than usual (I thought). I'm a bit bummed, and I keep saying "I'll do better today", and I am trying..but sweet cravings are ridiculous...and knocking out smoking and caffeine is triggering me to eat when I'm not hungry.

Just want to waaah with you.

I am hopeful though since you said you lost it losing.. I got all the tempting crap out of my house, so back to eating boring stuff.. hopefully.

I was bitching to DH I am dying for a fresh donut.. and I don't even eat donuts.. and I looked, we don't even HAVE donut places here.. DOH.. good thing, I know.. but I can't believe if I want a fresh donut, I can't get one!

well fairy, the reason i lost is cause i was too tight for about 2 of those 3 weeks.... i literally ate about 3-4 bites of food with each meal. the only reason i didnt lose more is cause of one of my cravings (still crave/eat them actually)...

Hostess Cherry pie... OMG!!!! soooo good. the funny thing is, i never used to like them. but now, i get one and eat 2 bites of it and then throw it in tupperware and it lasts a few days...

I've been "fairly" good. I've been having some major sweets carvings though. And I've been drinking milk which I haven't done in ages. I just didn't feel like I was getting enough Calcium so I drink a glass or so a day. Oh, and I'm not drinking all of my Water. I'm already getting up several times a night to pee, I won't sleep at all if I drink 8 glasses a day!!!

I am really excited for everyone on here who has given birth after being banded and is currently pregnant! I am really really looking forward to the day my husband and I can start planning on being pregnant, which we hope will be sometime around one year! I really am wondering what it would be like to be pregnant as a banded person...heck just wondering what it would be like to be pregnant in general!

I don't understand why I gotta pee all the time, my uterus shouldn't be that big yet :smile:

I am drinking all my Water, least doing that right.

Going to start back on myplate tomorrow and make myself accountable....

I go about 4 or 5 times a night. I don't understand why either though. Weird, isn't it? All I'm sure of is the fact that I want to get as much sleep as I can now because once the baby's born...forget it. Those feedings every 2-3 hours in the beginning are brutal!

I think all the extra peeing at the beginning has to do with increased blood volume. I just considered it training for later, cuz believe me, it gets much worse in the third tri!

LOL, I'm sure... I don't feel pregnant right now though.

Good news, back to 212lb! I must have just eaten a lot of salt for a couple days and retained some Water.

      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.
