Recommended Posts

I'm just curious what people have gained or what other doctors are recommending for weight gain during pregnancy?

I am 16 weeks and i have lost 18lbs. My ob wants me to gain 15 if i need to gain weight. He says most women change to healthier eating habits which leads to weight loss

How far out from surgery are you? I'm about 14 months out and I'm almost 13 weeks. My ob said she wants me to gain 30 lbs but I don't know that she's had many wls patients. I haven't gained anything yet but I'm sure I will...just that 30 lbs seems like a lot.

I had an opps moment on this pregnancy. I havent had a period in like 6 months I have PCOS and 3 weeks almost 4 I tested positive. I actually tested because i vomitted i was almost sure i ate to fast but no i was pregnant. My doctor deals with high risk but not wls patients guess that's why i see my surgeon every month.

Okay, so you are very new then. I saw my surgeon at my one year and he saw no reason to see me for another year, I wasn't pregnant then. I suppose if my ob sees a problem with my weight or baby I will see him if I need to. :-)

Okay, 15 lbs seems a little more reasonable. Especially because I'm still technically obese, even after losing 140 lbs. Lol

I've lost 125 lbs but I'm still considered overweight hence the 15 lb max

I'm 15 months out and 28 weeks pregnant. I was 10-15lbs from goal when I got pregnant. I was "blessed" with hyperemesis (severe morning sickness) and lost 13lbs from week 5-16. At week 28- I have gained 5 back.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
