This is just from my experience. I had my son 3 months ago and was sleeved 12/14/2010. *What are the major differences in pregnancy before and after the VSG procedure? Fuller faster.... *Did you have weird cravings? It seems like you would not because the Ghrelin is gone. Not weird but you did have cravings. *Did you gain a lot of weight? Was it a struggle to gain the weight? I gained about 45 lbs and no it was not a struggle to gain the weight. I was monitored a lot more closely and the weight crept on at the end. Some of it was Fluid. *Were you nauseous? more than normal. Nope. *Were there any concerns about taking in enough food for the baby? No, they will monitor you *Anything else noteworthy? I had a healthy happy pregnancy. I find that it is a little harder to lose the weight now but it is coming off. I am just going to be patient and I know that it will come off again, after all I did just have a baby.

Hello!!! Well, baby boy is doing well...we are still not sleeping thru the night but I know that it is a work in progress. I could not do a weeks worth of liquids like I had originally planned. So I am going back to tons of protein protein and pushing the liquids. I have about 35 more to lose and then I will be back to my 133 lbs. I know that with working out and the support from here and other places that we will do this. I hope that we can all check in and support each other yet once again!!!

I have posted this on the pregnancy site but I wanted to know what you did to get your weight loss going again after a stall? My stall was pregnancy but I need idea/thought son getting back focused on losing weight. Thanks

I just had my baby boy and I have about 40 lbs to shed. I am stressing out because I feel as though my hunger is back to what it was before and I can't find the energy or determination that I had before to lose this weight. I am going to try to do a week of liquids starting tomorrow but I know that with out proper exercise and I won't get that till I go back to work on 8/19. What have you done to get back in the right mind set to focus back on your weight loss? I know that the sleeve is permanent but I feel as though my sleeve has stretched out...I need to focus and focus hard.....

No...I have not...my gastric doctor won't even see me until after the baby is born and my ob did not say anything about about it either.

Hello!! I am currently 15 weeks pregnant and have gained like 8 lbs so far. I feel as though I weight my pre-sleeve weight (was 225 lbs) and I am only 153.8 as of this morning. I too am also worried that I will not get back to my size 4's and that I will not get to my goal weight (I still has about 10 lbs to go before I got pregnant). I know that my sleeve is permanent but I still worry that after I have the baby that I will not be able to do it again. I guess that I will have to get back to the basics and try to follow the rules as much as possible and try to incorporiate the rules while pregnant. I know that I certanly can eat a whole lot more but again, I again I am hoping that after the baby that things will go back to normal again. Good luck to all of you.

I am the same way. I am 11 weeks and I find that I can eat more than I use to a couple of weeks ago. I don't want to gain too much weight and want to eat and scared that I gain too much and will be hard to lose the weight after the baby is born.

Heading to the gym to day to get started on my personal goal. I can do this and I will do this.

Starting: 141.7 DOS: 12/14/2010 Current:140 Goal for 10/31/2012: 134

I am thinking if I put a little in a protein drink that it would be okay?

Are any of you eating nutella as a form of protein?

Well, I said Monday but this morning when I woke up, I said nope, tomorrow. I had not prepared my food and I need to get to the store but I am getting BOT tomorrow. I welcome it back. I will do this. I can do this.

I am also starting the boot camp on Monday. I am planning my meals for the week and getting focused again. I am giving myself till 11/12/2012 to try and lose 10 lbs. I WILL DO THIS!!!
