I am almost 2 years out from surgery and 27weeks pregnant. I know I am suppose to gain weight and so far I have been good ... Gaining 7lbs BUT I have been eating more and more and my belly is able to handle it :/ not sure why. Plus I have been craving sugar and crap I know I can not have but I give in and YES I get sick where I feel horrible. Guess I'm just not understanding why I am able to eat this not good food now and wasn't able to do so before I got pregnant. I don't want to gain over the recommended weight or go back to old eating habits!

I have mine set 800 calories a day ... I reached my goal weight and did not gained anything back. With my struggle of keeping my food choices healthy I found out I'm pregnant ... 16 weeks now super excited but still going through hard times ... It's stressful!! I will say now that I'm pregnant my calories have increased so our baby and I stay healthy.

I am still having a hard time not going back to my old habit especially eating out of bordem. I have tried to buy only good healthy Snacks and dinners. I have talked with my husband and explained that we as a household will have to start eating better and me just not eating a small portion of something I know I shouldn't eat. I have not kept up with MFP which is something I really need to start doing again because it is a great tool

Thank u for the response

That gives me some encouragement to keeping positive. I have been LOTS of issues with my glucose levels dropping extremely low and they have been telling me to eat more meals and Snacks during the day but it seems almost impossible sometimes because I'm not hungry and you gotta get the fluids in ... So just feeling lost for moment I guess

Has anyone been pregnant after gastric bypass? Or maybe currently pregnant? The forum set for the pregnancy was pretty much empty. I'm just looking for someone that has been through it or currently going through it ... I have been having some issues but I do not know anyone going through pregnancy after gastric so they won't fully understand :/

Thank u so much for that great response!! What u said was very true ... My nutrition advisor also said to increase my Protein and make sure I was getting adequate amounts daily! Oh and also drink Water and war fruit when u have a craving for sugar.

I am a year and couple months out from surgery, I have not kept a good log recently ,.. I do have a my fitness pal which I'm going to start following again ... I am also going to try to get more Protein in!

Thank you guys!

Maybe I'm not getting enough Protein in ... I'm going to start doing MFP again and keep track of everything!

How would I detox the sugar? Which fruits are good for weight loss patients?

I'm beginning to find myself eating and eating ... Like snacking throughout the day and not on healthy good choices. I do not understand why I am beginning to crave the sugar and pop again eating when I'm not hungry is starting to come back also :/ ... It's almost like I'm disappointed in myself or something I am a little over a year out and have lost about 138lbs and really starting to feel happy about my body. I do not want to gain the weight back but I seem to be at a loss on what to do to kick myself back into a good habits!

Any suggestions?

It almost feels like I have forgot what I need to be doing or something

Thank u! Didn't think about the detox ... I'm up for anything ... I have lost 140 and don't want to get gain any of it back

I need help! I have found myself Over the past couple of weeks eating and eating even when I'm not hungry AND been craving sweet things again. I don't know what to do about this I do not want to be on the road to failure!!

Any suggestions?

Why did you choose the sleeve? I told my doctor that was researching the sleeve and was planning to do this surgery .... But she recommended the gastric bypass for longer results. I'm undecided at this point any words of advice on this would help! Thank you

I already had to reschedule once! I really want to make this lifestyle change ... I am ready!! Where are you getting yours?

I am so excited for my first consult! I'm a little nervous as well ... I'm hoping for the best but always afraid that something will go wrong.

Great job!! Keep it up! I can't wait to start loosing weight!

The insurance company said that the doctor's office said that they want to do it on the 28th so we shall see.

I'm hoping because I have already six months of failed diet from PCP I will not have to wait the six months ... My sister is getting surgery done in August and hoping we can do this process together for support.

Welcome!! I have also just finished all requirements for my insurance as well and the doctor has submitted to my insurance company for approval on friday. What insurance do you have? I have CIGNA.

How long did the process take? I'm approved by my PCP and going to my seminar June 9th.
