My dr told me at first appt I was allowed a 25lb gain for entire pregnancy. I have lost 27lbs and am almost 34 wks. He is experienced with weight loss surgery patients and diabetic patients. Idk why she would say no weight gain at all. Even my ob dr from my son 11yrs ago told me 20-30lbs was normal. With him I gained 57lbs and he never got mad about it even when I asked what to do to lose some he said worry about it after the baby is born. Idk every dr is different but I don't agree with no weight gain.

Congrats and good luck. Just keep your fluids up and eat healthy and you should do fine!

I'm 9.5 mos out from surgery and am 9 wks pregnant. I see a prenatal dietician that works closely with my obgyn and my primary dr and also my surgeon is doing follow ups also. I was worried about not in taking enough but she assured me baby will get what it needs just have to have labs more often and keep myself healthy. They did increase my calories from 750 per day to 1000 cals a day. She told me to do my best and I will have a healthy pregnancy.

Wifey I didnt lose what they wanted but he did the surgery anyway cause I did lose 20 of 30lbs asked.

Surgery was July 5th and am down 111lbs. total Starting weight was 450lbs. Surgery weight 430lbs. currently 339lbs. So thats 91lbs since surgery.

Had my classes from Feb. 28th to May 15th, met with surgeon May 30th. First surgery date was June 26th but hadnt lost the 30lbs surgeon wanted so was changed to July 5th. My surgeons office has a 3 week minimum wait for surgery to lose required weight asked of the surgeons.
