MoveIt2LoseIt

I am a year out of surgery and 12 weeks pregnant. I haven't gained any weight yet. I've lost 4 pounds due to severe nausea. I was wondering, for all the ladies out there who have had a child post-op, how much weight did you gain during your pregnancy and was it hard to lose the weight afterwards?

Yes. Mine said between 12 and 18 months post op is ideal. The main concern is that they would like your weight to stabilize before pregnancy. Safer for baby. Less likely to cause malnutrition issues. I however I was stuck at my weight for three months before I got pregnant. Yes it was still earlier than she would have liked, but she believes my weight was starting to stabilize. I haven't had any nutrition issues yet.. Just curious how much us WLS patients would gain in a pregnancy. My surgeon said maybe 15 pounds if I stick to my diet. Baby, placenta, and fluids is all she is anticipating. But I read another user has actually gained 30 pounds. But she was also many years post op.

My name is Courtney, I'm 26, I live in Iowa. I decided to join to have a support system for the long road ahead. I'm 5'3 and started this journey weighing 262 lbs at the start of my 6 month supervised diet. I had my pre op appointment this past Thursday, April 25, and weighed 244. Almost 20lbs gone and optimistic for what lies ahead! Nervous but ready!

Hi Larry! Good luck today and I hope all goes well!
