I remember being pre-op and my favorite thing to do was look at progress photos and dream

I am 6 months, 10 days post op and I am down 128 pounds total. This isnt a very great pic since I have been sick, but i still took it because anything is better than my before!!

I am 29 weeks and I feel like I am hungry again. I never felt hungry before I got preg. I also noticed I can eat more then before I got preg is this normal? And will that hungry feeling go away once baby is born. I am 1 yr post op

Yes i was in your shoes. I was almost 7 months post op when i found out i am preg i am now 17 weeks along first Two months i was very weak and had alot of emesis ( vomit). So they put me on nausea medications and i focused on eating small meals and thankful my husband took over in the kitchen because i needed as much rest as possible by three month i final felt normal again. Now being four months i am doing great and back to normal so hope yours gets better too.

I dont know. Went to the hospital today for dehydration and found out its twins! So im looking for a high risk ob and meet with my bariatric surgeon Wed! Im praying for great nutrition and healthy babies. Will keep you posted.

Congrats and prayers for u and babies to be safe

I am currently 31 weeks pregnant too and almost 2 years out. I have gained 9 lbs so far and yes I do look pregnant. Listen to your body I have had periods of ravenous hunger and others when I don't want to eat..

So beautiful happy for u all. Prayers for all health babies. I know its selfish but i dont want to gain any weight but i know that is not realistic and i want what is best for the baby.

I was sleeved feb 25, 2013-- so a lil over 16 months out

I was 319 and a 26 was no longer fitting

I am now 165 and wear a 14! So I've lost just about 155! I still have a bit to go and it's def slowed but I've completely changed my lifestyle and it's going slow but steady- some months now it's up a lb and some it's down 7..,, just depends

U are doing awesome i am 7 months out with total of 103 lbs gone i started at 330 but yes my weight loss is very slow now but its all good

VERY much so.

That was 35 weeks- I got even bigger.

This was 30 weeks .

You look amazing. I hope when i am that far along i look just as good

A couple more collages

Before and after (in progress actually)

Before

Didn't think I could make it this far... Still a bit to go but I'm so thankful

In progress

Look amazing how far out of surgery are u and how much weight u lose

I have been exercising and using elliptical and tredmill which i am sure is okay but what abt situps? What is safe and for how long is it safe for

I am only couple months preg and i now feel hungry i never felt hungry since my surgery 7 months ago. Which in return i ate to much and got sick and vomited everything so i know i need to learn how slow it down but is this normal to feel hungry with this pregnancy

I know how hard it is to find info on being sleeved and pregnant. Even my Bariatric surgeon wasn't much help as I was his first to be pregnant so soon after surgery! My nutritionist was the most helpful and my OBGYN has been somewhat knowledgeable. I would think that in the next few years our doctors will know more as it seems the sleeve and other weightloss surgeries are starting to become more well known. This site has been extremely helpful to find answers from others in the same situation!!

Very true. I am still trying to wrap my head around this all. As after i had my last son i had an iud that moved out of place and cause alot of trauma. Didnt think it was possible to get pregnant again. But i am very happy. By the way this makes number 6. I have four boys and one girl. So we will see soon what this lil one will be

Congrats!!!!! An congrats on your weightloss too!!! I am currently 33 weeks pregnant and I was only 2 months post op when I found out. I have lost a total of 111 lbs and haven't gained anything this entire pregnancy. Some women gain, some lose and some stay the same so I think it all depends on your body. I had two pregnancies pre surgery and I can definitely say that this one has been the best and healthiest yet! I'm still about 30-40 lbs away from my goal weight but I feel amazing! Good luck with your pregnancy and if you have any questions I would be glad to help!!

Thank you so much. I will definitely be in touch i am sure as i get further alone.

We just found out today we are expecting. This was not planned but we are happy. My concerns are the babies health. Any advise would be very helpful. Also since i have lost 101lbs in those 7 months and now 229. Will i gain weight lose weight or stay the same?. This is not my first pregnancy but first after surgery and want to do whatever i for a healthy safe baby. Thank you in advance.

I just found out i am pregnant today and this was not planned but we are happy. Whoever has gone through this please let me know how your pregnancy has gone for you and if any problem or any advise u can give. This is not my first child but is my first after sugery so i worry if the baby will get all nutrition she or he needs. Also i just lost 101 lbs. I original weight 330 lbs now 229. Since i still have more to loss will my body still loss weight or stay same or gain? Thank you in advance.

My surgery was nov 19,2013 and as of today i am down 100lbs. I am loving my progress.

Good for him:) This just goes to show he is learning early to hopefully not make same mistakes most of us have. Other then wine i drink once a blue moon. I only drink Water and truly believe it helps with my weight loss.
