Right there with you, I was 141 on my first Doctor visit when I found out i was pregnant. When I had my c-section i was 167 pounds. Two years later I am at 147 and struggling bad!! I know i will never fit in a size 2-4 again and i find myself wearing yoga pants, t-shirts and pet ins shoes everyday. I hat to dress up and really don't like buying and shopping for new clothes. I also had my tubes tied at the same time can this affect you from not losing weight? I mostly have skin in my belly muffin top area and I can pull my skin over my boobs. It is so frustrating and makes me ill and i really want it removed but that is not an option because of money issues. Considering i had surgery July 2010 and lost close to 200 pounds i shouldn't complain but it us so hard not to. Here are a few pictures of my journey.      

Your experience really resonates with me. I was also shocked to find out I was pregnant, 18 mos post VSG.
I noticed I didn't have near the restriction that I did before my pregnancy. I gained 40lbs during my pregnancy and spent 4 mos on very strict bedrest / combination hospital bedrest. Watching the numbers go up instead of down really messed with my head. After giving birth 1/16/15, I lost 25 lbs in the first few weeks. But since then I have managed to gain 10lbs back.
It's hard work! I stress about eating to little and messing up my milk supply. I also worry if I work out too much I could hurt my supply.
So I've decided to go back to basics. I'm doing 3 shakes a day just to increase my calories and Protein consumption. I'm eating lots of veggies and healthy fats. I'm working out 5 days a week, 2 hours each.
I sure hope to see results in the coming weeks. In my opinion it's trial and error. Just figuring out what works best for your body.
I found a gym where they are amazing with my baby and my toddler. I can view them at all times in a CC TV. Honestly, with 4 kids it's the only me time I get.
Can you find a different gym where you feel comfortable leaving your sweet baby girl? I attached a pic of my little Vivian. ????
Are you on MFP? I'd love to be friends and support each other!

My name is Diana and I had the bariatric surgery about 4 years ago. I just had a baby 2 months ago and I'm wondering if someone can share their weight loss story after pregnancy! I gained 40 pounds while pregnant and I am just disgusted by the way I look. I lost 180 within a year after surgery. My hips really spread after pregnancy so I'm not happy at all! I don't have any clothes that fit me because I was thinner prior to pregnancy. Is anyone currently in the same boat.

I had my 3rd baby on 4/16/15 and I had the vsg in 2012. I gained a ton of weight with this pregnancy and am so scared I won't be able to lose it and get back to my happy weight. Let me know if you get any good suggestions!
