Hi friends!

I am 3 mos out from sleeve surgery and found out I am pregnant! My partner and I are so excited. I am nervous about being a first time mom! . I have been a VERY slow loser, getting about 1200-1500 calories a day! Nothing like the “I can only eat 500 calories a day” stories I see on here - so I’m not as worried about food intake and neither are my doctors. I’ve never been this healthy!

just wondering if anyone else got pregnant this quickly and how it went for you! Would love to hear stories. Did you continue to lose slowly? My pre surgery weight was 251 and now I’m 214, so still overweight. Planning on either slowly losing or maintaining throughout my pregnancy but not sure how realistic that is! Would love to hear from you,!

@catwoman7 @Bari_KS THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! this is so helpful. I was taking Prevacid shortly after surgery but my doctor is NOT any help and hasn’t given further instructions. Thank you for this info!!!!

I am 5 weeks PO and having “hunger” feelings in my mouth which I believe are bc of stomach acid. Does anyone else have these- and what did you take? I’m confused if I should be taking Pepcid or Prilosec? I know they have different main ingredients!

I am two months out from my surgery date and I can eat WAY more than two bites! I’ve noticed many people post about eating half an egg and things like that. That is definitely not me. That said, I am not eating as much as I was, so I am definitely losing weight. Try to concentrate on your improvements. Our bodies are all different and we won’t react the same to the surgery.

Thanks guys!!

Losing weight slowly - but stalled at week 3&4 and only lost a pound those weeks. 25 lbs total

Yes liquids.....and between 75-80 mg protein!!! I feel like my stomach is sooooo much bigger than it should be.

Hi! I am new to the forum- a 30 y/o female that had surgery one month ago. I’ve been starving the whole time even though I’ve been on soft solids for two weeks.

im eating 1000 calories a day....I just ate a whole Protein Bar without feeling full!!! It’s freaking me out. A lot of people say they can barely eat two bites of anything at this stage. Did anyone else eat this much early on? My nutritionist said try to stick to 800 calories.....I just thought it would be easier! Is it normal to be this hungry and able to eat larger amounts 1 month PO??
