Did anyone get pregnant an still loose some weight? (doubtful at the end lol)

Who all kept their fluid?

Im almost 37 weeks and I have gained. But only about 16lbs. I have 10cc's in a 14 cc band and had none removed. Didnt have morning sickness and was able to still eat well. Im told that all the weight I gained will be lost at delivery due to baby, fluid and placenta. Although to be honest I could care less. I can always lose more weight but at 35 my chances of getting pregnant again go down. Dont worry about weight gain, its part of growing a human being!!

I'm not pregnant, was just curious. I'm not worried about it when/if it happens was just curious.

That's amazing though, youll def drop almost all that instantly, baby weight, placenta, & fluid should be about that lol

First time I was preggers (before band) I lost during the first trimester due to my fabulous "food rental" program (puking all the time) but I made up for it in trimesters 2 & 3

Hi there!

I actually lost weight up until I was about 18 weeks. I lost 16 pounds total, and then I started gaining, but I've only gained 17 pounds so far, and I'm just about 36 weeks, and so I'm almost done

I'm only 14 weeks and have gained about 5 pounds. I expect it's mostly because all I could tolerate during my first trimester was carbs. Everything else made me nauseous and sick. I'm accustomed to working out hard at least 4-5 times a week and also had to curtail that. (I'm 40 and pregnant for the first time...) I still workout, though certainly not as hard. My OBGYN wants me not to gain weight. I had to see my bariatric surgeon last week because my port is no longer anchored. Yep, it moves freely. It protrudes from under my ribs without forcing it out, too! After congratulating me on losing over 8 pounds after my wedding, I mentioned my pregnancy and concerns about my floating/flipped port. We opted to drain the band as a precautionary measure. I haven't had food intolerances related to my band (after nearly 5 years of experience, I can definitely tell the difference between band issues and basic stomach issues) and decided since I've still managed to lose weight, I'd rather take the fluid out before really getting big. I certainly don't want them manipulating this silly port at 7 months pregnant and trying to get the fluid out. So.....my band is on hold for now. Gaining weight has me horribly stressed. This is noooooo fun!!
