One Year Out And Pregnant!



Recommended Posts

Congratulations!! I haven't been on the site in a while and wanted to check in. I just found out yesterday that I'm pregnant!!!! Our stories were pretty similar, we tried for about 2 years before my sleeve surgery with no luck. Now, 1 year post-op, I'm pregnant! How has it been for you the past couple months? Have you been feeling well?

Congratulations Kirstin and Kristina. It's the stories on this thread that helped me decide to go for surgery. We will start trying as well at the one year mark. But I haven't had the surgery yet. Best of luck to you both!

Hello! I have not been on here in a while so thought I would update. I was 15 weeks yesterday, things are progressing well. I had a VERY rough first trimester, lots of nausea and vomiting. I started taking zofran around week 9 which has helped a lot but not completely. I feel a little better every day though. I weighed 171 the day I found out I was pregnant, then lost 7 lbs (down to 164) from all the sickness and food aversion; I seriously coudn't stomach the thought of eating! Now that I am feeling better and eating again, I have put 4 lbs back on, making me 168 lbs today. So I am still down 3 lbs at the 15 week mark, but baby seems to be doing just fine. Good luck to all of you, can't wait to hear your success stories soon!

Congrats to you!!! I'm 6 months post op and 13 weeks pregnant! I too have/had PCOS and was told I would never conceive....well....it was definitely the weight holding me back. Baby is healthy, I am fine!! I haven't been sick or had any cravings. I have lost more weight and the docs don't want that. HW was 283, today I'm 186 (almost at goal) We are very happy! Best wishes to everyone!!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
