    Thank you aquite. I am ok though, the pregnancy was not planned. The first week after was rough but I'm ok now, continuing to enjoy this weight loss. It will happen again when the time is right! :-)

No but good luck and congrats. I am sure both your OB and surgeon will take good care of you and make sure are getting all the nutrition you need.

We have the same surgery date, I was 12/10/12 as well. I unfortunately had a miscarriage the day I turned 5 weeks pregnant. I guess my body jst wasn't ready to carry another person. So, I do apologize. I wish I had some advice for u.... Good luck and I'd love to hear about u and ur little one's progress!!

I'm sorry to hear about your miscarriage.

I'm 9 months post op and I am 4 months pregnant. I am doing just fine. We are no different from a regular pregnant women besides our stomach. If you are following your normal diet after surgery then you are fine. There isn't any need to freak out, just take all your vitamins and eat the good nutritional food. These no right or wrong time to get pregnant. It's just said to wait but no one said you had too. So relax and enjoy it :)

Hi ladies, I had my sleeve aug 2012, I'm 35 weeks pregnant and have only gained 7 pounds. Dr told me today that my baby weighs only 4.2 pounds and should be around 5.5 pounds by now. Going to have another ultrasound next Tuesday and if baby isn't gaining anymore weight they will schedule my csection. Any ideas on how I can gain weight fast? I'm trying to eat more Protein and ensure drinks. I want a healthy baby. :( thanks for any ideas.
