has anyone had trouble in pregnancy or birth after vls?



Recommended Posts

I'm 14 weeks along and I was sleeved last November. Since I have lost almost 65 pounds and got a surprise that I am pregnant. My doctor said not to loose anymore weight and to maintain my current weight. He said that the one concern after vls surgery and getting pregnant is nutrition and neurological development of the baby. He has me going to see a nutritionist to ensure I'm eating right for two. I'm just wondering about other women who have had babies after vls and what their experience was, if they had healthy babies, born on time, or any issues. Please share to help put my mind at ease.

I was one year post op when I found out I was pregnant. I gained very little weight and after I had my son... I weighted less then when I first got pregnant. My advise..... , take it easy... Your body has gone through a lot . And now more. Do whatever you have to do to maintain and stay healthy.. Drink as much fluids as possible. I went into labor early from dehydration. . But after the baby is born don't waste anytime getting back on track with either losing or maintaining. Go to support to refresh you on what you should do or may have forgotten. By that time your hunger and eating will be different.

Thanks for the advice :) I haven't been that great with fluids..... its hard cause it fills me up ad I'm not hungry so sometimes its eat or drink. I got Popsicles to try to help. I'm glad u told me about going into early labor due to dehydration because I have to have a c section and can't go into labor so its now my mission to get the fluids in! I have lost only 6 lbs due to sickness but am so far maintaining my weight. If I don't exsercise or do anything too physical and eat a balance if carbs and Protein. I even have to eat something like popcorn or a piece of chocolate in order to not drop weight. Lol its a heart ship..lol. :D No dieting here. Thank you again I feel allot better :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
