Not losing fast and may be pregnant.



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I had my surgery last November I only have lost about 60 lbs. I have been the same weight for the last 3 months. I know its my fault. I haven't been exercising and I haven't been watching what I eat.

Now its possible I could be pregnant. I still have a week before I test but I feel like I could be.

I would love to be but worried about my weight. I'm 230. I was 8 months pregnant at this weight with my last child. How can I start from here!

Like I said I don't know yet so may be no reason to worry but I'm excited too.

I'm confused...if not I may start trying cuz I'm not getting any younger.

Is that stupid? Idk what happens with my weight loss?

Anyone out there with similar issues or am I weird!?!

Start working out and eating better. Even if you are pregnant it will help you and baby be healthy. Plus working out through pregnancy makes labor a little easier and is supposed to help you recovre faster.

Thanks I did just start working out again these last 2 weeks. I'm just unsure what to think right now.

First let me put your mind at ease a little. I weighed 280lbs when I conceived my daughter in 2008. Plus, I was 38 years old. I had pretty little complications during pregnancy, nothing that effected my child. She was born full term via C-section. ( That was because she had a big head! LOL) My daughter was completely healthy with NO problems. I healed easily from the C-section and by the time I had my 6 week check up I already weighed less than I did when I conceived her!!! ( by a couple of pounds ) So please do not be too concerned about your weight as far as that goes. Eat healthy, get as much exercise as you can stand and try not to worry. And if you are pregnant you can always reinvest yourself in your weight loss after the baby is born. The tool will still be there, just start using it again!

Thank you that is really reassuring!

I will just get back to exercise and if I do end up pregnant at least it will be a healthier one.

I'll keep u updated. Its a week b4 I can take the test.

A baby is a blessing no matter what. It may be scary but in the end everything will turn out fine and that little one will bring you more joy than you could ever imagine. Good luck!

      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!!
