I have lost 60lbs and am 3 months out. I look and feel great but have become so baby crazy!! I know docs say to wait but all my tests come back great, I can eat almost anything (I took a few bites of pizza because I was curious), and I'm feeling great! Idk what's your thoughts/opinions? Obviously most of you will say wait but I'd like to know the pros and cons for those of you who have gotten prego before 12 months.

Take it from someone who is in the thick of it... I am 6 weeks post op and just found out I am pregnant... I am having to drastically change and monitor my vitamin intake... I have to aim for 1500 calories per day... its a HUGE amount. My restriction is back like I am eating my first meal again. Its HARD. We had a birthcontrol failure and even though I am happy because we really want another baby, I am terrified and wish it hadnt happened so soon. Plus this early I am considered high risk so I have way more Dr appts and have to juggle those with seeing my surgeon more as well.

I would say wait I understand your desire. I was on birth control, got pregnant at 6 months post OP. I've gone through a lot. My stomach constantly hurts, I struggle with food again, I struggle worth liquid, I was at the phase where I could eat anything. But I'm back to the beginning everything feels like a ton of bricks hitting my tummy. I've had kidney stones from dehydration, and I would rather do the beginning of surgery a thousand times over! With gas pain and all. My baby is doing great but if I'd waited maybe things wouldn't be so bad for me.

I definitely don't regret my baby ever! I've had two fertility babies previously and ever so grateful I had a surprise pregnancy but wish I would have waited a year out. I'm considered high risk due to the sleeve. Extra care extra Vitamins extra precautions and everything. Ultimately its your choice the doctors can tell you no. But its your body! Just make sure you're where you want to be. I still haven't hit goal, I'm in a four pound bounce. I'm not truly concerned with weight because each of my last pregnancies were within normal gain. So I'm just praying no gestational diabetes. But good luck in whatever you choose. I'd just wait tool your a year out. Good luck!

I will tell u from experience it sucks and u sweat every little thing. The worse for me was the tiredness cause its way worse than a normal pregnancy however im four months pregnant and got pregnant four and a half months out from surgery and im doing great. Baby is growing but i have tons of ultrasounds and my first blood work was eight pages long so expect lots of testing. Its not the worse thing but its so hard and emtionally i cry when that scale goes up so u have to prepare for what will come mentally cause that has been my worst and hardest thing

The most important thing is the baby! You want to be able to make sure your baby can be a safe place for it to grow! Truly, you only need a few extra hundred calories a day to sustain a pregnancy, but so early out it would be best to wait.

I totally feel ya. I'm a little over 7 months out and I have baby fever bad. But I just started thinking of things that I want to do before I get pregnant and focus on those things. Like right now, I'm training to run a 5k. I want to be as healthy as possible when I do get pregnant so I'm just focusing on that. One of the main reasons I had surgery was so that I could start a family. I'm planning on trying at the end of the year (with the ok from my doctors). Good luck!

I have a support system now that when the urge gets really bad I text them and they talk me down. I would like to loose another 40lbs before having a child but I'd be happy with 15-20. My husband and I are going to start trying in May.
