I don't know weight in kgs but I'm 17 weeks and 6lbs gained I'm hoping that everything just keeps going as it is my goal is just to be 25lbs heavier at the end of the pregnancy. As long as I avoid the gestational diabetes I think I will be fine. I would worry about it too much. Most from what I've learned have bounced back with in weeks of delivery. Just talk with your doc and get a plan in place also with your nut.

I am 25 weeks. I have gained 19 lbs. Doing awesome so far. My doc says 25-30 lbs gain is ok. Of course I want the least amount of gain possible. Though I plan to breastfeed.

I wAs just over a year post op when I found out I was pregnant. I gained 30 lbs through out which dropped pretty quickly after I gave birth. However, you have to deal with a new baby, exhaustion and getting yourself back into sleeve life. That meaning meals, Protein, Water etc. that is what I didn't do and I gained 30 lbs in 18 months. Now I'm back and trying to lose. Do as best you can to make a schedule that will allow you to get back in to pre pregnancy maintenance

I'm 24w1d prgo. I've gained 17lbs. Started at 143lbs today I am 160lbs... :) I got pregnant around 11 months post op but didn't find out till my 1 year post op appointment. I have to be careful with how much I eat and what I eat because the restriction has gone out the window. I was only able to eat maybe 1/4 of a sandwich before I got prego and now I can eat a whole sandwich. I find myself basically eating all the time! I crave sweets! My dr keeps telling me to stop worrying about my weight and just eat healthy but it's hard! Hope this helps you some!

I've noticed that I've been eating the whole sandwich too but my worries is that I haven't gained. My mom says that my face and body look like they're still losing weight except my belly. That's the only thing growing. I have a soon this week to check measurements. I'm praying to god they are getting everything I intake.

      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! 😞
