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 am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
