11 months post op, 15 weeks pregnant



Recommended Posts

I was 373 at my heaviest, 357 pre surgery, currently 255, have gained 3lbs since pregnancy. I am no where near goal. Pregnancy was not planned but I know I wasn't careful enough. Am I totally screwed? Are my chances of reaching a healthy weight decreased because I got pregnant before I reached goal?

PS when will my hair grow back?! :-(

Relax :) I am in your shoes :) I was 11 months out when I got pregnant. My highest was 393 I was around 373 day of surgery and was near 260 when I conceived. I'm now 33 going on 34 weeks with twins. I haven't gained any weight but I did lose weight. I'm now balancing between 245-250. Don't stress. If you really want this baby just relax and see your ob and take it easy. Congrats!!

I've gained 10 now but I bounce in weight up and down. Every body I have spoken with said your restriction returns and weightloss happens just make sure even if you indulge stay as best you can on diet. I haven't been putting enough Water in and eating instead that's how I've gained a bit. But because I want to breastfeed I'm trying to train myself now to start drinking more. I also struggle to keep my blood sugar up. It keeps diving so I have to eat late at night which also contributes. But don't fret the weight it comes off. ;) congrats! By the way I was 7 months when I got preggers hw: 294 dos:261 when I got pregnant: 196-97 currently:207. I could worry I just don't look at myself in the mirror naked it reminds how I looked before all the weight was gone lol I'm currently 21 weeks most of the weight gained since I've started snacking late. I know this is all temporary.

hey there! I am 14 weeks pregnant and 10 month post op! I was 256 pre surgery, 180 at the time of conception, and currently 155. the baby is really messing up my eating and ability to keep things down. I just take it 1 day at a time and stay with the basics.

      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!!
