I am 14.5 weeks pregnant, due June 30th. I became pregnant just before my one year sleeve-versary, sleeved November 13th, 2012, same day a a year later confirmed with ultrasound I was 6wks pregnant.
I wasn't completely at goal but I'd been at my current weight since March, around 260 (before you all gasp, I'm 6' tall which means aprox a size 14 pants, XL/L shirts, it just sounds fat if you're short!)
I had wanted to be at 225 before I got pregnant but those last 10lbs that I'd taken off had taken me 6 months, 225 seemed way far off!
So, we began trying and got pregnant immediately (which is awesome, since pre-sleeve we tried for over 4 years only to get pregnant and miscarry)
I was 260 when I got pregnant, eating around 1000 calories a day, good stuff, like we're all supposed to. Nut said I should shoot for 2800 calories a day, I laughed at her lol... but I increased where I could. Calorie beverages, full fat stuff rather than non/low fat, started eating red meat again rather than subbing turkey, having *real* bacon with my Breakfast (zomg, I missed it, turkey bacon is such a joke) and I've lost 15lbs! What the heck?! Baby belly is growing, I can see that, I need maternity pants, but - yeah, 15lbs gone. It had been 20 but I managed to put some back on. I'm not even having morning sickness, which would explain things!
What gives?! This happen to anyone else? Good thing is I'm pretty sure I won't end this pregnancy higher than I started it. Even with my son (presleeve) I only gained 15lbs.
