I'll be 8 weeks in 2 days and I'm only 4 months post op. Feeling ok. Just wondering how I'm going to get all o my calories in. Have you ladies met with your nutritionist yet?? Any tips?

Thank you! I haven't met with mine yet. I'm just really nervous since I am only 4 months post op and can barely get to 900 or 1,000 calories a day. And that's pushing it since I found out I was pregnant.

make sure you take your prenatals and if you're still over weight I'm sure that you'll be ok.. I'm at goal and not trying to gain more than 15 lbs for this pregnancy per Drs orders

When I had called my surgeon/nut they weren't too concerned it seemed. She just said to keep up on my Vitamins and make sure I am getting my Protein, add a healthy snack a day. However, I have lost a few (5) pounds so I'm waiting to hear what my ob says about that today? I'm a little freaked out about gaining weight. I'm 10 weeks now and my pants are getting tight...it's hard after not feeling like this for so long.

I have been feeling ok, exhausted but ok. I have my days though where I'm light headed...it's sooo easy to get dehydrated. Is this your first? I have a 3 year old son...he's very excited! Lol

Just had my first ultrasound yesterday! Thought I was 7 weeks but turns out I'm actually 11 weeks!!! Just glad everything is looking good so far. I still have my nutritionist appointment and I'm curious to see where she wants me to be calorie wise. I've been taking everyone's advice and snacking throughout the day to make sure I'm getting more cals in. Feeling ok. Just exhausted!!! But I think the shock has settled and now the excitement is setting in! I haven't gained anything so that's good. I'm still losing but it's at a slower rate. Looks like through the first trimester I have lost a lot though. But the last two weeks it's only about 4 lbs. hope you ladies are doing well!!!

you can have a healthy pregnancy while still losing weight I so wish that was me I'm 8 weeks and up 3 lbs. I'm trying not to panic and just eat healthy for the baby.

It is super exciting, I heard my little ones heart beat with a Doppler in the office yesterday. That was great! :-) I'm definitely working on staying hydrated...but I feel like it's hard to eat when I'm always trying to drink! Lol

Normal women frequently lose during the first trimester so I wouldn't worry too much. :-) I have heard of women earlier out than you that lost during pregnancy and still had healthy babies! :-)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
