Pregnant and worried that I can eat too much



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I got pregnant 3 months post op and haven't lost anymore weight. I have gained 8lbs which the doctor says is great. btw I am 34 weeks yesterday. so I am so concerned cause it seems that I can eat way more than I should be able, like about a cup or so at one sitting sometimes. the other thing is I want to graze all day as I feel hungry all the time. im not eating a cup of food every time I graze but its like I want to feel full all the time. I am worried I will stretch my stomach and after baby comes I will not continue my weight lose journey or that it is going to be so much harder. Does anyone know if the restrictment of the sleeve comes back after you deliver? Will I stop this feeling of always being hungry? Will I start to lose again as I still have about 70 lbs to goal weight? any advice would be so welcomed. thanks

8 lbs at 34 weeks you are doing great! Stop watching the scale if it is messing with you I don't have scales in my house and I turn my back at the doctor. Remember you are going to deliver 7-8lb baby, amniotic Fluid, a placenta, and all that extra blood has to come out. But remember baby only needs 300 calories a day which is equivalent to half of a PB&J sandwich :-) (part of my major was in nutrition )

      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! 😞
