I'm just curious what people have gained or what other doctors are recommending for weight gain during pregnancy?

How far out from surgery are you? I'm about 14 months out and I'm almost 13 weeks. My ob said she wants me to gain 30 lbs but I don't know that she's had many wls patients. I haven't gained anything yet but I'm sure I will...just that 30 lbs seems like a lot.

I had an opps moment on this pregnancy. I havent had a period in like 6 months I have PCOS and 3 weeks almost 4 I tested positive. I actually tested because i vomitted i was almost sure i ate to fast but no i was pregnant. My doctor deals with high risk but not wls patients guess that's why i see my surgeon every month.

Okay, so you are very new then. I saw my surgeon at my one year and he saw no reason to see me for another year, I wasn't pregnant then. I suppose if my ob sees a problem with my weight or baby I will see him if I need to. :-)

I'm 11 weeks and haven't gained any weight either I'm 15 months post op and at goal. My OB wants me to gain 15 lbs for this pregnancy so I'm right on track.

Okay, 15 lbs seems a little more reasonable. Especially because I'm still technically obese, even after losing 140 lbs. Lol

I've lost 125 lbs but I'm still considered overweight hence the 15 lb max

I'm 15 months out and 28 weeks pregnant. I was 10-15lbs from goal when I got pregnant. I was "blessed" with hyperemesis (severe morning sickness) and lost 13lbs from week 5-16. At week 28- I have gained 5 back.
