Post op FIRST time pregnancies



Recommended Posts

Extremely happy to share that I did get pregnant 7 months post op after trying for 17 years. This won't be our first but our daughter is 17. My Dr always said if I lost weight, my hormones will reset and it will work for me but I never believed her. Just thought it was over for me. 7 months later I was preggo and almost hit the floor literally. My husband and I didn't believe and test, not even the blood work, only the sonogram. I gained 68 lbs and now that my son is 8 weeks, I've already lost 48 and 32 of that was within 3 days of labor and all of it was before I even began working out. Now I'm about to start working on the last 20 and I'm feeling AMAZZZZING!! Still trying to lose the cravings I picked up during pregnancy but it's a process like all things....Good luck to you all trying...it will definitely happen now!

Oh this makes me so happy!!! Hubs and I have been trying for 16 years for our first! I have PCOS, I think I've had it all my life really but unfortunately I wasn't properly diagnosed until my early 30s. I'm 38 now, racing the clock :) My surgeon knows I want to get pregnant, he wants me to wait at least a year, but I don't think 6 or 8 months post-op would be so bad :)

I haven't been on this forum in forever but I'm looking for a couple friends to go through this journey with. I'm 20 (almost 21) weeks along with my first (lil' boy). I was 11 months out when I found out I was pregnant. I still had about 30lbs to my goal. So this whole weight gain thing is starting to get to me a little bit (mentally and emotionally). I had gotten down to about 210 (from 299) and was 216 when I got pregnant and now I'm at 230. I know I'll be able to work on this again when the baby gets here but for right now, it's just challenging. Anyone else in the same boat? :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
