8 Months Post Op, 5 Weeks Pregnant - Weight Gain & Lost



Recommended Posts

So I just found out I am 5 weeks pregnant, I'm currently 8 months post op and in total has lost 81lbs....oh yeah just gained back back a few in the last few weeks alone.

Not sure what the average weight gain is & if the weight was lost quickly after?

If anyone has had their baby, can you tell me if the weightloss continued on after the baby was born......

I'm 24 weeks pregnant and I've gained 9 lbs so far, looking to gain another 10 before I'm done. The plan is to get back to my goal weight ASAP after the baby comes.

I am 9 months post op, 16 weeks pregnant and I haven't gained yet. Which the dr are concerned with. I heard though after the baby your restrictions go back to normal... I am on a Facebook group that a few girls have had children and they easily lose the weight after... but that is with work.

I got pregnant very soon after my surgery. I am 29 weeks today and have lost 30lbs and have not gained a thing. At first i was losing about 5lbs a month or more. Now i am losing about a lb or 2.

I got pregnant 10 months post-op. I was down 100 and about 15lbs from goal. I really didn't gain much while pregnant (7lbs total). I was 152-ish when I got pregnant (size 10). This morning (2.5 weeks after baby) I was 134.2. I'm perfectly happy with my loss and just need to tone up. I'm 4'11 so my weight puts me somewhere between a size 4-6 depending on brand. I'm wearing size 6 non stretch denim shorts today. I'm also breastfeeding baby, too and that helps with weight loss- but also makes you ravenously hungry.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
