For those that are pregnant, How many calories are you getting each day? Do you have a daily goal or just listen to your body?

Are you gaining/losing weight at that amount? Are you working out?

I haven't seen my new OB yet and I haven't found much information online about vsg and pregnancy. Just want to make sure I'm getting enough in and still have a healthy pregnancy.

I'm one year post op and still not to goal...maybe about 30lbs to go, so I have room to lose. The past few months I've been maintaining my weight, but now that I'm pregnant I've lost a few pounds. Just worried about eating enough, but not gaining a ton of weight either.

TIA!

I was an odd duck- I had hyperemesis throughout my pregnancy and my surgeon/OB both said eat whatever in the heck you want. I lost 15lbs between finding out I was pregnant and week 30ish? I gained 16lbs back. (So up 1lb from pre pregnancy). I'm now almost 25lbs less than pre-pregnancy. I tracked caloric intake for a bit and I was eating 1800ish in the middle (post puking 24/7, but before I felt like I was going to pop because baby was taking up too much space). I'm breastfeeding currently and maintaining at the 1800 calorie mark. (I'm happy where I am weight wise- and I don't want to lose anymore especially while breastfeeding).

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
