I am afraid of gaining too much weight, afraid of not gaining enough, my age and just how much this is going to change everything. I am excited now that the shock has worn off but so nervous. Any support, suggestions or stories woul

May 15th I'll be 2 years post-op and I'm 29 weeks pregnant with a girl.. This is my second pregnancy , but first since being sleeved.. This pregnancy has been so different then then my first.. First of all I've had no morning sickness but have been very tired and I'm anemic and slightly hypoglycemic.. I'm way smaller this pregnancy however I have been way more uncomfortable this time around.... So far I've gained 15 pounds, the first trimester I didn't gain anything but once I get to 13 weeks I started putting on some weight.. I just had a ultrasound at 27 weeks and it looks like our baby girl is still growing right on schedule and appears to be healthy...

I am 4 months pregnant. I found out on January 14th of this year which was my one year anniversary to my surgery. I was down 110 lbs in one year and had 20 more to go. I feel very blessed to be pregnant but am very nervous because I gained so much weight already. I hope I can go back to my healthy eating after the baby is born and get down to my pre baby weight. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Hello all. I am 2 months post op and just found out 2 days ago I'm pregnant with my 3rd. This was completely unplanned as we thought we were done having kids and I'm only 2 months post op. I'm pretty freaked out. Glad to find some other people on here pregnant so close to surgery date.

It looks like I'm due around the end of December. Yea I was scared to death to call my surgeon because I thought they would lecture me. The nurse was actually really supportive and said the main thing to worry about it Nutrition and dehydration. Wow you have lost 100 lbs in 6 months!!! That's amazing. I am down 48 lbs in 2 months. Are you worried about the weight gain and not being able to get it off? I am!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
