Hi.
I had the GS on July 31, 2014. I'm six weeks pregnant.
I have a daughter (3yr old). We were wanting to have a baby for near 7 years and I was able to conceive on 2011 due to a fertility treatment. So, this is huge news for us.
In my first pregnancy I was overweight (270lbs) and I only gained 14lbs.
I have heard stories of women that had become pregnant after the surgery and they still loose weight. Well, that's not my case and I'm worried.
I have gained 4 pounds already. As I told my nutritionist, I feel I have gained 20 pounds. I feel so bloated, I look like a 3 month pregnant!
I still on my diet, I eat well and as healthy as possible.
Rapid gain weight during pregnancy (not related with eating too much) can be a sign of problems, so I'm really worried. It's not normal to gain 4 pounds with so little time.
I haven't done any blood tests yet (tomorrow is my appointment).
If you became pregnant after the surgery, please share your experience.
Thanks!
