How much did you gain?



Recommended Posts

hey ladies,

How much weight have you or did you gain during your pregnancy? For those who have already delivered did it come off pretty fast?

I was 199lbs when I found out I was pregnant and I was I think like 225 when I gave birth. After having my son I dropped down to 196lbs rather fast considering he just turned 5 months.

I started at 178, dropped to 175, then delivered at 200. Within a week or two, I was back down to 181. Started breastfeeding and gained it all back. I fluctuate 190-200 right now. Little one is 5months and restriction is gone it seems. Ready to wean him to get back on track.

I am very worried if I will get restriction back after I deliver. I am currently 32 weeks. I started at 150 and am up to 184. still have about 8 weeks to go, so I hope I don't gain too much more.

I gained about 35lbs. Dr wasn't worried and I didn't let it bother me. I gained weight for other reasons before, at least this time my reason was justified.

My restricition came back a bit but I am going to do a week on liquids to try a hard reset and see if that helps. I also no longer have an apitite like before I was pregnant.

I am 32 weeks and have currently gained 6lbs. I'm worried though bc this week my appetite seems to be increased x10! Hoping to only gain 10ish more lbs in the next 8 weeks.

My daughter will be 1yr old on the 19th. I was 150lbs when I got pregnant, gained 40lbs (190lbs) with the pregnancy. Lost 25lbs before my daughter turned 3 mos. Went up to 170lbs, after staying home with baby, gained 4 more lbs while on vacation.

I want to lose 7-10lbs, as I'm planning on getting pregnant again.

I was able to eat a whole bagel with cream cheese while pregnant, lol.

So far I've been doing well. I'm 23 weeks and up 5lbs. Better than I hoped! I can tell you my appetite has increased and that like cibaogirl29 I can eat a whole bagel with cream cheese (barely). I eat 5-6 small meals during the day and get about 8 hours of sleep most nights. How is everyone else doing?

I'm 29 weeks and I've gained 16lbs so far. Stayed at 184, currently 200. I also notice I have less restriction, but I couldn't handle the 10oz glucose drink for my glucose test, so I know my sleeve is still doing is job! Looking to see what happens after I deliver.

I was 135 at the beginning of my pregnancy and 186 when I delivered. I gained 51lbs which is so much. My baby is 2 weeks old and im currently at 158. Ive been obsessing over the scale and weighing myself everyday and get really depressed if the number doesn't move (which it hasnt since sunday). I know this is unhealthy behavior but im terrified of not being able to get it all back off. My appetite was horrible when i was pregnant, i ate everything and was hungry constantly. It's definitely went back to normal and im not craving all the sweets and junk like before. I just want the confidence and the feeling of approving of my body back.

It also doesn't help my hormone levels haven't quite went back to normal yet. Lol

I am having my baby in 10 days via c section. I started at 150, currently weighing in at 192. I was constantly hungry most of the pregnancy, but as of last week I notice I am not eating as much. Not sure if its the restriction coming back, or if its just that ive run out of room. Cannot wait to see my little girl and start feeling normal again!

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
