I've been so hungry during this pregnancy. I'm 2.5 yrs post op gastric sleeve, lost 135 lbs, only 20lbs from goal when I got pregnant. I've only gained 12 lbs and I'm 7 months along. I eat really really healthy, but I stopped measuring portions months ago. I just pulled out a 1cup measuring cup and panicked because i realize I've been eating 1.5 to 2 cup portions. And I'm not in pain when I do it. So I'm freaked out! Anyone know if I can shrink my pouch again? Most worried about it once I deliver. It's just I've been so hungry with this baby, she is definitely requesting more food. Or should I start reducing portions now? I know we aren't doctors here, just wondering if anyone has had similar experiences.

I know I've been told that your stomach will shrink down to what you eat. So if you start measuring out your one cup portion sizes again, your stomach should shrink back down to that and you should start feeling restriction again.

Not sure if your able to talk to your bariactric staff, I would defer your concerns to them...

How did you go with reducing portions? Recently pregnant and worried about the same!

I did reduce my portions and I'm definitely not has hungry as I was when pregnant. However, I don't get those stomach pangs when I eat too much or are too full anymore, so that's a downfall. However my babe is only 6 weeks so maybe over time with a shrunk, smaller pouch I'll get that part back. Fingers crossed because that was a great tool for me too.
