Restart and reset after surprise pregnancy 7 months post op



Recommended Posts

I need some help! My story goes...lost 59% of excess weight...255 down to 170...at 6 month post op checkup. A month later surprise I'm pregnant!! Only gained 16 lbs and had a wonderfully healthy sweet baby boy (child #3!) . I am now 18 months post op and weigh 167. I picked up bad eating habits due to nausea. I am now trying to get back on track to lose my last 27 lbs and need a jump start. Any suggestions or support you can provide would be most appreciated!!!! Thanks !!

MyFitnessPal app for your smartphone, track everything you eat and figure out what your TDEE is with an online calculator, then create a calorie deficit through a combination of diet and exercise. One pound of fat is 3,500 calories...so if you create a 3,500 calorie deficit over the course of a week, you'll average 1 pound lost a week.

Cut sugar and saturated fats, eliminate simple carbs like bread, Pasta and rice, focus on complex carbs. Consider a good Protein bar for Meal Replacement when you're on the go and need a meal. And get in the gym, start pumping some iron! That's the single best solution for calorie burning there is, other than diet...muscle mass :)

Bypass or sleeve. I've read a lot about doing a pouch reset for bypass?

      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        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!!
