How much did you gain? How much did you lose?



Recommended Posts

Just wondering others experiences - for those that got pregnant, how much weight did you gain throughout your pregnancy? And were you able to lose it all? How quickly! Thanks!

The Water retention is what worries me the most. Even before pregnancy by the end of the day my legs are swollen from sitting at a desk 90% of my day.

There was an older thread about this. Some say they got their restriction back right after giving birth, others not so much! I'm terrified. I'm just two days short of 17 weeks and so far only up 4 lbs. If I focus on animal Proteins I fill up very fast and cannot eat much. If I eat chips or crackers I can eat way more!

I need to start tracking my food again. Making sure I get enough calories, but at the same time not overeating and putting on unnecessary weight.

i think I posted on the other thread as well. I had good restriction up until middle of second trimester. Havent had ANY (or rarely felt) restriction since then. I track using mfp, I even tried 2 rounds of pouch test, pure liquids and the Atkins diet to help get the restriction back and nothing still.

My nutritionist says to gain or lose 5kg is okay, anything more I need to see her.

I'm up 17 lbs at 29 weeks. Started at 130. Apparently that's right on track for a normal pregnancy. Obviously having had the sleeve I was hoping I would be under the average, but as long as the baby is healthy and I'm not gaining more than the recommended I'll take it!

        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!!
