pregnant- 3 months after surgery

Hi friends!

I am 3 mos out from sleeve surgery and found out I am pregnant! My partner and I are so excited. I am nervous about being a first time mom! . I have been a VERY slow loser, getting about 1200-1500 calories a day! Nothing like the “I can only eat 500 calories a day” stories I see on here - so I’m not as worried about food intake and neither are my doctors. I’ve never been this healthy!

just wondering if anyone else got pregnant this quickly and how it went for you! Would love to hear stories. Did you continue to lose slowly? My pre surgery weight was 251 and now I’m 214, so still overweight. Planning on either slowly losing or maintaining throughout my pregnancy but not sure how realistic that is! Would love to hear from you,!

Congrats! How is your pregnancy coming along?

Good for you! Another reason to keep up your healthy eating. Give that baby protein!!

Congratulations Lane 1988! I was a faithful Weight Watchers member when I got pregnant while 260lbs. My doctor suggested I keep going to WW and maintain weight. I was successful with a lot of group support and effort on my part. Your doc may say something else. It was important for me to avoid pregnancy related diabetes. My son was born a healthy 7lbs as a result (adult diabetes makes large babies). As a teacher and former nanny, I also saw many pregnant moms eat for their comfort instead of a bright colorful array of foods. Those little brains need bright colorful foods to grow properly. Ok I’m off my soapbox. You will learn so many positive changes and have a wonderful healthy child. My best to you!
