I gained weight!!!!



Recommended Posts

Well, you can sure keep working on losing weight, that's totally up to you. I was in desperate need of a fill before I got pregnant, so it actually works out that I may not end up needed an unfill. But that wasn't planned. BTW, I remember you from waaaaayyyy back in 2006. We banded the same month!

I have very sudden weight gains, which is the same way I lose. Nothing, nothing, nothing... 6 lbs. Nothing, nothing, nothing... 9 lbs. Even now that I'm comfortably into my 3rd trimester a lot of my gain fluctuates around Fluid. I may go up 15 lbs in two weeks, and hold it for a month, and then drop 12 of them. Despite the fluctuating, the scale is undoubtedly also climbing up and I have gained weight, though not the ridiculous amount I would have gained had I not been banded.

Congrats to all you moms-to-be (or repeaters!). I was on Weight Watchers when I got pregnant 16 years ago. I had a high-risk pregnancy (37-year-old first-time mom) and gestational diabetes so I really had to watch what I ate and also had to take a couple of insulin shots a day. I quit WW and followed the diet the doctor gave me, which was similar to the WW plan but had a few more exchanges. It was tough, but when I left the hospital after giving birth, I was down 40 pounds! So it's possible to not gain a lot of weight when you're pregnant, if you're seeing your doctor regularly.

May all of your babies be as sweet as mine!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
