Pregnant After Bariatric / Weight Loss Surgery

BrooklynMommy83

Any Mom's on here pregnant after weight loss surgery?  I'm 11 months post op from the gastric sleeve surgery, I've lost a total of 95ibs.  Now i'm 7 weeks pregnant, no weight gain so far. Just looking for moms who are going through a similar situation, figuring there should be a few of us since the surgery increases fertility lol.

I've never had the surgery, but would love to, but I just wanted to pop in and tell you WAY TO GO on the weight loss!!!  One of my BFFs had it done years ago, so I know it's quite an adjustment.  Look at the amazing pay off though

You ladies are awesome!! I lost 105 before DD#1 but have gained some back through both DDs (I didn't do weight loss surgery though). This is our last baby so after this I'm scheduling a tummy tuck as I have a lot of loose skin from loosing so much weight!

Thank you, its the best decision I've ever made, it truly is a great tool. If you ever have any questions about the process feel free to ask, i'm an open book.

Wow, that's awesome! I was never able to maintain or achieve anywhere near that amount of weight loss prior to surgery.  I have loose skin too that I will tackle after I have this little one lol. good luck on your Journey!

Yayy, glad to have a buddy. 160 that's awesome! How has your appetite been since pregnancy? I definitely feel less restriction but I've heard that its normal and it will return after the baby.  I've been craving carbs, so I eat it in moderation. what are you doing as far as supplements?

Me!  I had RNY in 2013. Lost about 120lbs and have gained about 20 back in the last 4 years, mostly due to a new job schedule that threw off my whole gym 5 days a week routine.  I am still active and eat mostly well.  I have lots of anxiety about weight gain during pregnancy, I'm now 6w2d and I'm really going to try to keep it to 15-20lbs.  How have you ladies been doing?  Did they recommend a certain prenatal vitamin for you?

@BrooklynMommy83 thanks! I do feel hungry every once in a while where I never did before but I actually feel more restriction because I'm so bloated lol. 

@kellinatrin they recommended I do gummy or liquid cap vitamins and they did my levels this week. I'm low in D and iron so looking to add extras for those.

So my nutritionist used to share with us at wls support group that our bodies often give us para sympathetic responses to being full. I used to hiccup when I was full. Now it's the weirdest thing, but I sneeze! This happen to anyone else???
