It's been a little over 13 months since my surgery. I lost 100 lb by 9 months out. I'm now 24 weeks pregnant with a baby girl and have gained 10 lb. Sometimes I get worried about making sure I am eating the right things, or enough of things...but my OB isn't concerned at all. Everything is looking good and he actually told me that the weight loss patients he has do really well and tend to lose the weight quickly after giving birth.

Well, it's been 15 days since my gastric sleeve surgery and I am down 15 lb. I think in my mind I imagined the weight would just melt off...and for all intensive purposes, it is.
