Just an update for anyone interested in pregnancy after sleeve... I had my baby May 14 and he was a healthy 8 lbs 11 oz and 21 inches long. He can 58 minutes before his due date. I gained a total of 30 lbs in the pregnancy and lost it all by 9 days after he was born. I have lost an additional 2 lbs since. I was 265 lbs before surgery in July 2013. Got to 183 lbs and decided to get pregnant 1 year after surgery (one of my main reasons for having surgery) and am now currently 181 lbs. Hope to reach

For anyone who is interested. I have gastric sleeve in July 2013. I started at 265 and plateued at 183 for a few months before getting pregnant. This was one of the reasons I had surgery. Anyway, I am currently 22 weeks 4 days and things are going well. I have gained 8 lbs so far which is right on track with keeping it at 20 lbs gained for the whole pregnancy( as recommended by doctor.) I am currently 191 and dreading seeing the scale go up to a 2 again. I know I will be ok to lose it all after

For anyone who is interested.....I am 15 weeks pregnant now. Everything is going great. I had posted at 10 weeks that I had gained 2 lbs but now I am down to 1. Started at 183 and currently 184. I eat all the time. I am always hungry. I still have a lot of restriction in my stomach so I can't eat much at once. Instead I eat like every hour.

I had surgery on July 30, 2013. Starting weight 265. I lost 80 lbs and have been maintaining that for about 4 or 5 months. I am currently 10 weeks pregnant. One reason I wanted to have surgery was so I could have another baby. My surgeon told me to wait one year so we did. So far I have gained 2 lbs. Probably because I started eating a lot of carbs the past couple of weeks. I started out eating really healthy during the pregnancy, following my high protein diet and eating a salads too. But now meat

It has been a long time since I have been on the site. Back in April I hit 183 lbs. Down from 265. Surgery was July 31,2013. I pretty much stopped losing weight and leveled out which was not a big deal to me. I would have liked to lose more but I am happy at this size right now. Anyway I am a teacher and I was out for summer break. I did a lot of sitting around the house and starting snacking a lot. Also going out to eat and on vacation. I was eating whatever. In June I was weighing 187 and then
