Guest guest Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 Hi all, I think I've posted this before, and I'm sure no one wants to hear this, BUT... I was more than 2 years post op before getting pg, and my weight had been stable for at least a year. I'm now 20 weeks pg and have yet to gain a pound. My doctor is not worried, and I'm not too concerned, but I haven't heard of someone more than 2 years post-op NOT gaining weight by this point. I keep thinking it will pile on in the next few months, and maybe it will, but has ANYONE else had this experience after being more than a year or two post-op? - Alice edd 5/24/03 " sirenity450 " wrote: > > In responce to weight gain/loss....I am now 10 months post op.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 I think that it's not un-heard-of among non-WLS women. My mother, who never had WLS and does not have a weight problem, didn't gain anything when she had my sister. I guess for some women, things just " shift " around without adding extra.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 Hi all, regarding weight gain..I was only 6 monthe post op and fpound out I was pregnant, although I haven't reached my goal weight, it still happened.....anyway, I'm 28 weeks pregnant, and all along haven't gained a pound until this last month when I gained 7 lbs.....so everyone is different, and your weight gain will be different also....now for me being this far along, 7 lbs is good, since with my first child, I think I gained about 50 lbs by this time....what a difference with WLS!!!!

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 I am 21 months post op. I am 7 1/2 months pregnant and have gained 25lbs. My ob-gyn was concerned in the beginning about weight gain, but he is very pleased with my gain so far. I spoke to my surgeon about the weight gain (I was concerned it was to much), he said don't worry about it, just take it off when the baby is born. I do notice I can eat more during pregnancy, and also can tolerate sugar better (not totally, and still can't tolerate milk). I have been having lots of problems with my b12 being low, and also my protein and calcium, at this point, I am more concerned about those issues.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 I got pregnant at about 12 mos post op, but had been plateaud for at least 2 mos with no weight loss before. I'm now 34 weeks pg with no weight gain whatsoever (I actually lost 10 lbs in the beginning). Every check up and test indicates the baby is healthy and measuring a week older than she is. With me, it seems like my body weight is shifting from other parts of my body to my belly. Be vigilant and be smart, but don't worry too much (ha! easier said than done, right?). My doctor has been concerned throughout my pregnancy about my lack of weight gain, but, then again, she wasn't there during my last pregnancy when my doctor begged me stop gaining weight! My body feels healthy (except for this never-ending flu that I can't take anything for) and the baby is incredibly active so I'm not worried.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 My favorite subject! Weight Gain!! ha! I was about 9 months post-op, and 20 lbs from goal when I got pregnant. So far I have gained about 35 lbs total being pregnant, and I am about 33 weeks pregnant. I also can eat more and seem to be more tolerant of sugar than before. I have really had to have the mind set of 'letting go' about the weight gain issue. It is so easy to worry and make myself feel bad about gaining the weight, (and feel like I will never lose a pound again - that hopeless feeling I had pre-op), I have learned to just let go. I will focus on losing the weight after the baby comes. Annie Rundberg edd 2/27/03 rny 8/27/01 Mountain View, CA >From: august101994@...

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 Hi Annie, I'm glad to see you've let go of the whole weight gain issue. :-) It can be distressing to watch that scale go up when we've gotten so used to seeing it go down. And even though I haven't gained any weight this pregnancy (except a few of the 10 lbs I lost initially), I STILL get on that stupid scale every morning before I get into the shower. I think I'm just programmed. I think those of us who've had other pregnancies pre-wls and have seen the horrible toll that massive weight gain during pregnancy can take on your self esteem and body may have a little psychological advantage. Even if I had gained 30 or 40 lbs during this pregnancy it's nothing compared to the 75+ I gained with my son...not to mention the weight I KEPT gaining after his birth. You can feel pretty confident that you won't have those kinds of problems, and that you can concentrate on being a new mom and loving your new little girl...instead of freaking out about how huge and uncomfortable you are. BTW, Annie, where are you planning on having that baby? We could end up at the same hospital at the same time! Rusty edd 2/19/03 lap rny 5/21/01 >My favorite subject! Weight Gain!! ha!

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 Thanks, Rusty. That's good to hear. I do notice myself eating more lately, and I'm actually happy about it. I feel like it helps give me more chances to get in calcium especially. - Alice edd 5/24/03 Rusty Keller wrote: > > I got pregnant at about 12 mos post op, but had been plateaud for at > least > 2 mos with no weight loss before.
