Weight loss- first 13 weeks

[Guest guest]

Hello, I had gastric reduction ds about 2 1/2 years ago... I lost

about 150 pounds after surgery. Now I am 13 weeks pregnant and I seem

to have a hard time gaining weight. In fact I have lost about 16

pounds. Granted, I was pretty sick... I had bad morning sickness and

I even had a case of Salmanella... that had me sick for over 3

weeks... But, now that the morning sickness is better, and I feel

like I can eat again... I'm still not gaining any weight. I am

worried about the baby, my Dr. said that it is ok to loose weight the

first 12 weeks... but I expected to see some weight gain by now.

Anyone else have a problem with weight loss?

Hi ,

I lost 10 lbs in the first 3 months of my pregnancy and I didn't

begin to gain any until around week 24 and at that point it has only

been 1-2 lbs some weeks 0 lbs other weeks. Well, after gaining a

whole 6 lbs of pregnancy weight (with twins) I am on the losing side

again, even tho I am making sure I eat right and often. Doc isn't a

bit worried since everything is looking really well with my pregnancy.

Right now my two little ones are close to 3.5 lbs each at 30 weeks

and my regularly monitored blood is showing my vitamin levels are

hanging around where they should be... with the exception of iron

which is just slightly below normal and I was prone to anemia even

before my RNY bypass and pregnancy.

As long as your doc is keeping close track of your and your baby's

progress and watching your blood nutrition levels and things are

looking ok, I wouldn't worry about the lost weight affecting your

baby.

Try not to stress about the weight and concentrate on getting in as

much proper nutrition as possible.

Hello ,

I am currently 33 weeks pregnant and still have not gained any weight. I

actually have lost over 25 pounds. I had my WLS 2 years ago in March.

My doctor is not worried as long as I eat. I think I should be gaining weight

because I am eating a lot for me....but nothing.

Don't worry you're baby will take what it needs from your body......just take

your vitamins and drink lots of water.

Good Luck!

It is normal and common to lose weight in the first trimester from sickness

and then you will slowly put some on in the second and the most will go on in

the 3rd. I have gained 35 pounds but it ws from the middle of the pg on...
