Weight loss and preg after WLS
Ok i weigh 168 and did weigh 275, i know good loss but not where i wanna be, i gained about 100 pounds with my son, i dont want to gain weight like that again, but i have come to reality that i am not loosing any more weight and guss im not going to, i had surgery april 07 and i havent lost any weight since about a year ago or more, just bounce around with the same few pounds, anyone else have this prob? anyone had revision surgery? also what about getting preg after surgery? i have been on depo for 5 years!!! should it be hard for me to get preg?
I can tell you first hand that it wasn't hard for me to get pregnant. I had PCOS since my early teens and never thought pregnancy would be possible without some type of help re: fertility treatments etc. Now I am 30 weeks pregnant. I have gained 13 pounds - which has been mentally tough on me. I am hungry as hell ALL THE TIME and it seems that I will never stop wanting to eat. I have talked to some other people that had babies post-gastric bypass and they have said that the appetite diminishes after the baby is born. I sure hope so because it seems like I can slowly eat and eat, and eat and eat and eat.... You get the idea... I really hope I do not put on too much more weight before the baby is here but it is what it is. It's about the baby - not me and my selfish "self image". I am trying to not be hard on myself about it. Anyway - the people that I have spoken with say that their excess weight fell right off - AND then some after the baby was born. I hope that is the same case with me because I am going to crack down on myself hard after he's here.
Thank you - I keep telling myself that it could be a lot worse. I have friends that have put on 60-90 pounds during their pregnancies. 13 pounds by comparison isn't too bad. PCOS stands for poly cystic ovarian syndrome. They actually have a forum here on OH for it because it is largely caused by obesity.
Actually I do know someone who was 136, got pregnant and is now 203, 2 years later. EEK!
