I don't know but I certainly hope so!
I've heard that WLS patients don't gain too much weight during pregnancy and then loose it quickly after and so far I've been losing instead of gaining so seems to be true, but I'm so early into this pregnancy that I can't really say I won't gain much ya know? I guess we'll see what happens. I'm looking forward to the responses you get as well.
105 pounds gone forever!!!!
I was 9 months out of surgery and down 103 pounds when we found out about our "Little Miracle"
My first child 9 years ago i gained almost 60 pounds. With this pregnancy i have gained 16 pounds total so far and i will be 32 weeks this week. I try to eat the same as far as lots of protein, water, No carbonation and very limited sweets / sugar......but my weakness is carbs...........boy can i down bread, fries, onion rings, popcorn,... etc....since i have been pregnant this time around.
From what i have seen and heard from most previous WLS patients the tool is still there....you just have to work it!
So for me...yes the weight came off. I know it's different for everyone. I stay 100% away from carbonated drinks, no execption. I eat whatever else I want with in moderation and small bites.
Good luck!

For me, I did not give my surgery enough time to work for me. I got pregnant 4 months after RNY. I still have 120 pounds to lose and my little girl is almost 2. I struggle everyday with losing more weight. Lose as much weight as you can before getting pregnant. I love my Annalisa. She is a joy and I would never trade her but I do wish I could have waited until now to get pregnant with her. Maybe then, I would be at goal weight. Did that make sense? I am kinda tired and not making much sense...LOL. Good luck to ya!
