How much weight did you gain/lose during pregnancy?
So far I have gained 31 pounds and I am about 4 weeks away from being full term. Both my OB and my WLS are very pleased with my gain considering my history.
Not sure about how easy it will be lose it but I will say I can't wait to have my baby and then have my band tightened. I feel like I am eating WAY too much, even though the scale isn't really showing it. I actually miss my restrictive diet and haven't felt comfortable with the amount of food I have been able to eat or the types of food I have had to add back into my diet, even though I know it is good for baby Grace.
I'm not worried about it honestly. I lost alot of weight with the band when I first got it, and I have no doubt that if I follow my band rules, coupled with breastfeeding and exercising, I will get back in shape in no time!

Pre-Op wt : 210 (Nov 08)
Lowest Post-op wt: 145 (Jul 12)
Removal wt: 185 (Feb 19)
when I learned of my pregnancy I was 193 lbs...(give or take on any given day with water weight) I was nine months post op. i dropped down to my lowest of 189 and then when i delivered i weighed 217 lbs.
Now 2.5 weeks after delivery i weigh 197 lbs. and no, it hasnt been hard to lose, I havent really done anything from what i was doing while pregnant. However, I am going to do a five day pouch test starting monday to get myself back on track. I want to get to my original goal weight of 175lbs, and I know i need a jump start and reminder of strict diet....

when I first got pregnant I weighed 177. I am 7 months and I have gained 11 lbs. I now weigh 188. My OBGYN seems to be OK with this. I am not sure about weight loss after pregnancy. This is my first!!

I'm 28 weeks -- 2 yrs and 4 months out from surgery.
Started at 145 and have gained 6 to 9 lbs (difference between the Dr scale and mine and it goes up and down a bit depending on when I weigh).
I've been having extra ultrasounds because of the surgery, and they've said that as long as the baby continues to show normal growth (perfect so far) they weren't going to worry about gain.
I haven't changed anything about how I'm eating except to add extra protein and folic acid.
