Im sure this has been asked many times....

did anyone here gain back all the weight after the baby?? 
I will definetly watch what I eat..
any suggestions..

thanks dee

It is a given you will gain weight during pregnancy.
You said: you will watch what you will eat...that is a good start.
Do not forget your vitamins and well balanced diet including carbs.

Many people on here will tell you not to worry about it and I do understand that, but I also understand you being concerned about it as well. 

I got pregnant 6 months post op ( which was a huge surprise for me because I had tried for 5 years pre op) and I lost 25lbs in the first three months due to such bad morning sickness, I did end up gaining about  20lbs and had a hard time keeping it on in the last month of my pregnancy. I lost the weight in about three weeks after surgery, but everyone is different. 

I have also lost a little bit more and I am breastfeeding, which is going along wonderfully !!!!!

Good Luck !!!

 I had the lap band put in two years ago and just had my baby girl 2 weeks ago. I gained 27lbs and I have lost all but 10lbs, so far. I'm pleased with the gain as well as the loss. I am going to do the post op diet starting the end of next week to shrink my stomach back down and then get a fill at the end of the month. I have only had one fill since I first got the band and that was 1 1/2 cc in a 10cc band. This tool works GREAT!!

By all means even I  worried  about weight gain during pregnancy but if you want a baby and be healthy it shouldn't be a big worry.I guess I realize this even more now then before because of what I went through when pregnant with my girls.My start weight 130 at 25 weeks when I had them I weighed 163 leaving hospital weighing 173 fluids and things.I then dropped to 150 with in few weeks as told it would.I'm three months from c-section yesterday the 24Th and I weight 142 so I still have about 12 pounds to lose its coming off with some work and slow but its moving.

I had a baby boy and only gained 15lbs through out my whole pregancy and after I had him I lost all of the 15lbs but gained it back because I was breatfedding he is almost 2 and I have lost that and some the only thing I can tell u is jus****ch what u eat and drink alot of water good luck

Hi

Everyone is different so you will get many different answers. Don't limit what you eat as you need it to grow a healthy baby.

I myself have kept going up and down the same 6lbs. At this appoinment today 36weeks I'm up a whole pound. I would prefer to gain and then work it off after baby is born.
