How much did you weigh
230. Down from nearly 400. I feel fantastic! The doctor estimates I have at least 30 pounds of extra skin on my body. I am 5 ft 8 in. So.... really, fat-wise, I am only about 35 pounds over the top of my ideal BMI if I had the skin removed. My goal is not gain much if anything during pregnancy, in a healthy, doctor approved way of course, and then get to my goal weight (below 200) after delivery. I feel fantastic at this weight!
First baby (pre WLS) I weighed 195 when I got pregnant and went up to about 220. When I hit 220 again after she was 9 months old, I decided it was time to "do something drastic" (surgery). This pregnancy, I started at 136 and went up to 154. He is 11 weeks old and I weigh 131. I'm hoping to get down to 119 before my surgiversary in August!

I was about 186-187 when I got pregnant. I got down to about 175 near the end of my first trimester. I am now almost 32 weeks along and am up to about 203-206 (depending on the day).
236 when I got pregnant. 36 lbs from goal and 16 months out when it happened. I lost down to 224 the first trimester but it leveled out and at 35 weeks I've gained just over 20 lbs.
