I've heard some people gain and some just keep losing.  What has your experience been with pregnancy post WLS?  If you gained or lost - could you share how much?  Also, how far out from WLS were you when you got pregnant?  Thanks ladies!!

I was 6 months out from RNY when I got pregnant with my daughter. I lost weight in the beginning. I only gained 10lbs with her pregnancy, however, right after I had her I lost 50lbs.

I was 2 yrs out when I got pregnant with my son. I gained 10lbs until my last week then I gained another 15lbs... all water. He was 3 weeks early and almost 8lbs. He was a big baby.

I lost 50lbs with him right away, however he is currently 8 months old and I am down a total of 74lbs since I got pregnant with him.

 

This is the smallest I have ever been in my adult life.

Wow!  Thanks for sharing your story Sara!  You mentioned right after you lost 50lbs, do you mind sharing what you weighed (or how much more you had to lose) when you lost that 50lb after delivery?  I'm just trying to guage where you were and where I am.  :)  I have about 60 more pounds to lose.

When I got pregnant with my daughter I was 180lbs. I gained 10lbs to I was up to 190lbs when I delivered. After the swelling from IV's I left the hospital at 205lbs. Within the next week I was down 30lbs, and then by the time my daughter was a month I was down to 165lbs.

When I got pregnant with my son I was at 170. I delivered him at 195lbs... but I had a ton of water weight. I left the hospital extremely swollen and at roughly 210lbs. It took me 3 weeks before I was down to 190lbs. By the time he was 8 weeks I was down to 170lbs. Today I am 155lbs.

I only lost like 5 lbs when i first got pregnant. It was like as soon as my body knew i was pregnant i went into a stall i guess u cld say. And i only lost those 5 lbs from morning sickness. But everyone is different i still work out everyday and i eat pretty healthy for the most part. And thanks! I cant wait to have Roman and start losing weight again!
