9 months out of VSG and 12 weeks pregnant. Bummed out.
First of all congratulations on losing 100 pounds. That's AMAZING!! And Congratulations on having another baby- you will be just fine.
I'm not pregnant but I've been reading through these posts on the pregnancy topic for a few months now. I was just recently sleeved 9 days ago. My biggest fear is getting pregnant right away but I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure that doesn't happen to soon. I've read many posts from women on this site, in this forum that have said that they gained very little weight & some even said they didn't gain anything. Some women have continued to lose weight while being pregnant and they carried their baby to term & he/she was born as healthy as can be. The women stated that they did eat more calories than normal and that soon after delivery the restriction in their sleeve was back to normal again. I think you're going to be surprised how well you do and that you won't gain much weight through the course of your pregnancy. Just be sure to take your vitamins..
I can't wait to have another baby but I first need to get to my goal weight and drop this extra 115lbs that I have on me. So for me it's 2 forms of birth control and some prayers that nothing happens until I'm very close to or at goal!!
Good Luck to you & Congratulations,
XO,
Hilary

Ive lost 100 lbs and im terrified of weight gain. I got pregnant on birth control. Bummed out. I already have a 2 and a half yr old. Need encouragement from mothers who have gone through this which many of you have. Getting pregnant early out of surgery. which form of birth control were you using?

OMG, for personal info, were you taking your shot on schedule? Depo is supposed to have less than 1% chance of getting pregnant. Yikes! Our WLS does not weaken the potency neither as we do not malabsorb.
I wish you a very healthy pregnancy.
