Dealing with weight gain in pregnancy

Hi gals....I'm 4 years post VSG and 1 year post LBL....and 19 weeks pregnant :) I do a video blog so wanted to introduce my self and post a link to my most recent video. Its about dealing with weight gain in pregnancy since it can be hard mentally/emotionally when you've had weight/food issues in the past.

I've been watching your videos since MY LBL with abdominoplasty. I'm 6 weeks pregnant right now and 8.5 months post LBL. Next month I'll be 3 years post gastric bypass.  I relate A LOT to your videos!

Hi,

 

I'm really glad you posted this video. I'm about 22 months post vsg and about 150 lbs down. I'm 8 weeks pregnant and I've gained about 5 lbs in the last couple of months and my brain tells me I shouldn't be gaining weight yet. The baby's maybe half an inch long. Maybe some of it's water weight. I don't know. I feel bloated and some of my pants are too tight. And then today, a coworker said my ass was getting bigger. He's a friend who knows I'm pregnant and I know he was just joking around with me but I know it's true and I just cried off and on the rest of the day. So basically I'm gaining weight and my emotions are crazier than usual. Not sure how I'm gonna handle this for the next 7 months

Don't worry, even if the baby is stilI small some of the weight gain has to do with extra body fluids, blood, & a growing uterus. Just eat like you know you are supposed to and your body's going to do what it wants to anyways. Good luck
