Pregnant 20 months out from sleeve
Hi There - I got pregnant about same time out from surgery with my first child. I didn't have hunger at all - then the severe morning hit about 8 weeks in. I've actually lost 15 lbs since finding out I was pregnant. I'm now at 18 weeks and still dealing with getting sick every day - beginning to wonder if the tiny tummy has made it worse?? Been taking zofan but doesn't do much. t am finally gaining a little back but still not really hungry and into my 5th month. I took gummy pre-natals when I could, drank lots of milk/yogurt for calcium. OBGYN doesn't seem concerned at all by my lack of weight gain but I need to gain 2 to 4 pounds each month for the rest of pregnancy. Don't know if that helps.
Hello and congrats on your operation and also on your pregnancy. I have had two post op pregnancies, with the first one I was hungry all the time but of course I couldn't eat more than only what I could fit. . .I only gained 45 pounds and that was with being pregnant with twins. Now I'm actually in week 33 of my 2nd post op pregnancy and this one was so much different than the first. . .Also a twin pregnancy, I had really bad morning sickness in the beginning and lost a lot of weight.. . .I don't know exactly how much weight in total I lost, but I know I lost a lot, that was only in the beginning of the pregnancy though now I'm back to normal and have gained about 30 pounds so far. I have to take extra iron, which is receommended for us post ops and also an two extra folic acid's a day. You probably only need to take one extra folic acid a day but since mine are twin pregnancies I needed to take two extra a day. I hope this advice helps :)
Thanks for your responses :) I'm still not experiencing much hunger. I guess I should be thankful, but I am in that stage due to the lack of pg symptoms, I keep wondering if everything is working as it should. My last pg's I had crazy hunger! I'm sure the further along I get it will pick up. I have occasional breast tenderness and that full feeling in the lower abdomen. I had my vitamin levels checked last week. I'm waiting to hear back on that.
I am 24 weeks pregnant and had the sleeve 2 years ago last month. I had morning sickness and didn't feel hungry until about 12 weeks. Ive gained 5 lbs so far and am on track to gain about 20-25 total. Ive been doing prenatal (I was religious before getting pg and in early pg but since about 16 weeks its been lacking) 2x a day and vit D. my md checked my levels everything came back good except vit. D and slightly low vit A. Good Luck the hunger will come trust me lol
