How much did you gain?
I am 15w4d pregnant and I had gastric sleeve February 18,2014 so almost 8 months ago. I was wondering how much weight everyone put on with their pregnancy after surgery. So far I have lost 20lbs since finding out I was Oregon but I've been so sick and not able to keep anything down. This past week I have put on 3lbs and have been extra hungry. Even though I've lost 102lbs I'm still considered overweight until I'm down to 140 so the charts say I only have to gain 10lbs, My surgeon says I don't have to gain any, and the OB office and labor and delivery nurses all act shocked when they see I've lost weight. I am scared about gaining a lot but I also want the baby getting enough.
I had my VSG in March and I am 11w5d pregnant now. I have lost 114 total, 17 while pregnant. I am still obese (BMI 36 now) and my surgeon's guideline is that it is Ok for me to gain 10-15 over where I was when I got pregnant.
I got pregnant at 247, so if I gained up to 262 that would be OK...and really if I did more - then so be it, but it is just that much more work to do to get it off later.
My surgeon gave me a packet of info to share with my OB regarding nutrition and weight gain and vitamin blood work guidelines.
their advice was to up my protein goal to 75g a day, eat 3 meals plus 2-3 protein snacks (like string cheese, meat, greek yogurt, cottage cheese), and to not deprive myself if I am hungry. Make good choices, but it is OK to eat if I am hungry.
My daily calories have been hitting 1200-1500 these days since I started taking Zofran for nausea. I am still losing 1-2 pounds a week and my docs are OK with it b/c my vitamin bloodwork all came back normal so far.

Thanks for responding and congrats!!! I've had two good day where I was hungry and I ended up putting on 3 lbs but then it went bad again and I just keep throwing up. I'm lucky to get 40oz of fluid and a bite or two of food. I feel hungry all the time but my actual stomach hurts and I think it's just from throwing up. I'm pretty sure it's not morning sickness because I've been like this since surgery but my surgeon says I'm ok. I haven't done lab work yet but plan on it this week. I have a weird baby bump with a saggy gut lol but I'm so worried the baby isn't going to grow right.
I am 37 weeks pregnant and gained 28 pounds. I had RNY almost 3 years ago and lost 207 pounds by the time I got pregnant. I had been maintaining weight loss for about 8 months prior to getting pregnant. I didn't really gain anything till 2nd trimester then leveled off again and in last 2 weeks put on 5 pounds. Not a good number to see but doctor is pleased with what he calls normal weight gain.
