Hi guys!

I'm 3 years post op with gastric sleeve, and 17 weeks pregnant. I lost 6lbs (which I didn't really have to lose) in the 1st trimester. I gained that weight back but I haven't gained anymore. I eat CRAP all the time, sweets and what not in effort to just gain 1lb. I know weight gain is directly related to healthy baby. I just want a healthy baby, is it too early to freak out about no weight gain? I definitely have a baby bump. Any tips?

My best friend always lost 10lbs the first trimester gained the 10lbs back in the second then her weight stayed the same [Shes a steady 125 at 5'6] maybe fluctuating 3-4lbs up and down the rest all while having a visibly large bump. Her Doctors worried about the small to no weight gain but all 3 of her children were in the 8 lbs range and healthy. It largely depends on the woman and the genetics she has to work with in my opinion. Just eat healthy and enjoy your pregnant self and let the doctors do the worrying for now. :)

is your OB freaking out?  have you had your vitamin levels checked?  your anatomy scan (18-22w time range for that) will estimate baby's size - if baby is tracking too small - they will tell you.

 

are you normal, overweight, or obese?  they say for BMI overweight or more, that no gain is just fine.

I am 17w and have lost 22 pounds (8m post op) and my doctors are not concerned.  my vitamin labs all came back normal, I am eating my protein plus more, and feeling good. 

I wouldn't freak out about weight until your doctors tell you to be concerned.

eat a variety of healthy foods - protein - protein - protein and take your vitamins.

Nothing yet from the OB, on weight. All my labs were ok during 1st trimester, thyroid a little low. I was at 134 prior to pregnancy, I lost 6lbs and now I'm at 136. We have our anatomy scan on 12/4. We had an elective ultrasound at 15 weeks for gender prediction and she was a beautiful baby girl and appeared healthy!
