Just sharing. Hello all, I am currently 30 weeks pregnant - & 15 months post-op from VSG. This pregnancy has been rough, not in the sense of morning sickness or anything fun like that (Lucky there!) but I've had my gallbladder out 3 months pregnant & now I just found out even after my hard work of wanting to get pregnant and avoid gestational diabetes, I've learned I'm the "lucky" one & have gotten gestational diabetes.
I feel like a failure & that at times surgery was all for naught, even though I know it wasn't. I'm just ashamed that I'm the one that gets it, but it has put things back into perspective, cause I have fallen off the wagon, eating almost anything & everything I want, and this forces me back to eating how I am supposed to be eating all along. I've been checking my Blood sugars 4x a day, and all has been good so far, so I've at least got that going for me now. Trying to subside all the cravings though, isn't completely fun -- who said it would be though?
No advice here, but I'm struggling as well. My son was born on Halloween, so our kids are close in age.
My eating ended up totally off the rails while pregnant, and 5 months later I can't stay away from the carbs. I know what I need to do, I just haven't been doing it, and being a tired mommy isn't much of an excuse,

I got pg accidentally six months post RNY. However, I'd already lost 100+ lbs and bypassed the surgeon's goal for me (was seven lbs from my personal goal). Though baby is perfectly healthy, I do not recommend getting pg so soon. I had really just started to feel like I was recovering from the surgery and rapid changes, and bam! prostrate on the couch again for weeks in the first trimester. I'm at 33 weeks now and exhausted again. We will be very happy to meet our son soon but I'm also very very ready to have my body be stable for a while...besides breast feeding.
This is really a time to focus on your own body and get your health in order so you can have the best possible pregnancy and be the healthiest during it so your baby will also end up the healthiest it can possibly be.

It happens, it is called phantom pregnancy. It is a condition in which the pregnancy symptoms present but the woman is not actually pregnant.http://motherhow.com/phantom-pregnancy-a-realistic-wishful-thinking/

Anyway, there are so many [http://motherhow.com/what-is-contraception-the-main-methods-of-contraception/]contraceptives [/url]nowadays, that you can easily do without IUD
My surgeon says to wait a year MINIMUM after surgery to try to get pregnant. Ideally you should be at goal and have been in maintenance for 3 months.
I had surgery in December 2013, hit goal in late October 2014, had my IUD yanked in January, and was pregnant 3 weeks later.

Well I'm a bit late on the reply, but congrats! I was in a similar spot where I wanted to lose weight to get pregnant as well :)
Most important thing is to check in with your surgeon ASAP as far as nutritional guidelines, especially if you're having morning sickness. I was maintaining on 1200 cal/day and they advised me up to 1800. I started eating carbs when I had terrible nausea in the first tri and peanut butter crackers were all I could keep down-- 4 months after baby was born, I'm STILL having trouble busting the habit.
You can do it!
