I am currently 11 weeks pregnant 1 year out of RNY. My stomach seems to be filling in and I cannot fit my prepregnancy clothing. I haven't gained any weight yet which my dietitian said is good. I know its to early to show so I am thinking possibly water but I am wondering if anyone else notice this?
You are exactly right and we can do it! :) Feel free to send me a personal message and we can keep in touch if you'd like!
I was told the same thing. So now it is about changing habits again without the benefit of encouraging rapid weight loss, smaller stomach (from post op swelling), and the phenomenon of little to no hunger. We still have a great tool, just not as shiny and new as when we first got it. So now it is time to find how to make the older version of this tool work like new again. :)
I ate pop tarts, a lot of pop tarts when i was pregnant! I was told by my surgeons assistant to give into the cravings while I was pregnant. I can clearly see that that was bad advice ( I'm not making excuses, I chose to eat it, i wasn't forced to). I wont even look at anything like that now, I got so mad at myself because I ate junk but I forgave myself because there is nothing I can do about it now. All I can do is to go forward and work on making my new goals.
peanut butter is my sweet but I think I over do it. I ate ice cream while pregnant, but not since.
Kicking the sweets is had especially because during my pregnancy all I craved were sweets, slim jims and cucumbers. After my pregnancy I was so off track I didn't know what to do. Lately if I want something sweet I will get an apple and some peanut butter. I need to get some protein powder to make more shakes because they help me when an apple and pb aren't cutting it.
I know it is too important to not keep trying. I am going to work on getting more super food veggies in my diet and be stronger when the sweet cravings kick in.
I am scared to. I am currently writing down what I eat, I am watching calories because I've never counted carbs and I am starting to exercise more. I know I can get where I want to be and I am sure you can to. :)
I am right there with you! I lost 90% of my excess weight in 6 months then got pregnant. I had her in July (2014). I gained 30 lbs in pregnancy....20 since :(
My husband and I also tried for 8 years to have a baby, had two pregnancies both resulted in early miscarriages, so we never thought we would get to be parents. We love our baby, and I want to be healthy for her, for him, and for me.
I am so depressed and terrified of becoming 300 lbs again and hating myself for that failure the rest of my days. I avoided my last follow up out of shame. I tried increasing protein And cutting carbs but all it did was stop the gaining.
I was pregnant 6 months post op, sleeve. It was an ordeal. I just posted my story, a new thread titled "6 months post op and pregnant (last year)". Get to an OB right away, let them know you are volume restricted. morning sickness made me lose the little bit of food I ate and my body threatened miscarriage with bleeding twice in the first 9 weeks. I was put on artificial hormones (progesterone) via vaginal suppository.
