having children after surgery
You should post this question on the post-op pregnancy board. You'll get alot of response. I gained 25 during pregnancy and have lost all but 5 since my delivery on 3/13/07. You just have to stick to "pouch basics" with water, vitamins, protein and exercise. Same applies while pregnant. Pictures on my profile if you're interested.
I had my surgery Feb. 2005 and my first baby Nov. 5 2007. He is 7 months old now and I am the exact weight that I was before I got pregnant. I gained 40 pounds during pregnancy but it really came off easily - despite the fact that I did eat a lot of junk while pregnant. Shame on me! It was a bit nerve wracking watching the scale go up and up but you just have to remind yourself that it is for the baby and it is temporary. Best of luck to you!
