Question:
What seems to be the average weight gain during pregnancy post-op?

I am so afraid of regaining the weight I have lost..I started at 333 and I am down to 151...I don't ever want to be over 200 again.    — nguerra (posted on December 23, 2002)

I started at 195, I am 4.5 mos along and have not gained a pound so far. I do believe the print out from Alvarado's site said something along 15-20lbs. But, it is whatever your baby demands, ya know? Please don't put a number limitation on what you're going to gain- as you just don't know. Pregnancy isn't the time to be dieting, period. You just need to eat what is good for you & your child. Try not to look at it as gaining weight, you are carrying a child- one that more than likely takes up most of the weight you will gain.

I gained 8 pounds total. Delivered a full term, healthy 7 pound 6 ounce baby boy in Dec 03, and am breastfeeding. Eat healthy, drink you water, take you vitamins. D
