15 Months Post RNY & 7 Weeks Pregnant

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone!

This is my first post and my first pregnancy. I am 15 months post

RNY and have gone from 280 to 148 and a size 8. I am absolutely

thrilled with the progress from my surgery. I was trying to get

pregnant, but thought it would take 6 months or so, nope only 1

month. I am absolutely thrilled. I am also very concerned about

the weight I will put on. I would be very happy to stay under 25

lbs. I have already lost 2 more lbs, because I started walking 2

miles a day so concerned about the weight.

Does anyone have any input on long term post ops and pregnancy?

What is the normal weight gain for us? Is there any reason RNY's

can't deliver naturally? Are we automatically considered high

risk? Input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I was only 6 months post when I got pregnant but was about 10 pounds from goal.

I'm delivering this coming Friday and have gained 18 pounds. I gained 6 in the

last week because I started retaining water really bad. Just keep your food

choices healthy and keep up with your exercise. I probably wouldn't have gained

so much weight if I had kept up with my exercise but I didn't. My doctor has

assured me that most if not all of the 18 pounds will be gone within 2 weeks.

Since this is my 4th baby I know I'll lose it quickly. I worried about the

weight gain for most of the pregnancy and it really caused me to not relax and

enjoy the pregnancy. Now that I'm at the end of the pregnancy I wish I had not

fretted over it so much. It was so nice to watch that scale going down after

surgery and hard to watch it go up during pregnancy. Just remember that the

goal is a happy, healthy baby.
