Weight Gain

[Guest guest]

Hi , I am currently expecting child no. 2 (#1 post-Open RNY),

and I have gained 33 pounds so far. I have to go to the doctor every

two weeks and at my last visit, which was this past Monday, I didn't

gain anything from my last appointment. I think my weight gain my be

leveling off. Also, I must add that I am measuring three weeks ahead

of my due date and also the baby is measuring three weeks ahead.

They are predicting him to weigh over 10 pounds at birth. My first

child, pre-WLS, weighed 7lbs, 3 ounces. And to answer you question

on the month-to-month gain, I think again it depends on each

individual person. (Note also that my appetite increased when I

became pregnant and has stayed that way....I " hear " it goes back to

pre-pregnancy amounts once you give birth. I hope it's true! LOL)

Hope this helps. I think it really depends on each individual

persons body. I went into this pregnancy expecting not to gain

weight, or very little and have been surprised, to say the least. I

had my Open RNY on Feb. 19, 2002 and lost 140 pounds before becoming

pregnant at 1 year post-op.

Again, hope this helps...(I know, it's a little depressing! LOL)

GOOD Luck!

I know there is a million posts on weight gain and I have read them

all, but need to hear from people. I am 18 months post op and 21

weeks pregnant and gained 20lbs. My appetite has double, if not

tripled since I got pregnant. I can eat anything with no trouble

and feel just like I did before I had my surgery. Is this normal or

am I in real trouble here? Will my appetite change back after the

baby? This is baby #1 for us. I would love to hear from anyone on

the total weight gain as well. Thanks so much!
