Guest guest Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 I am not sure what everyone is gaining but i don't think they gain much, just a normal amount. I would not be alarmed at 3 lbs when you are this far along. You are doing great HUGS, ROBIN, NY Age- 41 Due Date- July 27th, 2004 OPEN RNY 10-18-02 378/246/170???

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 I weighed 199 when I found out I was pg, at lowest point I was down to 161, and as of doc visit this morning, I was 174. I would NOT worry about 3lbs at all. The last trimester " normal " weighted women tend to put on about 1 lb a week.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 I am 33 weeks pregnant and have gained about 15 pounds. I was down to about 219 from 333 when I got pregnant. I didn't start gaining weight until about 20 weeks. I have been hungry so I eat. I still can't eat big meals due to the RNY gastric bypass. I was wondering how fast after having the baby did anyone start losing the weight. I know that it is OK to gain weight during pregnancy. I am only gaining baby weight. I can tell by looking in the mirror that the weight is all in my belly. I am prone to have big babies. My first was 9.2 and the second 7.15 on my due date. When I go over they get big fast. Any info would be great. Thanks Lori Hines RNY 7/22/02 EDD 1/26/04 by induction...boy! 2 boys 3/8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 , Hi, I was wondering the same thing myself. I am almost 22 weeks along. I have gained maybe 6 pounds so far. It's freaking me out a little since watching that scale go up was never my favorite thing to do. But, it's so much different. I really am not showing at all. When I am at home with my hubby, I show him my tiny little belly that's growing..slowly. I just recently started wearing some maternity pants since all my regular stuff is just way too snug and uncomfortable. It was hard for me to go back to elastic waisted pants after I swore up and down that surgery I would never own a elastic waisted pants ever again in my life!! I am around 150-155 now (was down to 142 prepregnancy) and wear anywhere between an 8 to 12 pre pregnancy. I have bought medium pants and a few small or medium shirts. The pants fit wonderfully!! I have to hike them way up so they don't look so baggy in the belly area. They do look good on. I haven't worn any maternity tops yet, I don't have the belly for them yet and would feel silly. But I tried them all on and they fit just fine. Tons of room for a belly. They looked tiny before I put them on, but there's tons of room. Like you, I am concerned about gaining too much. I wish there was a way to know for sure what you will gain and that it was a sure thing that it would all come off. I just pray that I make all the right choices when I eat. Lately I have been having issues. Everyone thinks I don't eat enough. I have been craving junk food. Have had small bits here and there....no old habit time of eating. I just don't know for sure if I am eating enough or not to be honest and I am also afraid to eat more. This is too confusing!!! Let's just pray we do the right thing all the way around and try not to worry too much about the weight gain. We do have growing babies that are way more important than 20 pounds!! Just wait until you feel them move, it's wild!!! Hope I was some help...we made need each other!! Lots of luck to you!!! Beverly Popolo Pittsburgh, PA RNY 4/10/02 335-----142....lost 193 pounds!!
