Hi there. I was 6 months post-op when I found out I was pregnant. I am now 29 weeks pregnant and have gained a total of 7 lbs. Eating has been more than my normal the past month but that is because I am further along and eat 6 mini meals a day instead of the usual 3. I have had a completely normal pregnancy thus far (this will be my 4th baby) and I feel great. It is so much nicer being thinner this go around than so heavy like before. Good luck and if you have any questions, feel free to email me.

I had my WLS 7/14/03 with a start weight of 243. I found out I was 13 weeks pregnant 11/25/03. My weight at that time was 166 and now at 26 weeks I weigh 173lbs. I eat several small meals a day.

I am currently 28 weeks pregnant. I was a year post op when we conceived. I started at 250, got to 164 and have gained about 12 pounds so far. Not really eating different maybe more often. Just had an dr appointment today with an U/S and everything is perfect with the baby.

I don't know about eating any thing different, but do make sure you get good prenatal care and take all you vitamins. Congratulations and good luck
