Hi everyone i just found out that im expecting again. due in early march. Im not real sure of the date as i just had a positive preg test last night. My DD is 16 months old and I had the VSG 3 years ago on 6/29/10. I was just about to get back on track with my protein diet as I had just weaned my DD when i found had a feeling that i was prego. sure enough it turns out that i AM prego.

Hi gals....I'm 4 years post VSG and 1 year post LBL....and 19 weeks pregnant :) I do a video blog so wanted to introduce my self and post a link to my most recent video. Its about dealing with weight gain in pregnancy since it can be hard mentally/emotionally when you've had weight/food issues in the past.
VSG 6/4/2009: I'm 5'4", HW 242, SW 234, CW 155. Size 6 generally.
PS with Dr. Agha 5/14/2012 - LBL, Arm lift, fat transfer to (_:_)

First off, congrats on reaching goal and maintaining. My experience with restriction is probably different from what you'd experience because I was only 6 months out when I got pregnant. That being said, my restriction definitely lessened as my pregnancy progressed, but I'm sure a lot of that would have happened between 6 and 14 months post op anyway. Today, my baby is 19 months and I'm just shy of 3 years post op. I can still only eat about 2-3 ounces of dense protein with a few veggies on the side. So, I'd say my restriction is still pretty good despite pregnancy. As for breastfeeding, I had no issues and breastfed my lil guy for about 11 months. I definitely snacked a lot, but had no issues eating enough or with milk production. After my first baby (pre op) I was starving all the time when I nursed and I gained 20 lbs, I definitely didn't have that ravenous empty pit feeling this time around and I lost about 10 lbs beyond my conception weight during the time that I nursed. So, overall if anything post op pregnancy and nursing was an easier experience, definitely no complications or issues! Good luck!
