wow...I can feel your pain. Please go and read my page and pay attention to the last time I posted in 2003 when I fell off the wagon. I hid from the world, until I was ready to know and realize I needed to be the one in control. I found my "WHY" I hooked up with an Angel, I drove success until I was at my "WHY" I did it...Now a life coach, persona trainer and a nutrition club specializing in an obese mind as my own. I love to give inspiration. You have to be teachable to follow your journey. Hope to follow up. make sure to read my last 3 post! Celeste

i don't know if this will ease your mind any..but my surgeon says to not get pregnant for two years in hopes that you will waite atleast a year..(his words not mine) i think as long as you follow your wls diet after baby comes, you should be able to lose more weight.. check with nutrition after baby comes and see what they say...good luck and congrads on the new little one..

Hi it is important to know that just because you have gained 25 pounds does not mean your pouch is stretched. Now if you constantly ate then it is a different story. You have to figure your baby will probably be 5 to 8 pounds of that 25, then you have to remember the aminioctic fluid also adds weight. When I had my first and second child I only gained 20 pounds after they were born I was back at my original weight before pregnancy. Just remember once your beautiful son is born take a few days to rest and then start back with gentle exorcises whatever you can handle. good luck.

I had lap gastric bypass surgery...in 1 and 1/2 I lost 140 lbs..then I got pregnant..took prenatal vitamins plus my regular vitamins, protein, and b-12 shot through out my pregnancy and gained 25 lbs...then after I had the baby(he was 7lbs and 2 oz) it took 5 months to lose that 25 lbs I gained so you can lose it too!!! I did not breast feed I bottled fed. Sherie

Mendy, this isn't an answer but a question to you. What do you mean about shrinking your pouch back after having you son? Does pregnancy destroy what the surgery has done??
