I am having a difficult time eating now that I am pregnant. Everything looks, smells, and tastes gross.

What are some suggestions?

Talk with your Dr or Nut. and see what they say. Really don't know what your nutritional values shoukd be right now, but they should know.

Have you had your band unfilled? I had mine unfilled and this did wonders for my appitite. Especially since I could easily eat a wider variety of food, like rice that is sometimes good when you don't feel like eating anything. A lot of people seem to be really worried about gaining weight, but I have been eating what seems appetizing to me for the last several weeks and haven't even gained a whole pound yet. So, don't be overly worried about that!

I did have an unfill. I'm scheduled to see a nutritionist next week. I think the nausea and gas just make it hard to eat anything.

I just want to make sure I eat healthy.

I have not gained anything. I lost 10 pounds so far due to the illness and lack of good intake.

Congrats on your pregnancy!!! Having that feeling in the first few months is normal. The first 14 weeks were the worst, and now I eat anything I get my hands on LOL (within reason). Talk to your dr and see about Zofran or some other kind of anti nausea pill. They work wonders. Make sure to get your Water in! Especially being pregnant in the summer. Its super easy to dehydrate

Thank you! It's getting better. Those pills sucked. They just caused constipation... No fun there. Now I eat a few more foods than before. I'm still picky and not gaining any weight... Dr doesn't seem worried yet. I'm being seen by high risk Dr's so I just go with what they say. After this nutrition panel I'll know what else I need to do.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
