Oops...6 Months Post Op And Pregnant!



Recommended Posts

Oh boy!!! What a shock!!! My period was three days late and my hubby insisted I take a test, before giving me my half a glass of wine ( we are on vacation in Spain)

I peed on the stick last night and within 1,5 mins it came back positive!!

My head keeps asking how it happened. I had an IUCD placed shortly after my daughter (she is now 2) was born and I've been avoiding doing the deed when I'm ovulating, but I suppose somehow, something slipped through!

I am thankful for this precious gift and also very scared because this is totally unplanned!!!

Yup. I would never have an IUD just because when I was born, there was one delivered right along with me!!! LOL

Congratulations! Take good care of your health. The baby will take EVERYTHING he/she needs from you, leaving you depleted. You must consult your doctor quickly. Have fun! (now go drink some water;) )

I'm six months out also and just found out I'm pregnant. How are you feeling? Has the doctor freaked you out with worry?

Firstly, congratulations!!!!! So far, so good!! My doctor isn't worried at all, she did a whole batallion of blood and urine tests to check that my nutrient and Vitamin levels were ok, and then prescribed me a whole list of prenatal Vitamins to make sure my levels stay right.

My doctor has experience with pregnancy post sleeve as she and my surgeon are at the same hospital, so I am really lucky! The only thing she said was that post sleeve babies tend to be smaller.

On a personal side, I am almost 11 weeks pregnant and yet to have morning sickness ( don't know if it's got anything to do with the sleeve, but I am not complaining)

Again, congratulations, relax and enjoy the pregnancy and drink lots and lots of water!!!

Congratulations Ladies,

I have an IUD, and last night, I found out I am 19 weeks pregnant. I was sleeved on July 20th, so needless to say I cannot wrap my mind around all of this. I will see my DR., this week to discuss all of these things. I am so worried.

Thank you Cookeeeeeez,

I appreciate your honesty. I would not dream of planning anything like this. As a matter of fact, I got sleeved because I knew I was finished having children. I have four and thought I was done....surprise, surprise...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
