Anyone else? 26w preggo



Recommended Posts

Hi guys :) I found this board through a google search.. and I'm so glad I did. I hope you have some advice to share! :(

I am almost 3 years post op and 26w pregnant. I found in the beginning, I had slight morning sickness, but nothing too difficult to manage. Lately, however, I have found that I can't keep anything down! It's not nausea so much-- it just comes right back up. I'm wondering if anyone else had this happen? I watch what and how much I eat.. very small portions frequently through the day, but lately it doesn't matter.

I had an appointment this morning and lost 2 pounds since my last appointment, putting me at only 9 pounds gained in 26 weeks. I got lectured about it, but I don't know what else to do. The baby is measuring right on target and my fundal height is even measuring 3 weeks "ahead." I'm just so concerned she's not getting the right nutrients from me ...not to mention puking 3 times a day is so frustrating..

Before I got pregnant, I was pretty much at my goal weight for over 2 years... and managed it well.. hardly puked, etc. :(

There is a Veterans forum that may be of more help. I am sorry this is happening to you. I hope that soon this will pass and you will deliver a wonderful healthy baby.

I would see if you can go to a clinical center of excellence and see a maternal-fetal medicine specialist, especially one who can do a consult with the bariatric and/or GI departments. Hope you feel better soon, and congratulations on your pregnancy.

      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.
