Bloating, gas, burping, tight pouch

[CJsmom84 90]

Ok so I'm extremely bloated, constipated, have tons of gas, and my pouch is so tight it can be painful to consume food. My jeans hate me lol they are tight, no weight gain. I needed to talk to the doc about a laxative. I'm thinking going back to strictly liquid with my shakes mashed fruits and veggies. I feel huge yet no weight gain. A little frustrated and making me consider not having another after this(which is still a few years away). But this pregnancy is definitely more difficult than my previous. More food isn't agreeing with my pouch, I'm having to relearn what's ok and what's not with foods that once agreed. Soften, I tried to get off of it, and I threw up two days in a row.

Now don't be afraid. I'm sure my experience is unique to me. But just an informative journal so you ladies can get an idea what post sleeve pregnancy is like. Now a few things to consider, I am pregnant 8 months post OP, until the month before I got pregnant I had a great restriction anyway.

I do crave unhealthy food but fried food doesn't work in my stomach, I get very ill. I love love love pancakes. But I can't get much of it in. I spend a lot of time eating yogurt, cheese and eggs. I boil my eggs because I cannot use butter in to cook my eggs. I have a cup of coffee in the morning and I'm denouncing carbs again because I let myself eat those before my restriction came back. Baby needs what I can get in. And it needs to be of value. So I'm bank to figuring this all out again.

I may be criticized by a few. But if honesty helps the few who need it. I'm willing to endure the few on here that are holier than thou. (no pun intended towards God, but their attitudes because after this sleeve NO ONE is allowed to make a mistake smh).

You poor thing! Absolutely get on what you can. My baby is 10 weeks old and I had horrible Constipation while pregnant too. Really didn't resolve until after delivery and the introduction of stool softeners. Not sure if you can take those while preg so ask your doc.

I ate a lot if carbs preg because I wanted quick viable energy available and they are necessary for fetal brain development. I had miscarried earlier in the year so I was taking no chances. I did struggle with morning sickness initially bue my sleeve relaxed and I was able to consume about 2x my normal. Restriction is coming back now and the weight is coming off at a descent rate. Best if luck to you and don't beat yourself up. Do what you need too to keep you and baby happy and healthy:)

I'm 9 weeks tomorrow, I should be about 11. But my babies measure small so my doctor moved back my due date. I have morning sickness all day. But hey I know all this is worth it
