8 months post op and pregnant



Recommended Posts

So last night and today I got positive pregnancy results. My question is....what in the world do I do now?? I'm going to the doctor today for a pregnancy test.....do I need to call my surgeon too? I'd love any help on this. I'm extreamly happy cause this was one of my main reasons of having this surgery but freaking out big time!!!!!

Well, I would start taking some extra Vitamins specifically to help support your system; as welcome as he/she is, there's a new drain on resources and your body is still learning to cope. I'd check in with my surgeon and a dietitian and get their recommendations.

Congratulations!

Look up jerz oh here, she's a pro at the whole pregnant after RNY thing. I'd let your surgeon know and you'll need to see OB ASAP :) also use caution with taking extra Vitamins, some are toxic if you take too much. I can't tell you what you'll need extra of, but ask your surgeon to be safe! Congrats!!!

      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.
