Recommended Posts

Thanks I'm just really concerned about getting in enough nutrition and Vitamins.

I know that feeling. I see my surgeon this coming week.

Has anybody else been suffering with severe nausea? I don't know whether its the pregnancy or the surgery or a combo but I can hardly stand it. I got a script for zofran but it doesn't really help.

Has anything given u relief from the nausea?

Not really. Laying down helps a little but I cant do that all day.

At first zofran didn't work for me either. I think it was a combo of both. The baby will take what it needs in the first trimester so don't worry so much. At all my ultrasounds, my baby was growing great and is actually a little on the bigger side! I'm 25 weeks post op and 24 weeks pregnant.

Saw my surgeon today. He isn't worried at all and is very happy with my progress. I have to take 2 prenatal Vitamins a day now instead of one and I need to start eating more since I only eat 2 small meals a day. He wants me to do 3 with 2 Snacks. I'm just so scared of gaining weight!!!

So far in 25 weeks of pregnancy I've lost about 65 lbs and in the last 3 months, I've gained 4 back. But my baby has gained a whole pound in 30 days and my uterus has grown, so you have to factor that in as well. And I eat about 1500 cal/day and not the most healthiest foods either. I just walk for 30 mins a day and that seems to keep me on track.

I know I'm going to gain weight cause right now I'm less than 30 pounds from my goal. He just wants me to gain the "baby weight" I believe thats anywhere between 25-35 pounds and thats it. So we have a plan in place so I'm happy about that. Just gonna take it one day at a time and going to do the best I can to make sure we will both be fine.

i am 11 months out of surgery, and i am 28 weeks prego. i actually lost 10lbs and i am 20lbs from my goal. so my dr said as long as i eat i am fine , she didnt care about me gaining as long as baby is growing. so just dont starve yourself and stick to your diet you will be fine. but it will be very hard to stick to your diet bc more food will be easier to eat :( and further along in pregnancy you will be able to intake more food to. jerz and i just talked about that yesterday actually.

Don't worry about gaining weight , just remember to eat right...my situation when I got pregnant was different , I was morbidly obese and they didn't want me to gain anything and I didn't the whole 9 months...just made sure I was eating right and she came out 8 lbs and 2oz....so this was prior to me having the weight loss surgery but it can be done , eating right and not gaining

Thanks for your replies. Its helping so much. I just don't want to get off track. Being able to get pregnant was one of the main reasons why I had the surgery. Just didn't expect the fear of gaining weight with pregnancy. If my surgeon says that I will be absolutely fine if I follow my program then I need to suck it up and enjoy this :)

      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.
