jlw1324 18 Posted January 28, 2014 I'll be 8 weeks in 2 days and I'm only 4 months post op. Feeling ok. Just wondering how I'm going to get all o my calories in. Have you ladies met with your nutritionist yet?? Any tips? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soocalchic 1,087 Posted January 28, 2014 I met with my nut and she said to up my calories 300 per day so I'm at 1750 with no prob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jlw1324 18 Posted January 28, 2014 I met with my nut and she said to up my calories 300 per day so I'm at 1750 with no prob Thank you! I haven't met with mine yet. I'm just really nervous since I am only 4 months post op and can barely get to 900 or 1,000 calories a day. And that's pushing it since I found out I was pregnant.

And that's pushing it since I found out I was pregnant. make sure you take your prenatals and if you're still over weight I'm sure that you'll be ok.. I'm at goal and not trying to gain more than 15 lbs for this pregnancy per Drs orders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jen1211 203 Posted January 30, 2014 When I had called my surgeon/nut they weren't too concerned it seemed. She just said to keep up on my Vitamins and make sure I am getting my Protein, add a healthy snack a day. However, I have lost a few (5) pounds so I'm waiting to hear what my ob says about that today? I'm a little freaked out about gaining weight. I'm 10 weeks now and my pants are getting tight...it's hard after not feeling like this for so long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jen1211 203 Posted January 30, 2014 8 weeks preggers here I'm 14 months out. I'm feeling pretty good how about yourself.. I have been feeling ok, exhausted but ok. I have my days though where I'm light headed...it's sooo easy to get dehydrated. Is this your first? I have a 3 year old son...he's very excited! Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jlw1324 18 Posted January 30, 2014 Just had my first ultrasound yesterday! Thought I was 7 weeks but turns out I'm actually 11 weeks!!! Just glad everything is looking good so far. I still have my nutritionist appointment and I'm curious to see where she wants me to be calorie wise. I've been taking everyone's advice and snacking throughout the day to make sure I'm getting more cals in. Feeling ok. Just exhausted!!! But I think the shock has settled and now the excitement is setting in! I haven't gained anything so that's good. I'm still losing but it's at a slower rate. Looks like through the first trimester I have lost a lot though. But the last two weeks it's only about 4 lbs. hope you ladies are doing well!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had an ultrasound yesterday and saw my baby's little arm and leg buds along with a strong heart beat.. I'm eggcited.. It is super exciting, I heard my little ones heart beat with a Doppler in the office yesterday. That was great! :-) I'm definitely working on staying hydrated...but I feel like it's hard to eat when I'm always trying to drink! Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Normal women frequently lose during the first trimester so I wouldn't worry too much. :-) I have heard of women earlier out than you that lost during pregnancy and still had healthy babies! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
