4 months post op and I'm pregnant



Recommended Posts

I'm 4 months post op and just found out I'm about 6 weeks pregnant. This will be my third child and in no way was this planned. I'm very worried! I'm worried about having a healthy baby and if my body can even handle this?!?!

I got pregnant 2 months post op... It.has been hard on me because ive had such horrible morning sickness and definitely havent been able to get my Protein or anything to stay in! My baby is fine though, Im just suffering. I didnt plan getting pregnant so soon as this is my first child.. And after everything saying negative for 3 yrs and fertility drs I really didnt think it would be so quick!

I have had such a ruff time since finding out I'm pregnant. I will be 6 months post op this month and I'm 14 weeks pregnant. I've been in the hospital 2 times for nausea, vomiting, and dehydration. Now I'm currently on a reflex medication along with 2 nausea meds. I've had nausea since being sleeved and since becoming pregnant it's gone 10 times worse. I'm seeing my OB doctor every 2-3 weeks and they are monitoring me very closely. So far the baby is doing fine so blessed for that:) I wish all of you best of luck! Let's stay in touch ladies.

I got pregnant 3 weeks after being sleeved. Yeah am not sure exactly how all that worked out. Anyways I am 28 weeks now yes vomiting was bad in the first trimester but i try hard to keep up with hydration. I have lost 30lbs since i found out and my baby is measuring ahead. I am on acid reflux meds because i have it bad but i did have it before baby. Nausea is tolerable you will get used to it! Congrats

I got pregnant 2 weeks after being sleeved. During the pregnancy I lost about 50lbs. Some of the docs were worried because I was so ill and my food intake was limited. Just eat right when you can. Usually the baby won't go without because it takes from you and whatever you have stored.

I ended up with an 8lb, 8oz perfectly healthy boy. There's not AS much to worry about with a sleeve compared to the bypass.

And don't let them tell you that because you're sleeved you have to have a c-section. I've heard if people being told that.

How has your pregnancy gone so far? How many days late where you before you tested?

I'm a little worried too. I still haven't started my period and I'm 3 days late. My man and I never use protection at all.

      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.
