6 months post op & pregnant



Recommended Posts

I just got a positive pregnancy test last night. I am just a week shy of being 6 months post op. I am terrified, and don't know where to begin. This is my first pregnancy ever. Very unexpected.

I reached out to an obgyn & my surgeon. I have yet to hear back from either one. Am I supposed to be jumping on a prenatal right away? Do I quit my current Vitamins? do I take anything more? How should i be going about eating? More? add in carbs (i'm a very low carber)? Like I said I have no idea where to begin, and I don't want to jeopardize myself or the pregnancy anymore than I have already.

Thanks.

@@sleeveittobelieveit - you have done the right thing by contacting the professionals. If you don't hear from them within the next 24-48 hours I would make a trip to the OBGyn office. but that's me ;D

Congrats!

Congratulations on your pregnancy!! Do you know how far along you are? I would start on a prenatal and the OB can give you a script for a better one when you see him/her. When I had gottn pregnant I contuinued to eat as I had been except I felt like a bottomless pit so I would eat until I was full but it was never an issue. Just make sure you continue getting your fluids in and protien.

      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.
