Pregnant at 5 weeks post op!



Recommended Posts

I am 5.5 weeks post op and I just found out that I'm pregnant. Apparently the pill doesn't absorb correctly in your body after the surgery. I'm a little nervous and really hoping that it sticks but also not anticipating it to since my body is still healing from my surgery. They're going to monitor me very closely for nutritional deficiencies and checking on the weight of the baby but other than that they think I'll be fine.

Hey, congrats! A friend of mine was sleeved at the same time as me... She found out 2 weeks post op that she was 10 wks pregnant!!! Woah, yep. So the big difference was that she had to really push the Protein & get energy intake up quick (lots of shakes)

She had happy and healthy little girl 2 weeks ago and she lost 40kg during pregnancy

Oh that's so good to hear! All the research I've done is regarding pregnancy at least 3 months out. I'm still losing weight and my midwife thinks it's fine. I've been sooooo sick though.

My wife and I were supposed to wait 18 months after her gastric bypass to get pregnant. 6 months in she was pregnant (we found out when she went in for gallbladder surgery). We now have a beautiful brilliant 5 year old little girl. As long as they monitor you closely it will all be fine!!! Congrats!!!!!

I can't believe her surgeon didn't do a pregnancy test on her!!! She's very lucky everything turned out well for her and baby, all the meds they give u for surgery can't b good for pregnancy.

How did they not know she was pregnant before surgery? I had to do a pregnancy test not only the morning of my surgery at the hospital, but also the morning of my scope...and they knew from my medical records that I have an IUD and infertility but still had to run the pregnancy tests before they started anything.. that's just crazy. And very lucky that her pregnancy turned out ok. I would have been so freaked out.

Oh yeah, it was a BIG surprise for her and it was a real worry that she had had a general anesthesia and such a major op so early in the pregnancy. She did do a preg test and it was negative pre op.... But luckily it turned out ok.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
