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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
