Pregnant too soon after RNY



Recommended Posts

I had gastric bypass July 27th and just found out I'm about 6 weeks pregnant. I'm pretty nervous because I've been struggling to eat enough to keep me healthy nevermind sustaining a healthy pregnancy. Anyone else have any experience with a pregnancy shortly after WLS? Also I'm scared my weight loss will stop and not start up again. Idk there are so many things freaking me out. Not to mention this is baby number 4 and my last one will be one in December lol

I met with my bariatric surgeon today and got some good info. I will be a high risk pregnancy but if I do exactly what I'm supposed to do everything should be ok. I can't take birth control due to other medical issues I've had, we were using the calendar method but I think we missed something lol but I feel a lot better now after talking to the surgeon and she assured me I will keep losing weight and the baby will be fine if I just follow a strict diet.

      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.
