To those pregnancy after sleeve, how is your dietary intake and what do you eat.

I am not quite 4 mo po from my sleeve and pregnant. I saw my observations today and he is concerned with the amount of ketones in my urine, he is telling me I need to be taking in 1500 calories. I barely get 500 in a day.

I haven't been pregnant post sleeve, but I think you should be able to get in more than 500 calories a day at 4 months post-op. What are you eating in a typical day right now? What is limiting your ability to eat more aside from your restriction? Are you experiencing nausea, vomiting, excess acid, or difficulty swallowing?

I am experiencing nausea anytime I eat anything. Also I am truly not hungry it's really odd that I have to force myself to eat.

Is the nausea related to the sleeve or to the pregnancy? Can your surgeon or OB/GYN give you anything to help control it that won't adversely affect the baby?

I can imagine it's pretty tough to find things that don't upset your stomach when you are fairly newly sleeved AND pregnant! Maybe try to focus on calorie-dense foods if you can handle any of them. I had to get my calories way up while training for a half marathon so I started eating a lot of cheese and nuts to help pack in the calories, without eating much more food.

Thanks, I will give it a try. My doctor did give me a script for Phenergan, so hopefully that helps.
