1 year out and 7 months pregnant :\



Recommended Posts

This June, I will be sleeved for two years! On my 1 year anniversary of being sleeved, I got pregnant! Isn't that something? :lol: It was quite a shock, and something that I didn't plan, but a blessing nonetheless.

I've been meaning to write on here about thins for a while but have been so busy. I used to be 170 and wanted to reach a goal of 140. Well, I dreadfully checked the scale and am now a whopping 185. I've gained 15 pounds from being pregnant. I won't lie, I am depressed because of this.

Do any of you sleevers or people who have gotten a bariatric surgery in general have any advice to a pregnant sleever like me?

I am also worried about the delivery and if me and my baby will be ok during birth. My body is quite small... I haven't told my surgeon I'm pregnant either, I'm afraid of his reaction and haven't seen him since September (I still wasn't showing back then).

One year out you should be fine with the pregnancy but I would tell the doctor. I had my uterus prolapse and they fixed it with major surgery and I was pregnant within two months of surgery. But the weight can get out of hand quickly as we all know so I would ask for help.

I've spoken to my regular doctors, just not my gastric surgeon! That's so scary though. I'm glad you're all better but now I'm going to be paranoid about that lol deff will bring that up on my next visit.

      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.
