    Meamo, don't be scared. Breathe. It has been done before. :) My OBGYN (yes, OBGYN!), got pregnant just 4 months after having gastric by-pass surgery. That was the healthiest of her three pregnancies, her baby girl is now 4 years old and healthy, and she looks more beautiful and fit than ever. You will have to be extra careful and diligent about your Vitamin intake, Calcium, etc. and stay in close contact with your doctors. Here is her story: http://www.endtheweight.com/bariatrics/shieva.htm

    On a side note, congratulations!! Is this your first?

    Don't be scared Meamo. *big hug* Contact your doctor and an OB/GYN. They will help guide you through your pregnancy to ensure that you and you little one are eating enough and remain healthy.

    Congratulations!!! :)

    Thank you so much Blondie! :) will do :) many blessings to you on your journey xoxo

    I had a alcoholic drink for the first after surgery (Dec 18th) last friday (vodka w/cranberry) it went down fine..but the next morning I woke up itching all over my body...looked in the mirror and noticed I had broke out in hives..never in my life had I experienced that...it went away on its own..then it came back around 1am that night..went to the ER..they gave me benadryl and Pepcid. I told the Dr I had drinks..he said there is no telling if that was the cause...so I don't ..but I will stay away from alcohol for now. I have been taking 1 benadryl capsule before going to bed since.

    You will be ok, try to hand in there a bit longer ok? It will get better!

    I noticed I get gas bubbles from swallowing seem to happen less if I drink my Water while I am walking.

    When can you advance to puree with your doctors blessings? Hopefully soon. There could be recipes you can eat soon that will help. Maybe a ricotta bake, pureed deviled eggs, pureed tuna salad, refried Beans with salsa, cheddar, and sour cream, etc.

    If you are on full liquids what about egg drop Soup, yogurt, pudding, ricotta mousse, pumpkin pudding, sugar free fudgesicles or popsicles? Egg drop saved my day!

    have you spoken to your doc about your challenges? Could Pepcid complete help? A pain med? Gas X chewables? Is milk giving you trouble?

    Thank you for your reply :) its just so hard to adjust ..but I have faith I will get the hang of it..I move on to pureed foods on Jan 3rd...Thank you so much for all the great food ideas :) I have been taking zantec in the morning and it seems to help with the gas reflux...

    I'm questioning what have I done to myself...I can barely handle this pain on my chest whenever I drink water.. went to walgreens and bought some zentac...to see if it helps. I also noticed I was not mentally ready for this surgery (sleeved Dec 18th 2013) I want to eat.. and have tasted sweet potato, mash potatoes. ..but I feel terrible. I don't want any more Protein Shakes or broth. I don't know what to do. All I can do is pray...There is no turning back I know..I just want to feel better and eat what I want without pain..sorry don't mean discourage anyone I just don't know what else to do
