At 12 I made a shake with ensure and 1/2 banana, I'm still drinking it and its now almost 2 I only drank half. How does fetus survive if I'm getting no nutrient? I'm also tired all the time. converted from Lap-Band to RNY 10/2/12

Hi, my obgyn and surgeon recommend to wait. My surgeon says its a high risk pregnancy. Obgyn said no , which I don't care for. I'm going to find another one. I maybe can eat 3 bites of something if I'm lucky. Of course, Italian ice goes down. I'm trying to drink ensure now. I feel horrible, no energy. I had a bag of IV Fluid last night. I told my surgeon I'm never hungry, he says that's a good thing. I don't know if I should seek out a new one. converted from Lap-Band to RNY 10/2/12

He says going under a sedative is so early on. I suspect I'm only 5 weeks. When were you dilated? converted from Lap-Band to RNY 10/2/12

Thank you for responding. I've been dilated twice and doc was possibly going to do another one next week but cannot now. I can hardly eat. He says overtime, if I'm careful it should heal. He said right now focus on fluids, Proteins, I have to increase fat intake and carbs. Since its so hard for me to eat he recommends a higher calorie Protein shake for now. I'm so worried that this baby will be mal nourished. He also says I have to figure out a way not to lose more than 20 lbs during this pregnancy. Idk how ill do that if I have no desire to eat. Currently, I regret this surgery. I pray it gets better. I meet with my obgyn tomorrow. I need to find out her knowledge with this and of she's high risk. I also live in ny, where about are you? converted from Lap-Band to RNY 10/2/12

Hi there, Congrats and wish you best of luck. I'm in same situation as you. I'm 2 months post op, just found out I'm pregnant on Tuesday. I already had a stricture and still can't eat!! I'm very worried about my health and if I can even carry this child or is it safe to do so. I meet with doctors this week, I suspect I'm 5 weeks. Can we please stay in touch as support and to compare notes? converted from Lap-Band to RNY 10/2/12
