    Hypo and worried!

    Here is the run down... Had vsg 2 years ago. Lost 180 pounds. Pre-vsg I had a slew of health issues. PCOS, high lipids, high blood pressure, diabetes...you name it, I had it. Now...I am 10 weeks pregnant. I see a high risk ob with consultation from my Bari surgeon. However, I now have to eat every hour or two and for the first time in my life, I am constantly hypo! Docs are ok with 1 hour post meal bs at 70. My body is not. I also had two miscarriages pre-vsg and was constantly hyper with them. I am struggling to keep weight gain at a minimum but loading carbs is zapping me! Any advice?

    4 months post op

    I am 2 yrs out was 3 pounds to my goal. Found out I was preg. I now have gained 10 pounds in 10 weeks! Ugh, right?!!? I have a high risk OB, a mfm doc plus my Bari surg supervising my preg. I have also been super sick the whole time and now battling with hypoglycemia. It's exhausting. I have noticed all the pregnancies vary soooo much in doc advice. I'm struggling with finding the "right balance" of foods also. I do see one common thing...seems peanut butter is one of the common links to regulate blood sugar, and to not gain weight!

    is anybody out there suffering from pcos?

    I have had PCOS for so long...when I was originally diagnosed it was called Stein-Leventhal Syndrome. I struggled 20 YEARS with it. Every single symptom, I have/had. Wls saved my life. I went from 6 insulin injections a day, to nothing. My PCOS helped me get high lipids, battle diabetes, high blood pressure, hair loss on my head, excessive hair growth everywhere else, extreme weight gain...I could go on and on. 2 years post vsg, my ONLY regret: that I didn't do the surgery sooner! 2 years post op, 188 pounds down, healthy, and 10 weeks pregnant!
