transmformme

Ashleigh I think u are handling it right. U should do what u can and see if you can continue or not. Every body is different so you may adjust if you work hard at it. I have known women who were on low cal diets while breastfeeding and did fine. And others who stopped producing milk so you will just have to wait and see!

I'm not sure about the drug situation, but I think it would be hard with the lack of fluids.
When I was breastfeeding my first daughter, I got the flu, and threw up for a solid day. I couldn't keep anything down. I didn't have to stop breastfeeding at that time, but my supply drastically reduced, and it took me a while to get it back up again.
When I was sleeved, I had to stop drinking Water at midnight on Monday night. I was sleeved Tuesday at 8:00 am, and then wasn't allowed water by mouth until about 2:30 pm on Wednesday. Of course, during that whole time, I was receving IV fluids, so that kept me hydrated. Regarding actual calories, I was allowed 1 tsp of Protein drink an hour starting at about 8 pm on Wednesday night.
I'm not saying that it would be impossible to continue breastfeeding after surgery, but I would think you'd definitely experience a set back, at the very least.
