I'm 17 years RNY post op & 12w pregnant with my first. I have been miserably sick since 5w 5d & struggle to eat anything much less wls staple foods. I've had to experiment with everything under the sun just to get food in my body. I can sometimes tolerate cheese, sometimes not. I haven't been able to drink straight Water in weeks (I have to do a water/Gatorade mix). On good days, I can eat a salad. On bad days, I'm lucky to keep a Protein bar down. It's been brutal. I have no idea of my caloric intake...it can't be much. I'm down 6lbs, so I'm not particularly worried about gaining & more concerned about getting enough protein & fluids. I'm maybe getting 25oz a day...which I know is not nearly enough but my OB doesn't seem concerned since I'm getting some Fluid. Wish I could be of more help! Congrats on your pregnancy!

My OB said he does a different test for his gastric bypass patients. He said there's no way his gastric bypass patients could tolerate the standard glucose test. I believe he said I would be sent home with a glucose meter to monitor my levels for one week & that would be sufficient. I've also heard dr's using jelly Beans instead of the glucose drink, though I can't tolerate sugar in general, so I'd prefer not to experiment with jelly beans. Ask your Dr about home monitoring with a glucose meter. Sent from my HTC One M9 using the BariatricPal App
