Hi Guys Ive been searching for a thread with information on this and have found bits and bobs but I thought let's start a communal thread with as much information as possible regarding pregnancy following gastric bypass. I am 14 months post op and 6 weeks pregnant ?? I spoke to my nutritionist who has advised: Exchange my regular multivitamin for pregnacare 5mg of folic acid instead of the recommended 400mcg 3-4 portions of calcium a day (milk, yoghurt, cheese) I would be getting a pregnancy letter from her next week so will post more information once I receive that. My midwife has advised: I should aim on gaining a max of 14lbs over the pregnancy I will need additional scans to check baby's growth I'll update with my progress and other information I gather. Would love to hear from you regarding your experience, what your nutritionist or surgeon recommended and any other fun facts ??
