Found out yesterday that I'm 5 weeks Pregnant



Recommended Posts

Yesterday I found out that I’m Pregnant and to be honest I am scared to death! Scared that I will gain back all the weight I’ve worked so hard to get off and I’m scared I won’t be able to eat enough food to be healthy for the baby and I’m scared I'll make my stomach big again trying! There are so many worries going through my head. What do I need to try to eat more of? What Vitamins do I need to take since I already take some for my stomach? What should I tell my dr? Do I need to see a special dr? I’m so confused!!! I was not planning for this baby in anyway nor am I ready for it but he or she is coming so I better get ready fast!! Any Advice would be such a blessing!

PS

I also posted in the pregnant area but I know not alot of people read there..

There are a few that are either pregnant or have been and they seem to be fine.

Don't worry to much. Just make sure your ob/gyn dr. knows you have the sleeve.

Best wishes to you and your baby!

Look for Tiffykins - she is pregnant about 10 weeks I think and I just saw someone else today too so you aren't alone. I am sure they can help with what you need to do!

As long as you are not in Ketosis and are taking prenatal Vitamins you should be fine. The baby will take their nourishment from you. Therefore it is your body that will suffer if you are not getting in enough calories. Check with Tiffykins as to a recommended caloric intake. I would assume 1200 to 1500 would be good. But then again I am not doctor. Check with your doc and see what they say.

Oh and I should not forget Congratulations!!!! :D

      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
