Pregnant And 11 Wks Post Vsg

Yep u read that correctly!! EVEN THOUGH I had a paraguard IUD in place I STILL got pregnant! I'm looking for advice and for someone to tell me I'm gonna be ok. I can't believe this has happened and I am so worried that this is the end to meeting my weightless goal. ALSO! I am suppose to eat 6 small meals a day. Any suggestions on high protein snacks to keep at work? Thanks guys!

First off congrats... second i know a couple of people who became preggo after surgery... one lost weight after she gave birth the other lost but then gained... but she wasn't eating the right things (she hides recess cups, butterfingers, snickers, etc under her bed).

For now just worry about being healthy for you and your baby. There are a lot of posts on here of women who've gotten preggo a few weeks post op. LASTLY, DONT BE SCARED... doctors tend to put fear on us but remember science only goes so far.... This happens everyday so just seek advice from those who've gone through and try tp do as your gyn and doc and surgeon tell you and CONGRATS!!!!!

Hope you can sue that IUD company!!!! I think i'll stick to the pill lol... remember things happen for a reason! Good Luck!

Congrats! I asked my doc before surgery if I could have a normal pregnancy after VGS and he was very positive about it. Just work with your doctor and don't stress.

Good luck with the pregnancy and the surgery!

Congrats!!!!! I imagine you might no be able to lose weight at this point. Might not be safe for the baby. I have tired for so long to have a baby, I am just happy that you are. I sometimes wish it would happen to me. I don't really want to wait until 11/13 to get pregnant. I want a baby so bad.

Congrats!

My go to "quick" Proteins are:

  • 1 oz of beef Jerky is 15 grams of Protein & 3 carbs. I buy the big bag from sam's club and take it home and divide it up into snack bags.
  • Low fat string cheese.
  • hard boiled eggs
  • greek yogurt

Good luck. I'm sure they'll keep a close eye on you and all will be well!
