I don't have much advice for pregnancy after vsg but I had morning noon and night sickness all 9 months. I couldn't even keep Water down. I couldn't get Vitamins or liquid down, so I frequented the ER. Ask your ob if they can set up weekly or daily iv fluids and Vitamins. I lost 45 pounds in the first trimester.

All this and my daughter was born healthy (well other than a brain hemorrhage caused by the doctors). But she was fully developed and full term. Find a doctor that specializes in high risk and ask how they would proceed.

Try not to freak out ;). Although I dont blame you if you did.

I too suffered with hyperemesis and the constant spitting (sorry TMI) during both of my pregnancies thus the 9 year age difference. Said I was not going through that again. I was put on medication in the second pregnancy and it worked so ask your doctor for something. No need for you to suffer.

What does that even mean?

The typical "natural miscarriage" (the only correct kind) is to have a miscarriage that happens naturally, not induced with drugs or other poisons to the fetus and to not have a D&C afterwards. All of my miscarriages were "natural" because I didn't need the further procedure.

Then there is the bad kind...people choose to poison their fetus (done with drugs or herbs that will damage it) which often leads to nothing more than a brain damaged, or physically damaged baby who makes it to term carrying the maiming their parents chose to inflict on them.

If you are not ready to have this child, I carry no judgement and suggest you consider a medical abortion before it's too late legally. But don't try to kill your fetus on your own....that's nothing more than torture when it does not work.

We shared a room at Hopkins with a little girl from Mexico who had experienced her mother attempting an herbal "natural" abortion. Half an arm and severe mental disturbances due to the damage done to her brain...and she was only 3. Don't be a fool...don't do this to a child you don't want. There are pain free options for the fetus you can easily take advantage of verses attempting to kill it on your own.

And miscarriage "natural miscarriage" is an easy way to say abortion for many. I'm not against abortion...but when you knowingly remove a viable fetus from your body it's an abortion. Clear and simple, no matter how you label it. When I was pregnant I had testing done on each fetus to determine if it carried any serious issues (down syndrome etc). Had I have had a down's child I would have aborted the fetus. NEVER would I have taken that medical procedure into my own hands.

Perfectly stated IggyChic. What you choose to do is up to you and only you will have to live with it. Just make sure it's YOUR decision, not one influenced by other people...whether it's on this site or in your life. Let it sink in for a couple of days and let that initial shock wear off first. Good luck Honey.

I personally think you should try talking to your Dr. first to see what can be done for antinausea meds or IV fluids. That is a very big decision that may impact your life. There may be a way to feel better AND have your little one. Just my 2 cents! Good Luck!

Are you saying going on IV ...I don't understand.

I already has terrible acid reflux that have gotten under control. I am soooo sick. I don't think I would be healthy at all.

You poor thing! Have you talked to your Dr. about this? Your surgeon as well as your OB? I think they are going to be the best to take advice from. So you are 6 months out? You should be able to get enough in to where it would be adequate nutrition for both you and baby. Maybe more frequent smaller meals and add the Protein Shakes in again. Morning sickness is temporary for most people. This is one of those topics where it is such a touchy subject where someone always gets upset. I am only saying what I would do. I would deal with the morning sickness and feel like crap and be miserable for a short time for my baby. I would just talk to your Dr's to see what can be done to make you feel better. ((Hugs))

She was sleeved six months ago, she hasn't said how far along she is, but I assumed due to the comments on self aborting she was just recently pregnant...at least I hope so. At six months such an action would be murder...I''m sure she didn't mean that!

Based on when I had sex...it could only be 2weeks.

Sorry, to clarify I was asking how far out she was from the surgery not pregnancy! :)

And to add, since you are only 2 weeks pregnant, maybe you will be lucky and not have morning sickness at all? I did not have it hardly at all with both my children. Just a tiny bit on a few occassions.

You are two weeks late? (making you 30 days into a pregnancy) or its been two weeks since unprotected sex? At a month into a 40 week pregnancy you aren't normally producing enough HCG to be sick...but some people are really early producers. If this is about morning sickness, there are cures for that (they have a pill you can take that makes it go away...it's often given to sleevers while in the hospital and it's safe for a fetus). But I would sense that this is about more than just morning sickness....

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
