14 Months Post Op. 6 Weeks Pregnant. Protein Shakes?

Well I didn't quite get to my goal, about 47lbs short and now I've discovered I have a bun in the oven.

I have/had PCOS and my husband had motility issues so we thought it would never happen. Well we got the surprise of a lifetime. Now I'm wondering if Protein shakes(casein and isopure) are ok during pregnancy. They're a staple in my diet, i have a shake every morning for Breakfast.

Has anyone heard from their Dr about Protein shakes being okay during pregnancy?

I go see my Dr Wednesday but wanted to see what the concensus is.

I have no advice either (sorry!) but I also wanted to say congrats! I never thought I'd have a baby and had my son 8mths ago. Best thing to ever happen to me. Good luck for a happy and healthy pregnancy!

congrats and best wishes on your new journey in becoming a mum xxx

I've been told protein shakes are a ok during pregnancy as long as that's not the only thing you are consuming, and not having way to much protein.

shakes are fine according to my doc and for a while were the only way I could get real Protein due to morning sickness. Shakes didn't bother me but just about all food made me sick for months.

They're a fantastic way to up your nutritional stats and add calories to your daily intake.

Congrats!

Wow congrats on baby on way

Again, no advice... just wanted to say congratulations from one PCOS-girl to another! Hope I am lucky too! My fiance and I have decided that at the end of this year we are going to take on a if it happens it happens approach. ;) I hope to get to goal first!
