Protein shakes while pregnant?



Recommended Posts

Can anyone tell me what they are using to get in that extra Protein during your pregnancy?

Protein shakes, yes! A good way to get in your Protein, according to my nutritionist. Also yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs, that kind of stuff. My nutritionist said all I need is abotu 250 or 300 more calories a day.

Did you get unfilled? I did and now I am SOOOO hungry. Wish I didn't get unfilled (I only had 2ccs anyway).

How far along are you?

I'm almost 15 weeks. Going a little nuts because I'm waiting on my genetic testing results. I also hate that appts are a month apart. I wish I could go more often to make sure everything is ok with baby.

It's nice to see other preggie banders.

I had just found our I was pregnant when I posted this. I am 24 weeks this friday and I haven't gained a pound....I've actually went from 283 to 268.... they say as long as I'm eating 1500 daily then that's okay also I don't have any Fluid in my band now. I got a complete unfill at week 16 and have been sick basically my whole prrgnancy from morning sickness and kidney stones to gallbladder surgery at week 18. In and out of the hospital so I've had to make myself eat which is completely opposite from about 2 years ago when I couldnt stop myself from eating.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
