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.

      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!!
