To those pregnancy after sleeve, how is your dietary intake and what do you eat.

I am not quite 4 mo po from my sleeve and pregnant. I saw my observations today and he is concerned with the amount of ketones in my urine, he is telling me I need to be taking in 1500 calories. I barely get 500 in a day.

    I haven't been pregnant post sleeve, but I think you should be able to get in more than 500 calories a day at 4 months post-op. What are you eating in a typical day right now? What is limiting your ability to eat more aside from your restriction? Are you experiencing nausea, vomiting, excess acid, or difficulty swallowing?

    Is the nausea related to the sleeve or to the pregnancy? Can your surgeon or OB/GYN give you anything to help control it that won't adversely affect the baby?

    I can imagine it's pretty tough to find things that don't upset your stomach when you are fairly newly sleeved AND pregnant! Maybe try to focus on calorie-dense foods if you can handle any of them. I had to get my calories way up while training for a half marathon so I started eating a lot of cheese and nuts to help pack in the calories, without eating much more food.
