Pregnancy after Surgery



Recommended Posts

So, I am nine weeks pregnant with our 2nd baby. I had my first before surgery. I am now a little over 2 years post-op. I have been below my goal weight for over a year. Before I got pregnant I was running 5 to 10 miles 4 days a week, zumba one day a week, and weight lifting 2 days a week. I had some spotting at 7 weeks and my doctor banned me from running at least until 2nd trimester. I also cannot lift heavy weights. I literally ran a half marathon at my best pace every 4 days before I found out I was pregnant. I have been walking and using light weights, but it is so hard for me to "rest". I have not gained any weight yet but my NUT wants me to gain at least 30 pounds. I feel like the past 2 years of my life have been dedicated to losing weight and exercising. Now, all I am told is to eat and rest. LOL.

I am doing exactly what my doctor says because we already love this baby so much. Has anyone else had issues with not being able to be as active?

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
