Advice
first of all congrats!! I would also place a call to your surgeons office and ask to speak or meet with the nutritionist. My doctors both gave me different numbers. Surgeon said 1500-1700 calories and the OB wanted 2000 I tried to be around 1700 every day but it was HARD! ( I had a miscarriage in June and am just trying again)
WIshing you a happy and healthy 9 months!

My Dr never gave me any direct advise besides seeing the dietitian. She went over what I typically ate, and then gave me suggestions of ways to boost my intake. So I would say it's probably between 1800 and 2000 cals a day. Unfortunately, pregnancy makes me eat like a horse...so I never actually counted cals. ( I gave that up when I did RNY, just choice to eat light and health) but I know it had to be close. I believe my first post WLS baby I gained 15 pounds or so. I know my appetite varies A LOT during my pregnancy, very hungry early, then it dies down a little, then around 20 weeks it picks back up, then around 30 drops off...so it will probably cycle (so do my cravings, ability tolerate things). Everyday is a little different for me. Good luck- and your best is all you can do. Exercising is great for you both.
