two positive epts...doctors appointment Tuesday to confirm

I had gastric bypass June 15th. I have lost about 80 pounds. I was two days late for my period and took two pregnancy tests (ept digital- the one that says pregnant or not pregant) and both positive. Took the first one yesterday and one this am....

I am super excited about this as this was the reason had gastric bypass, to be healthy to have children.

I just want to know what you early out gastric patients did or are doing to keep your baby healthy! Any help would be appreciated.

congrats!! You'll have to start adding healthy carbs back into your diet. ALso - what vitamins are you taking?? TIme to switch to a prenatal and add folic acid and calcium if you haven't already!

Congrats agian!

I take 65 of iron, 1200 calcium, 800mcg folic acid, vitamin c, b-50 complex, b-12 by shot monthly and two multivitamins...

I just called my doctor to see if I could get a blood test before my appointment on tuesday, waiting to hear back from them now. I so so excited I don't know what to do with myself!

Major Congratulations!  I'm happy for you!

thanks, whata topic for support group huh?!

I got pregnant very early out and I am still losing weight. I was advised to shoot for 80g of protein daily and 32 oz of milk. (which goes towards that 80g) I also had to start bi-weekly OB appts at 24 weeks and weekly OB appts start at 32 weeks. I am not high risk but I do have to have a level 2 ultrasound every 5-6 weeks to ensure baby is growing normally. Once I hit 32 weeks tho they are doing weekly ultrasounds and NST's. (Listen to baby's heart beat for 10 mins) Here are the vitamins I take daily:

Iron
C
D
B12
B6
Folic Acid
Calcium
Prenatal

CONGRATULATIONS!!

thanks for the information, it means alot!

"two pregnancy tests (ept digital- the one that says pregnant or not pregant) and both positive"  If they were positive and not "pregnant"- I'd call the company...LOL (Sorry it's early and I haven't had enough sleep).  Congrats- take good care of you, and get in with your Dr & Nut. for proper advise.

Congrats! I would call your surgeon and nut to see what advice they have.
