 I'm almost 8 months out from VSG and down 110lbs from highest, only 20 to goal. 
Aaaaaaaaaand I tested preggo today. A faint line then a clear "pregnant" from a digital test.
This is my first time being pregnant, a total shock and surprise. Holy ****! 
I'm taking two celebrate multis per day (that have a TON of B12 and 800 folic) 1000mg of calcium (get 500 from protein shake) and a 36mg iron every other day. My labs in July were good. 
I have an appt on Monday to confirm and get labs done. 
Any info on what works for others would be great!!!

Congrats!  I got pregnant 6 months after my VSG.  I had lost most of my weight, my labs were all good, and I had no problems with fluids or protein.  So, hubby and I figured we'd stop birth control and see what happened... about a minute later I was pregnant, lol.  I had no issues during the pregnancy.  My labs were fine, baby was slightly bigger at birth than my pre-op baby (and born a week earlier), and I had a very uneventful pregnancy.  I only gained about 18 lbs (compared to 22 preop) and had no trouble losing that plus another 10 to get to my original goal. 

Good luck, you'll do great!

Thanks Paula!
May I ask about your vitamin regime? Did you still take a ppi? How many calories/carbs/protein did you aim for?
I'm going for a blood test to confirm today.
Thanks for your info!!!
