Do you have an OB yet? I found that having a doctor with some experience with other WLS patients was super helpful. I let my eating slide off track quite a bit (got pregnant at 13 months post-op) but it was within the doctor's OK. Having my surgeon on board was important too, he's had lots of women get pregnant post-op and had some great advice.

I've had 4 pregnancies and 3 live births, my first pregnancy of identical twin girls resulted in complications and they passed away around 18 weeks gestation. All of my pregnancies with the exception of my son were awful pregnancies. My sons pregnancy was directly following the loss of my twins. I was 180 when I became pregnant with him and gained 50lbs. Fast forward 7 years and I was 230 pregnant with my daughter and gained 50. 14 months later I was 267 pregnant with my next daughter and gained 35lbs. I had vsg a month ago and am now 235lbs (down 30 yay) and plan to lose 90-100lbs more. My last two pregnancies were terrible on my back/hips/pelvis. I could hardly walk, it was so bad. This is the sole reason I said I was done after my last. I would love one more, but the level of pain during my last two just rendered me useless to everyone. Does anyone have any experience with terrible obese pregnancies followed by not so bad pregnancies after weight loss?

This is a few months old so I'm hoping you are on track but I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2007 when I was 23. For almost 10 years now I have been treated with birth ontrol, metformin and spironolactone. Last year we started TTC and my GYN said stop the birth control and stay on the other two until I was pregnant, then stop spironolactone and keep taking metformin. I didn't get pregnant last year so went back on bc for 6 months and then we have TTC since May. My cycles were 25 days for 5 months, now I am at day 39 and waiting. I will go back on birth control and try again next year.

All this to say...I started treatment with an Endocrinologist. My OB/GYN is not an expert in metabolic diseases like PCOS. it is really a misnomer because the cysts on the ovaries are a symptom of high testersoterone and altered insulin signaling. The cysts are actually follicles that mature partially but never get the signal to fully mature and release the egg. 

PCOS is a passion of mine and I hope you will go see an endocrinologist or see a different OB/GYN

Hi all!  

This is my 1st post on this forum.  I am 9ish weeks pregnant with my 2nd child (1st after RNY)  I am a few years post op now and had just started gaining some weight back (20 lbs).
For some reason I have this unease feeling that this child is going to be malnourished or deformed or something because of the RNY.  I just need some resources with suggested eating and maybe some stories of people having healthy (or even not healthy) babies post RNY.

I have definitely forgotten ALL the rules - my 1st set of blood work showed that I am borderline anemic so I am taking iron and prenatal supplements plus some others like B12 and calcium.  My cravings are all sugar and I am having a hard time eating meats they just feel like a lump in my tummy and I get very tired after eating.

Tips stories and links would be a big help!  

Thank you all
