I became pregnant 5 months after surgery
Is there anyone out there that has done this. I do not want to call this a mistake, because it is the entire reason I had the surgery...to increase my ability to concieve. I've lost 87 pounds and I'm still loosing. I've lost a total of 10 pounds since I've been pregnant. It has slowed down so thats good for me and the baby. I'm still trying to make good food choices, but this seems to get harder and harder every month with the cravings I'm having. My biggest struggle is the morning sickness. I seem to not be able to keep the little I'm able to consume down. My baby is developing fine, but I seem to be the one suffering because he/she takes everything from me. I'm very week and tired all the time. Any advise I can get from anyone would be much appreciated!
Congratulations on your pregnancy and weight loss!! I am happy you were succesful with getting pregnant! I think having WLS is common to assist with concieving. So good for you. I assume you have talked to your doctor about your concerns for the baby? If not, please call... you do not want to cause yourself any undue stress. I have a friend who is pregnant right now and suffers from morning sickness. She takes a pill that she got from the doctor (suppository type) and it stops the morning sickness. They never had that kind of thing when I was pregnant with my son. I :puke: up everything I ate. It was awful! ~~ Please contact your doctor. Perhaps you should have blood work done if you have not done so already. Good Luck!
