Question:
Would someone tell me if feeling this way during pregnancy is normal?

I am 7 weeks pg, one year out from RNY; I feel horrible, while being tired is normal, how did your stomach feel? I am somewhat nauseated, yet hungry all the time!! Please feel free to e-mail me and let me know your story!! [email protected] THANKS!    — Amy M. (posted on April 22, 2003)

Hi! I am a mother of 5 small girls all pregnancies were as a pre-op. Every pregnancy was so different- however, my second pregnancy was very similar to what you are describing and it continued through the entire pregnancy. (I hope that is not the case for you) I actually lost weight during that pregancy- but of course gained it all back plus....after delivery. Your symptoms sound very normal- Does your OB know you are a wls post-op? I remember being told that as long as you take your vitamins, eat as best as you can, drink your fluids and don't lose too much weight - everything will be ok. If you cannot get anything down and don't tolerate vitamins and fluids Most definitely talk to your OB. Best of luck to you! and Congrats on motherhood!

Yep, totally normal and probably textbook! A really great book that I read during all three of my pregnancies (it really was that good) is call "What to expect when you're expecting" Congratulations by the way!

Yes! I also lost weight during pregnancy, it was "waking-hours sickness" for me. And definitely get that book, I highly reccomend it as well! (I only have one child, gave the book away long ago - but when we decide to have another, I will most certainly be buying a new copy) Congrats! Lori =o)
