Pregnant??? it can’t be….
Well, I’m almost 8 months post op, and have lost 102 pounds since
then, but now I have an overwhelming life changing matter. We were
soo very careful not to get pregnant, but I am, at least 5 weeks as of
now. I’ve read some really horrific stories and then I’ve read some
really good ones, the ones with the happy ending. I am hoping mine is
a happy ending….PLEASE anyone, any suggestions….I know doctors say
not to get pregnant before 12 months post op, and of course it wasn’t
like I was trying, it was a big ooooops….but I feel every child is a
blessing and we’ll make the best of it…any tips on nutrition or
anything would be greatly appreciated…thanks Amanda

I do recommend you get plugged in immediately with an ob/gyn who
specializes in high risk pregnancy, preferably who has dealt with
pregnancies after weight loss surgery. Don’t let this make you think I’m
saying you can’t have a successful pregnancy, because it can be done.
It’s just that you need to be much more scrupulous about your nutrition
during pregnancy. If you aren’t, the baby will probably be just fine,
because Mother Nature will take what the baby needs from your muscles,
bones, reserves.
Good luck and keep us posted! If I weren’t already 47, I’d be seriously
considering having another child myself!
