Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Hi all... New to the board and I have a question that I am really concerned about. I am almost 10 weeks pregnant. My first pregnany and I am 3 1/2 years post op. I am very excited, but have been dying with morning sickness since the beginning. Morning, noon, and night....I can't keep anything down. What I want to know is kinda nasty....but I am worried about the vomitting. When I had my surgery, I never really had a problem with vomitting. Only if I ate too much would I have to empty a little out of my stomach and that was it. But now with this vomitting, I don't know if it's normal! It is grennish- yellow bile like! And I am wondering if that is normal since I can't keep much down or if there is a problem with my staple line in addition to the pregnancy. Any one who can give me any input...I would be so greatful....I am so worried... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 , Try not to worry! If you are not eating much due to nausea and vomitting, you don't have much in your stomach to begin with. The green liquidy vomit is the stomach acids and juices. You are probably only seeing this when there isn't anything else in your stomach when you vomit. Just try to take in as much nutrition as you can to keep you and baby healthy. Drink as much water as you can to stay hydrated. The majority of pregnant women do not suffer with nausea and vomitting for more than a few months. However, there are some cases where women have these symptoms for extended lenghts of time. We'll hope and pray you aren't one of those few unfortunates! As long as you are not losing too much weight, and getting your nutrients and fluid intake in, you should be okay. Go by how you feel. Remember...baby gets first dibs on your nutritional intake. Good luck girl! I know it is miserable while the vomitting lasts, but hopefully it won't last much longer.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 , I vomit all the time...mainly its because when I do eat I am so starving that I don't chew as well as I should...... But I did have some hit and run morning sickness in the beginning of this pregnancy....nothing at all like when I had my son 4.5 years ago when I literally spent 9 months in the bathroom barfing. The only thing I can recomend is to eat a bland diet. Crackers, water, rice, chicken or ground turkey. I know that carbs do make morning sickness a bit better. The only way to know if there is a problem with your staple line is to go to your surgeon...I am sure that its fine but it may put your fears to rest. I know it is more painful to vomit after having WLS and sometimes I almost feel like my tummy is bruised inside....! I also think its very normal to worry like crazy in the first trimester especially when you have had WLS. Your body is doing a lot right now preparing for this new life. Your blood volume is expanding, and so is your uterus!!! I noticed things feeling more pushed up pretty early on....you may be feeling that too. Good luck and welcome to the list.
