Guest guest Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 I cannot begin to explain how thankful I am to have found this group. I had my surgery 10 months ago I am down 170 lbs from a pre- surgery weight of 415. I am 13 weeks pregnant. So far everything is going ok with the pregnancy. I have had a full blood work-up and 2 ultra-sounds thus far everything has come back normal. However I could really use some advice because I am having a really rough time trying to get enough to eat and drink. I have no appetite whatsoever, more often than not the mere sight of food or drink makes my stomach clench...except junk food for some reason suddenly looks very very appealing (which I hadn't touched for the last 10 months!) and I am having a really hard time getting in the extra fluids. I have struggled with my fluid intake ever since coming home from the hospital with my WLS and now since becoming pregnant if I have even one day where I don't get enough to eat or drink I feel terrible, I get dizzy and really really tired. I am taking a calcium supplement twice a day, prenatal vitamins, iron and b-12. I would love to hear some advice from anyone out there....has anyone else had to struggle just to meet the basic minimum for nutrition every day??? Never EVER in my life did I think it would be too hard for me to get enough to eat!!!! :-) Looking forward to everyone's input!!!
