Guest guest Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 Hi. I'm not on very much but i wanted to announce the birth of my daughter to you guys! We had a 2 vessel umbilical cord, morning sickness 24 hours - the whole time, and i was 1 yr post op at conception.... Despite all the worries the only thing that happened was our baby was diagnosed IUGR - intrauterine growth retardation... in the end we thought she had shrunk in utero... boy was the sonogram wrong! we delivered a healthy girl 5lbs 10 oz at 38 weeks via emergency induction. I had a heck of a time eating, and normally wouldn't get over 1800 calories, if i got 1200 i was lucky. in the end the had me drinking scandishake (http://store.axcanscandipharm.com/products/scandishake.html) which is a not bad shake you mix with whole milk, they give this to children with cp and stuff to get then to gain weight.... I also had to eat protien first, then veggies, then liquids. we saw 2 nutritionists, one told me not to drink water and eat more sweets... yeah she'd never dealt with a gastric bypass patient! well I just wanted to say good luck to you guys and hope every knows that pregnancy after a rny bypass can be stressful but with vitamins and protein it can turn out great! if you have any questions please email me siotha@...
