[Guest guest]

I was nauseous alot in the beginning and lived off crackers, all kinds,

saltines, peanut butter ones. they were so good at calming my stomach. It will

pass

though. Congratulations on your baby. It is very exciting to have that first

one, well actually all of them but the first is just ssooo awesome.

I have recently joined this great group and I read all of the post

when I have the time. I am 8 weeks pregnant and feel sick most of the

time. WHY DO THEY CALL IT MORNING SICKNESS? I am sick all hours of

the day! I have tracked it down to this: I am hungry, eat and then

feel sick. Someone told me that normal pregnant women develope an

lining of iron in their stomach and then when they eat it makes them

nauseas. So I was figuring that since my old stomach meets up with

the new stuff that maybe I was experiencing this nausea when

everything joined up. I asked the nurse about this and because I am

only the second WLS patient they have ever had they didnt really

know. She said that it did kinda make sense. But she also assured me

that I am almost down with the first trimester and that I should

start to feel better soon.

This was a suprise baby for me. I was not planning on this for

another year. I even thought that because of female problems I have

had associated with my weight that I would never be able to have kids

and I had resigned myself to adoption. Well suprise suprise. The LORD

had something else in mind for me. I am adjusting to the idea of

being a mom and starting to get really excited. I am a research freak

and have been reading so much information on everything. Pregnancy

after WLS, breastfeeding, childbirth ... all of it. My doctor said I

should be advising/lecturing other WLS pregnant women.

I have also been very lucky to be blessed with a fantastic surgeon.

He quickly responded to my message when I found out that I was

pregnant. He was quick to put my mind to rest. He said that I might

even continue to loose through much of the pregnancy. In fact I have

lost another 4lbs.

Any information that everyone post on this site relating to

nutrition/supplements and eating right is GREATLY appreciated. Right

now I dont want to eat any meat. So I am trying to eat beans,cheese

and nuts. Plus the protien drinks.

Good luck to all mommies to be!
