Wow .. you are a busy Mommy to be!

Congrats on the weight loss.. pg .. and upcoming nuptials!

I got preggers 10 weeks post op... and have had a few food issues..

severe exhaustion 1st trimester ( but had that with my first 2 pgs PRE WLS).

I take a few children's chewables a day with Iron... and my levels have been

fine.

The morning sickness.. for me it was All day sickness was horrible the first

trimester...

I still can't eat meat ... yucky!

I live on cheese and peanut butter.

Teeth... lets just say I am going to help a dentist pay for his kids college

after this baby is born..

Surgeon... mine didn't even want to know I was pg... they could care less.

OB - I see a high risk and a Peri.. NOT WLS related.

Whoever is taking care of your anemia issues should be made aware of your

current PG.. and I would have that monitored...

In the meantime.. eat what you can.. and enjoy the next couple of months!

BTW.. I am 33..

Hi all! So glad to have found this group. I found out I was pregnant

for the first time about three weeks ago and it wasn't planned but

certaintly a surprise. I was told it was highly unlikely I would

have children. The timing probably could have been better but I look

at it like this is a gift and could be my only chance. I am 34 and

engaged and had a March wedding planned and was going to school and

working two jobs. I have to postpone my school to next summer but I

feel it be ok. We have moved the wedding up to the end of October so

hopefully my dress will still fit. I have my 1st u/s on Monday to

give a due date. I am 17 mths post op. I have perncious anemia and

found out my hemoglobin was low. Is that iron and is tha common

being pregnant anyway or from the wls too? I have had moring

sickness anf seems to be worse after everythime I eat. I'm seing a

ObyGyn and the said they would treat this as a normal pregnancy

unless problems arise. My question is do you continue to see your

surgeon or just keep them updated? I didn't realize we were suppose

to take our normal vitamin regimen+ calcium in addition to the

prenatal vitamins. Do you need to worry about to much ? I have been

getting dizz and lightheaded wasn't sure if it was from not getting

enough liquids in. I was wondering since they say babies pull the

calcium out do the dentists ever so sealing or fluoride treatments

while being pregnant? Just curious. How on earth do you get enough

food in? I'm trying to force myself to eat more often but along

w/the nausea and getting full plagues me. I was thinking about

adding a protein shake in or two. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Welcome, Kelley. My amateur opinion is that the anemia is wls

related. I was grimly & unpleasantly surprised to find about I have

osteopenia. Continue to be pro active & keep the faith.
