Bekka,

In my first trimester I lost 25lbs and felt like you did. Once I was in the

second trimester I started to feel better.

new to group.. loosing too much!!!

Hi all.. my name is Bekka and I am 13 weeks pregnant. I had gastric

bypass surgery 16 months ago and lost a total of 160 pounds prior to

getting pregnant. I was not completely to my goal weight, but I have

now lost an additional 20 pounds in the last 13 weeks and I just feel

horrible all the time. It is not as much that I am throwing

everything up... but that I just can not eat much without nausea. I

am concerned because I feel like I did right after surgery when I was

getting about 300 calories a day... drained, exhausted and feeling

malnurished.

They have referred my to a high risk specialist due to the surgery,

and a past history of blood clots and cysts. He doesn't seem to be

too concerned about all the weight loss... yet, but he hasn't been

successful at alliviating my concerns. Has this much weight loss

happened to anyone else?? I guess I need reassurance that everything

is still ok.

nausea and trust me, tha'ts all it does is help, not cured yet!
