11 weeks and parnoid!

[Guest guest]

Thank you so much for being available! I really appreciate this group!

Beware of TMI:

Well I am 13 months post-op bypass, down 95 lbs and am 11 weeks

pregnant w/ my first child. Things have been going well & I am pst

most of the am sickness but I have a new and surprising problem. I

have had terrible diarrhea that will not go away. My docs have done

tests and I am not too bad to have dehydration problems & I do not

have any other issues. I can eat ok but only want carbs since the

thought of meat makes me sick and veggies are not very helpful w/ my

issue. I have been adding protein bars and may need to go back to

shakes. My pcp thinks I am dumping and that my hormones are the cause

of the problem. Has anyone had this and do you recommend anything to

help lessen the symptoms?

Thanks

When I was pregnant in 1999 post WLS all I could stomach was sugar. And before I

got pregnant I had not had sugar for a year except once or twice accidentally --

and it made me dump horribly.

I called the nutritionist and was told that it was probably my hormones and the

important thing was to eat whatever would stay down so I would get some

sustenance. Oh yeah and I had horrible morning sickness and nothing would stay

down but carbs for a while.

I survived and more importantly my daughter was born healthy. Take your

vitamins, eat what you can and listen to your body. It will tell you what it

needs.
