7 months post op and pregnant

[Guest guest]

Hi guys

Maybe someone can give me some advice on this: I am 7 months post op

and pregnant. Now, I am seeing a high risk ob because of my age (40

and 1st baby) and post op Gastric Bypass. Now, the ob wants me to

take these expensive vits. that I have to order online at this one

company called vita4life.com and it is about $55 a month for this. I

want to have a healthy baby so I'll do it of course but one problem

is that I have heartburn so bad all the time (I know it probably is a

big part of pregnancy but I can't eat too well and I am afraid the

baby won't get enough). Does anyone have any suggestions for

heartburn relief? Also, they want me to take even more protein about

170 mg a day, I had a hard enough time with the 60 for the operation

that wanted me to have a day, what do I do now? I am trying to drink

my protein drinks as usual but they make me sick now, is this just

temporary and just another part of being pregnant?

Also, I just had to be put into the hospital for two days last week

for a kidney infection, isn't that a part of the high protein

intake? I never had a kidney infection in my life and it really

through me for a loop. I sometimes have UTI's but it has never been

this bad. please help!
