PREGNANT AFTER GASTRIC BYPASS

by daniplusone2009, Aug 27, 2009 08:12AM
Hi I have been looking for posts of women whom have had gastric bypass and are now or have been pregnant in the past.  I had gastric bypass over three years ago and I am now pregnant.  I would love to find a group or forum where i can talk to women who are willing to share their experiences.

Personally, i would like to know if anyone whom had the surgery has gone through any of the things I am currently experiencing.  Firstly, My baby is healthy as a lark currently, and I would like to keep it that way.

However, I am constantly losing weight,20 lbs, since being pregnant.  I am constantly in the drs office since I am high risk, however I am concerned because as my baby grows, I know I need to gain weight in order to have a healthy pregnancy.  Its difficult to eat properly for me because:

#1 -  I can only eat so much after the surgery
#2 -  What I used to like to eat, I can not stand at the present time (food aversions)
#3 -  I do not seem to have any food cravings

I am currently meeting with my nutritionist to help me along and to ensure a healthy pregnancy, but I still would like to have a support network.  Please Help.
