Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 I would ditto that, Lenore... and I would encourage you to keep in mind that every single person on this list has had their own unique experience. It is certainly NOT true that " all the cravings go away " , nor is everyone successful at getting their weight back down. It wasn't true for me. Everyone's body reacts differently to this whole process. Watch yourself carefully... PLEASE... do nothing with wild abandon, okay? Pregnancy is not a carte blanche for excess.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 Perhaps she was referring to good food as " the old stuff I used to like " . Just a thought... I know in the first trimester all I wanted was seafood and hotdogs. Now I'm 20 weeks and all I want is carbs (homemade bread and pastas) and hot dogs wrapped in flour tortillas. I know I can't wait for this lil girl to be born so I can eat " all the old stuff I like " ! Old stuff in my book is: chicken (prepared any way except fried), beef tenderloin, lamb chops, salads. Since being prego, I don't even want see those items, much less taste them! O edd 5-24-02 Jen, and sugar > > Just goes to prove how everyone is different wether or not we have > had surgery.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 Hi all, Just to set the record straight on what I meant when I wrote " I can't wait to eat all the old foods I used to like " that was post op from my RNY. I have been VERY VERY sick throughout the WHOLE pregnancy and have lost a total of about 25lbs when I was already at 75% of my weight loss when I got pregnant. Food and I have not had a problem until I got pregnant and became even MORE sensitive to dumping than before. Sugar is out of the question and bread will even make me dump somtimes. Fruit juice is out, milk is out, and a number of other foods that I could enjoy that I can't even think about without running to the bathroom. Protein has been out except for the occasional steak, no chicken, NO FISH (which I usually love)....etc... I have been living off penut butter, cheese, and canned fruit for the last 9 months, and although it seems the baby is getting everything she needs ( according to both doctors and sonograms ) I am SICK and TIRED of the foods that I can hold down. So for me I am looking forward to not being pregnant anymore and getting back to " normal " as a WLS patient and not an overly food- sensitive pregnant person. Thanks for the concern, I will keep you posted on my experience as soon as the baby is born and I know what I weigh in at. Currently I am below goal anyway so it should be interesting to see what happens. ~Ann RNY - LAP 09-00 Preop Weight - 265+ Current Weight - 144 (at 39 weeks pregnant) Baby Due date - 01-10-02 Age - 30 (First baby) > > > I will treat myself to a shake or something (just watching the > > sugar > > > > becuase I find I am more sensitive to sugar than pre- pregnancy). > > > > > > It is funny that you say that, cuz I am exactly the opposite.
