Guest guest Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 Hello all! First I wanted to say thanks for all the well wishes you all gave me a couple weeks ago. I never responded, but I wanted you all to know that I appreciate all the kind words. Second, I'm not sure if you remember, but this is my second pg since my wls. I know that every pg is different, but I just thought this was a weird situation. Ok, I know that a good portion of people who've had wls dump. I have never been one of those fortunate people. I do control my sugar intake, but I'm able to eat quite a bit more than most and not come anywhere near dumping (not that I test the waters, because I don't). Since my wls almost 2 years ago I think I've dumped 3 times. And all 3 times it was from ice cream, which I avoid like the plague now. lol With this pg at about 5 weeks or so I started having morning sickness, ok all day sickness that tends to get even worse when I eat. I know, not good. I do make myself eat and take my vitamins even though I really don't wanna. lol OH AND, the kicker, I dump now???? I'm not sure how many of you have had a second pg since wls, but I'm wondering if this is a common thing? Especially since I've never had a problem before. Any thoughts or input or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! Janice Tessa 8/6/02 #2 edd 9/10/03 open rny 3/8/01 -140 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 Janice that's a good question..you would think that would happen w/ your first pregnancy after WLS as well..I do know that I had terrible morning sickness(like you..all day and eating made it worse) but is better now..I don't dump as easy though..

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 Jana, It really is weird. When I got pg with my dd, I suddenly could eat a lot more. And believe me I did. It was like I could never get enough food. I was always hungry. I lost the whole time I was pg (40 lbs total), which shocked me, especially with the way I was eating. Since I found out I was pg this time, I've lost 5 pounds. So I'm assuming that I will do like I did with my dd. Now suddenly with this pg, I'm back to not being able to eat very much, I'm not hungry, I feel sick, plus I dump now. It's almost like I'm about 4 or 5 months out from my rny again plus the dumping. Very weird! Maybe someone around here has been through this too. I really wish I could talk to my surgeon. I'm sure he would have some insight. But unfortunately he has closed his practice. ( Anyway, I hope this morning/all day sickness passes the way yours did. I know a lot of people once they get out of the first trimester are ok. But there are others that a sick as a dog the whole time. Only time will tell I guess.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 janice, This is my first and only pregnancy following WlS LOL. I never had severe morning sickness with my other two pregnancies, I had evening sickness with my twins and it was more like severe heartburn and I would throw up occasionally after eating dinner. This pregnancy...WOW was I extremely ill, for the first 14 weeks. I am now 16 weeks and although i occasionally throw up i can usually tolerate most foods. Along with the severe all day sickness I couldn't eat either, if I looked at food naseau set in. Since I have been pregnant I have lost aprox 18lbs, which doesn't make my doctor to happy. Finally it seems like it may be stabalizing. I am at high risk due to previous pre-eclampsia in my two other pregnancies, other than that issue I would not be high risk. Good luck, and I hope the sickness passes soon for you. wls 12/18/01 edd 7/23/03...my b-day THINK PINK > Hello all!

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 Janice, I'm going through the same thing, except for the dumping (I've never dumped, though, so that's not new). Even on the rare day when I feel " hungry, " I find I can't eat much because I'm not eating much the other days. Still, I thought I'd gain weight from the insulin I had to go on and all the snacks you have to eat as a diabetic. But my OB says I've lost 4 pounds. Weird. (Especially since I can't wear some of my old clothes already, from bloating I guess!) --Darla RNY 03/26/01 EDD 09/15/03 > Now suddenly with this pg, I'm back to not being able to eat very > much, I'm not hungry, I feel sick, plus I dump now.
