Re: Question

[Guest guest]

I eat fruit alot and I do not dump as long as i don't make a hog of myself. i

usually can eat 1-2 small fruits at a sitting, like a nectarine and a small

apple and i am okay. if i eat 2 apples together i get slight diarrhea but that

is from the apples i think. try 1 piece at a time and see how it goes...The

nutritionist at your high risk docotrs office will probably be the most help to

you and if she/he never has had a gastric bypass patient before then they need

to hit the internet and other doctors offices and get you info, thats what

they are there for. Don't be scared to speak up to them about all your concerns

and make them do these things for you. When I was preggers for the twins the

nutritionist had me on a special diet for diabetes, like i wasn't eating hardly

anything- breakfast was llike a cup of raisin bran, 1/2 a banana and 1/2 cup

milk in my cereal, lunch- a slice of cheese pizza and dinner- a small potato,

piece of meat no larger that the palm of my hand and a cup of veggies. i

thought no way were those babies getting enough but they were fine. I did have

them

2months early because i did not keep my butt still and bed rest like they

wanted me to and i lost my water so they had to induce me, they were 3 " 10 and

4 " 10 and they were good and healthy and breathing on their own. The larger baby

only stayed in the hospital 5 days for jaundice and the little guy 13 days for

low blood sugar, but the came home quick and i was very releived to get them

home. I am sure your babies are going to be fine. they may be a bot small but

they will be okay. make sure to rest as much as possible so they will stay in

there as long as possible. I am praying for you all and can't wait to see pics

of these miracles when they are born

CONGRATS!!!

Do you honestly think I can carry 4 babies with the way we absorb

things <-----I think so with proper nutritional counseling each and

every month and I would also see a perinatologist (which I am

certain you would since have 4 plus post WLS).

This is what I take

as far a vitiams

Iron pills (2 a day)

Filenstone complete (1 a day)

Folic acid (2400 a day)

B12 1000 with extra follic acid (2 pills a day)

Calcium citrate (2 pills a day)

I think vitamin-wise, some of the other more vitamin conscious women

in here can help you with that. I take mine sporadically.

I would get in to see the peri asap. Yes, the babies do take what

they need from the Mommy but since you have 4, they will probably

take it 4 times faster!

My blood levels (and B12 levels) were all normal at the beginning of

the preg also, then they dropped considerably in the 5th month.

I think your quads will be the same normal weight as normal babies.

Most of us have had healthy-weight babies; some a little smaller

then pre-WLS and some a little larger others.

CONGRATS AGAIN!!

Sheila

I've been taking fertility drugs also! I'd settle for twins but

4???? GOD BLESS YOU!!! What were you taking if you don't mind my

asking??

[Guest guest]

Up your folic acid... I am pregnant with ONE and take 5 MG (not

micrograms!!, but MILLIGRAMS) of Folic Acid each day. With quads, you

can't get too much folic acid... they need that boost for neuro health!

Don't worry too much about size... that will just make things worse, okay!

:~) Get that Folic Acid in, though... My doc gave me a script for it so I

didn't have to take so many pills at once! :~)

QUADS...WOW Congratulations! (grin) I think you should follow whatever

directives the peri gives you with regard to nutrition. I would also suggest

contacting your surgeon to gain additional insight into your nutritional needs

based

upon the procedure and amount of intestine bypassed since that varies so much

amongst us RNYers in the group.

I am somewhere between a promial and distal and am having no problems with my

pregnancy. Some other moms are taking double the prenatal I am and I (nor the

twins) have had problems with one pill per day. I also take Protien (shakes),

Calcium Citrate, Iron and Vit. C. YMMV which is why a good relationship with

both surgeon and peri will be so important for you.

Good luck and again congratulations X4!

Just saw this post. Maybe you could post your location and if there are other

Moms in your area with another surgeon perhaps you could consult with their

surgeon or nutritionist? Even consulting someone's " out-of-area " surgeon may

prove fruitful if you can get your operative report and let the " alternate "

surgeon know about your procedure.

LYSINE!!! It's an amino acid that you can buy nearly anywhere.

It was safe for me to take during pregnancy (I am prone to very

painful nasty sores!!).

I take 1,000 mg at a time 5 times a day the first day I suspect one

is coming on. The next day I take just 4, then 3 and usually by

the3rd day, it's gone or nearly gone!

MUCH MUCH MUCH cheaper than the Famvir & Valtrex ( nearly $100. for

14 of them)I used to get prescriptions for and it's a natural

substance found in our bodies!

try some!

you will be amazed!

[Guest guest]

Marcy,

There is an antibiotic they can give you that will clear them right up...

I can't remember the name (thanks, right?? LOL), but your doc should

know... and know if you can take it while pregnant.

Good Luck!!

Sharon

Oh... if you can't take the antibiotic, Musterol is wonderful stuff! Its a

cream you can find at a local drug store. It tastes nasty, burns like

heck, but gets rid of them quick!! I'm not sure if you should put it in

your mouth while pregnant, though... double check that, too, okay! :~)

Rose,

Thanks for the welcome....

I a so glad to hear that someone has the same fears and feelings as

I do. Your surgery is very close, do you feel like you ar ready for

all the lifestyle changes that need to take place? Even though I am

am ready I feel like I have started questioning myself on the

changes that I will need to make. My husband has said the same thing

to me about being scared. He said I wouldn't be normal if I wasn't

and then he woud worry. Are the meeting that you attend every Thurs?

Where in Fair Oaks? I would love to go to some meetings for support

before my surgery.

Remind me as your surgery date gets closer, you will be in my

prayers.

Thanks for the information,

Pam,

Thanks again for the reply...

It's nice to hear peoples opinions and feelings on the surgery, and

I was so glad to hear your experience on this. I'm not sure why I

wrote Marsha for your name in the first reply, I am so sorry about

that.... Dork sometimes I guess

I want to make sure I am like you and follow the kaiser plan to a T,

but for some reason have started questioning my ability to do this

now that I have a date. I need to figure out why I am doing this to

myself. Do you attend any meeting and where?

Thanks for your truth, I am so glad I came out to join the group too!

HI , Dr Legha was my surgeon also. I am really glad that I got him as asurgeon. He has been with the Baroatics program for a few years now. I had my surgery in 2003. When I went in fro my Pre-op exam I got a chance to talk with him afterwards and just knowing about his medical history was comforting enough. I felt like I had put my life in the hands of a great surgeron. My surgery was realatively straighht forward and without serious complications. I did have a slight fever the day after surgery and that was taken care of right away. As for regrets the only one that I have now is that I didn't do it sooner tnat is all. Ramona-132 -- Re: Question Marsha, Thanks so much for the reply, it ws sure nice to hear from someone here. It's ok that you didn't know anything about my surgeon. I am just really scared right now and was wondering if everyone got more scared once they found the date out or as it got closer. I have been a reader of the post for so long, but decided that I need to ask questions and post to try and get support from people who have been through this process already. I need information for support meetings. Congratulations on your weight loss.....that's a great amount for 11 weeks!! I bet you are so happy with this. Do you have any regrets, or complications doing this surgery? I will keep posting and let you know as my surgery date comes closer, I will need all the prayers I can get!!!!

Its okay about the name. I knew what you meant. What

you feel is perfectly normal. I get transitioned to

the final good state (stage iv) and I posted last week

I think it was about being nervous. So far its been

safe for me because of the food limitation (choices

that is). I worry about things not settling in my

tummy, that sort of thing but not enough worry to be

frazzled. Its part of the process. Its the only way

we learn what works for the new tummy and what

doesn't. I believe I will be fine with this group

here and so will you.

I do attend support group meetings. I attend my

meetings at Airforce Base (which is not open to

the public) only because my babysitter knows the

leader and told her about me. I have access because

my husband is in the reserves.

I have thought about attending meetings in Vacaville

since I live 10 minutes from the hospital but still

have not decided. Going to this meeting will interfer

with my work outs at curves but we will see. Take

care.

Being newvous is perfectly normal, even if you've done as much

research as you have. I'm having surgery on May 17th too, but it's

the first round of reconstructive work. Having a specific date

makes it more real in a way. It's really going to happen, not

just " some day. " So much of our lives seems to get deferred. I

can't wait to welcome you to the other side!

The next meeting is May 4th right? I will go because

I want to meet you. I think that if I get out by 7:15

maybe I can make it back to curves by 7:30 to get my

workout. They close at 8:00 on Wednesdays so I would

have to get there by 7:30. Well, if worse comes to

worse, I will just switch a day. Let me know if it is

May 4th so I can mark it on my calendar. Can't wait

to meet you.

Ramona,

Good to hear from someone who had Dr. Legha as their surgeon. He

didn't seem very friendly when I met him, just very business and

straigt forward, I wasn't looking for a best friend, but I was

hoping to have someone like all the other people have dealt with

there at Kaiser S San Fran like Beth, & Dr. Stiles. I felt wonderful

after leaving them. My husband said he doesn't have to be your best

friend, just the best at what he does and that is all that matters,

so I am just going to listent to him & not worry about the other

things.

How bad was the pain after the surgery? I have a low pain tolerance

and that scares me even worse.

Thanks for the info on Dr. L. and for your input on the surgery.

It's really appreciated!

, Yes the meetings are every thursday they are at Hazel and Madison at the Raleys by the pharmacy. It is good to be involved in these meetings it really helps keep things in perspective and you get the answers to your questions/problems. This group is very very open about everything and I mean everything if you get my drift. The meetings start at 7pm Try and come join us you won't regret it. I am ready for this and I keep telling myself this too. I try to stay as positive as possible about it because I think it is very very improtant not to have any real second thoughts about it that I did have early on with the process. You are very welcome for my input anytime. Look forward to meeting you in person.
