NEW HERE!

HI!  I'm Dana....31 years old. I had my wls Oct 6th 2009 and I just had my 1 year post op appt and have to get my labs done today.  I jusr found out I was pg 2 days ago!  It puts me at 5 weeks along.  I have an OB appt tomorrow.  I'm excited and nervous at the same time.  I'm excited that my son will have a bro/sis finally and I'm nervous b/c I don't know what to except being post op wls.  I had my son 5 years ago w/o any issues, and now that I am pg again and post op I just don't know what to except. 
I'm also fighting a bad cold and not sure what I could take for it.  I have the body aches, sore throat and runny nose. 

I currently weigh 155 (my goal for post op was 140)  prior to wls I was 268.

congrats!... everything will be the same... take your vits.. make sure you are eating carbs.. and enjoy

You're gonna do great! Don't stress too much, K? Just take your prenatals, get bloodwork done often, eat a lot of nutritious foods and ENJOY and happy, healthy 9 months! That's awesome.

Your stats are around the same as mine, weight-wise. You'll do great. I've gained 5 lbs at 20 weeks and baby is growing awesome.

Congrats...be sure to take your B-12 shots, or sublinguals, extra calcium citrate, and extra D3. I am horrified at the amount of people I talk to who had RNY, who have no idea they need to take citrate, and can't absorb regular B-12. This is a great board and a wealth of info.(even if you are not preggo, lol)

Congrats and welcome!  I hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy.  I'm sure you'll be fine.  Talk to your dr tomorrow re what you can take for your cold...I know there are acceptable meds out there, but have no idea what they'd be. 

How much Cal should I be taking?  I currently take 1500mg...
