Im 2 years postop vsg. Im currently 24 weeks pregnant, and suffering from a kink (due to baby girl crowding my sleeve)... Making me vomit most solid foods. I do ok with some softer foods, and protein drinks, but usually take in about 300-500 cal per day. I am currently about 5lbs from my pre pregnancy weight... I had dropped 9lbs from morning sickness, then regained back almost to my pre preg weight... Ten dropped 5lbs in last few weeks.
doctors assure me she is a very efficient little parasite and will digest my muscles and suck calcium from my bones if needed. LOL. They encourage me to get my vitamins and protein, do the best i can, and monitor her closely with growth scans. At 28 weeks i will begin twice weekly stress testing, and every 2 week growth scans. S far, she is doing well, but had dropped off the curve some. (She is still in average range for now, as i have measured ahead all this time).

My dr. Had me stay on the same vits, as all my labs were good, and things were working. I take two centrum complete, extra calcium, iron, b12, and d3. She didnt seem concerned about the extra vit a, as absorption probably limits things some.
i did do a fresh round of nutritional labs as soon as i found out, and am repeating again at 24 weeks (when i do my routine mid pregnancy labs).
I went through IVF after surgery. I was extremely discouraged and could not afford the treatments. Nurse suggested I try Gustafasen I think it is spelled it is in Mucinex. I bought a bottle of Mucinex and I was pregnant in one month. In thins mucus like when u have a cold or allergies so it allows the sperm to get to the egg easier. I used during ovulation week. I also passed the bottle along and it got two other friends from work pregnant as well who were trying for months through fertility. It was crazy. I could not believe how it helped the process. Good luck in the future.
