I just gave birth to my little miracle prince. I got pregnant at a little over a year out from rny.
As far as your nutrition is concerned, I would say to keep trying for those 6 small healthy meals. In the very beginning I couldn't eat much and I was terrified that I wasn't getting in enough nutrition. My specialist advised to just keep trying and to make all my meals I could eat healthy. Eventually, I think close to 20-25 weeks pregnant, it all seemed to start to come together. I was able to eat more but then I began to panic that I was eating toooo much and gaining to much weight. But in the end everything turned out great, I believe I gained around 38lbs and I have lost it all already and my son is under a month old. The best advise is to stay hydrated, do your protein vials, take your vitamins and eat as healthy as you can!
I also had low blood pressure and was dizzy all the time, it eventually started to come up the further into my pregnancy and the more food I was able to eat but I would mention it to your doctor.
If you have any questions or just need to talk I am here! I wish you alot of luck and a BIG congrats on your miracle!
I know how this time can be so nerve racking as it was for me but everything will be great
Keep us all posted!
