I'm 17 weeks pregnant now and down 50 pounds since my surgery in November. I'm surprised to say both of those things about myself. I had one fill before I new I was pregnant but have no restriction. I'm not sure why I'm still loosing weight can be attributed to just one thing. I think just having the band in place has decreased my appetite. I think the year of prep I went through before banding may have helped a little. Going on liquids before and after surgery surely changed me. I think my mind kind of snapped a little but, in a good way. I no longer pre-hunger eat. Which I used to do a lot. Thinking I would be to busy to eat when I did get hungry. Weight loss now is only about 2-3 pounds a month and I'm walking at least two miles a day. My life really is changing. And I'm happy with it so far :thumbup: I have tons more stamina than I used to. No more naps. When walking, My boyfriend says that I have a 2nd gear. Ha! Some day I will be jogging.:tongue_smilie:

Thats Great! You sound like you have a really good attitude and thats a big plus! I got my band on 2/4/10 and I feel like it has actually made me "feel" and be aware of when I am getting full now......I've lost a total of 35+ pounds since I started the process in September but I am VERY happy! Good luck with the baby and everything you do! Peggy
