Hi Amanda! I am pregnant as well! I am now 14 weeks along. I had an unfill when I was about 6 weeks when I started having alot of nausea. Luckily I did this because I threw up that very night. I have gained some weight back but I still try to eat healthy and keep my weight under control. I was banded Jan 2011 and lost 165lbs before getting pregnant. Let me know if you wanna chat sometime! I'd love to!

I tried to get it on my new iPhone and it wont let me. But, if you log onto it from your computer it works. They need to fix the bug.

My boyfriend and I are considering trying the vegan lifestyle (after the holidays of course!) for about a month and I was wondering if anyone else has tried it with the LapBand? I'm worried about not getting enough solid proteins but I also haven't done too much research yet. Anyone here vegan? If so, any helpful hints??

Thanks so much for all the tips!! We are doing our research now so it will be easier come the new year. Thanks again!

I had my LapBand surgery 3 weeks ago today. I have lost 44 lbs since the start of my journey but the last week has been hard. I have been instructed to go back to regular foods but since then my weight loss has stopped. I count my calories and take in less than 1000 a day and take in at least 40g of protein a day. I get all my water in and my vitamins. I'm beginning to get discouraged. Is this normal? I know right now it's a time for healing but I have been doing so well up until now. Any input would be helpful.

For the past two weeks I havent lost one pound!! I had my first fill back on March 2nd and dropped about 20lbs in two weeks. I had a check up on the 16th and told them I didnt think I needed a fill because I was doing so awesome!! But NOW!! I have been stuck for 2 weeks and I'm working my butt off at the gym and eating all my Protein, very little fat and less than 1000 calories a day!! What is going on!?! How can I break through this platuea???? Please help!!
