Just curious. I was completely unfilled at about 10 weeks and my drs office said right after delivery I can start fills again. How long did you wait?

I was thinking about 6 weeks myself. Except now at just at 36 weeks my daughter is breech, there's a possibility of a c-section. So no sure how that will play into it

A heating pad was my life saver but I was banded last Dec. Not sure how a heating pad will feel in summer. Walking walking walking helps

Id love for my fh and I to have a baby. Keyword in the future. Even though I have been fat my entire life I don't have any problems getting pregnant. I have 2 beautiful girls. Id love to get the IUD but a close friend of mine had it lost 40lbs and it fell out with out her realizing and suprise she got prego. I know everyone is different. I will be checking with my drs next week for their advice. Just wanted some opinions and see what has worked for others.

Same here except I have 3.3 cc's

Thank you

Yes I agree already. I feel like I have a bump and the whole world can tell lol. I haven't broken the news to the family yet and I dying to. My youngest was 8 lbs 12 oz soooo I know I will be gaining at some point. Atleast its a good gain.

Well ladies back when I made this post little did I know the miracle of life was already in progress. Im currently 9 weeks along! I will be closing up shop after this one! thank you for all your advice.

thank you for your comment about your pregnancy and unfills. I too am newly banded and was terrified was I took a home test and found out I was expecting. My lb pa has put me at ease explaining that im not hurting anything by not waiting a yr to conceive. I thought I was the only one to have done this. I have unfilled a few cc's just as a precaution which has helped tremendously with morning sickness. My ob seems to want to watch me like a hawk. But with both my pregnancies prior to being banded I lost weight in the first two trimesters. Currently Im 9 weeks and haven't gained or lost

197 final weight in for Jan

Thank you for sharing you are such an inspiration! I can't wait to have the same story. Im blessedto have a very supportive FH also. Post dress pics when you have them

I think you need to up your food intake. If you are going to work out that much you need tofuel your body. Sounds like your body is in starvation mode just in my opinion im not a nutritionist. My dr said with protein shakes use them as a meal replacement. If Im working out then as a snack. Also weighing your food is better than using a cup for measurement. I stick to between 4 and 6 ounces per meal.

Checking in at 198 apparently my previous post were incorrect when I went to the Dr last week their scale read 204 so I went and got a new scale that more accurate. What a love/hate relationship

You all are welcome. It spoke volumes to me. glad it could help others as well

Not really unfortunately I need to take care of a personal issue but will do many best to make it

ONLY? YOU ARE AMAZING. Congrats

I will do my best to be there

Sure how are you?

I still want to just trying to coordinate family schedule. What time is better for you?

Im only a month post op but this is how I see it. Think of it as you need to teach your body to be skinny. After all you taught it to be fat; to want and crave the food and amounts of it. Now its time to teach it that some where between 4 and 8 ounces (depending on your Dr) is ok. You will not die of starvation. Remind your self this is head hunger. Find a distraction to cope whether that's drinking more water, working out, reach out to a friend/lbt. You can do this meet your band halfway.

Stay away from snacking! When I get hungry I drink water. If all else fails grab a protein shake
