So I ended up having my beautiful son Hudson at 35 weeks and 4 days gestation.....He weighed 5.1lbs and was very healthy!! Came out bum first (frank breech) vaginally So far all is going well..I have had breast reductions so breast feeding has taken some time but I am exclusively only doing breast feeding with him....... My question is....when did you all start getting fills again? Did you wait till after breast feeding was done or did you wait a few weeks then get a fill???? All I do is EAT ALL DAY LONG!!!!!!!! Esp chocolate Craving sweets like crazy!!!!!!!!!! I feel I have no restriction at all??? I am still filled to 6.5ccs so would likie to eventually get a fill......I have about 12lbs or so to lose....Gained 25lbs in total this pg.....

Hudson was born Feb 9th at 7:23am btw!!!!

Hello! I am new to the board and had a few questions. I am currently 24.5 weeks pg with my 3rd child. I was banded back in 2011 and lost all and some of my weight. I had very high blood pressure issues but not extremely over weight and so was considered a candidate for the surgery. I started out this pg at 115 lbs and am now sitting at 132.5 lbs. I had a slight defill done in my first trimester (1cc was filled to 7.5cc's so I'm still at 6.5cc's about).... So my question is how much totaly weight did everyone gain during there pg's? I find I am still restricted to a certain amount and have a hard time eating certain Proteins, rice and dry things.....I am not really wanting to get a defill as I find I am gaining a sifficiant amount of weight.........How did all you ladies make out in that department? I am noticing I am eating alot of ice cream and chocolate at night.....lol......My cravings....lol

I only had a slight defill if 1cc when I was 9 weeks pg....I'm 32 weeks tomorrow and so far have gained about 22lbs! I started off quite small so the weight I've gained is mostly baby I think and SOME of my chocolate and ice cream cravings......lol.....I was heavier with my first 2 so I will probably give birth at about 149lbs (where I started my other 2 pg's off at.....was before my band surgery).....Congrats on your pg and I also I suggest an OBGYN instead of a Midwife.......They can monitor you and baby to make sure your gainining enough as well.....Good luck honey!!!!!

I took out 1 cc around 8 weeks or so because I was nauseous but then noticed I was eating more then I had liked to put back in .25cc's and so far I have been ok. I am 29 weeks tomorrow and so far I have gained about 20lbs....I have been gaining about 4 lbs a week. My first trimester I found I gained quickly as well as my second.......Not sure how this 3rd trimester will go. Congrats on your pregnancy!!!!!!!! I know the feeling of being worried about gaining weight back after the choice of being banded but remember it will all come off once your done being pg

Congrats on your pregancy btw!!!! 130lb weight loss is AMAZING!!!!!!!! So you are due at the end of March I take it? Do you know what your having? I'm having another boy! I have a 6 year old daughter and a 3.5 year old boy. Both I had before I was banded! This is my first band baby. I feel you on the weight gain jitters.....Seeing every week the numbers go up is so hard for me. I haven't been eating a ton but I have a major sweet tooth Its killing me.....lol......Started out at 116ish and I'm now 135.5......My due date is March 10th but I'm sure my OBGYN will induce me a week early as my husband works out west and will have to make arrangements to be home....

Well I'm 28 weeks now and am up to 135.5 lbs so getting close to 20lbs I've gained. I find I reach for Soups and yogurts and things that go down easily. I can eat an english muffin in the am with a HOT coffee and its fine. Anything really hot helps me get my foods down easily. If I try to take a few sips of Water that is cold I will throw that up. My OB thinks by 39 weeks when they plan to induce me I should be around the 145-150 mark so 35lb weight gain in total. I have a HUGE love affair with sweets that's def not helping me along with the weight gain....lol....Get's even worse when I'm breastfeeding...... Fritzy1980.......Do find you have restriction at all? Are there any foods you can't get down?

Wow I started gaining the minute I got my BFP.....lol.......Like I said I started out at 115 and I'm now close to 133lbs. I am just over 25 weeks. With both my daughter and son I gained 30lbs without my band BUT I started out 150 with daughter and 145 with son and went up to 175ish......I have a HUGE love affair with chocolate and ice cream right now....lol......I eat fairly well during the day and pretty much graze throughout.....But once the kids are in bed and I'm in bed watching my T.V shows I reach for the sweets....lol I breastfed my daughter for 10 months and son for 6 months but had to supplement as well because I have had a breast reduction so my supply was always lower. I used Domperidone to increase my supply so now I'm wondering how I will do being banded? What after baby is born? Do you feel more or less restriction once the baby is born? Sorry tons of questions....lol...

Did you notice once you got past a certain amount of weeks pg you started feeling more restricted? I know if I try to drink cold Water or say rice or a dry bread I'll have to throw up.....When did you all start back getting fills again after baby was born? After you developed your milk supply or after you were done breastfeeding?

Thanks everyone for replying!!!! I know I'm new so I appreciate it:) I just want to make sure I stay on track and not go overboard. Some days I feel restriction where others I feel none? I am still filled to at least 6cc's so......

I'm on a pregnancy forum but never mentioned I was banded so feel so much more comfortable coming here for support :wub: Knowing other women have experienced pregnancy while being banded. Its all new to me....lol......Thanks for replying

No who are banded. I am just curious what a normal weight gain should be with someone who has undergone the procedure. My OB would like for me to eventually get another slight defill but I think I have gained properly as of now....That's why I was asking Sorry I know I'm new to the board so I don't want to sound pushy just noticed a few people read my post so was curious if maybe people were hesitant to reply due to me being new here

I am so sorry for your loss I have had 6 M/C's in my past and each one were difficult to except. I am currently expecting baby # 3 and just with experience I believe trying as soon as your mentally ready is a good thing. I waited a cycle then started back right away. I only did that so I could date the pg properly and the HCG draws. I def would find a new Dr. I was with the fertility clinic for both DD and DS and this pg was a total shock.....No progesterone or IUI or clomid! All natural...
