Hi ,,, im in the same boat as you i got prego @ 300lb im now almost 7months and im at 280 i on the other had have had a little bit of junk food but other wise eat lots of veggys and fruit chicken the usual ... My doc sais since im newly banded ( 03-12-08 ) im going to continue losing weight .. And the only thing they are doing different with me is i get ultrasounds about every month and they do blood work almost every month .... I hope this helps a little... Good luck

hi to all .. im 21 wks and no unfill yet .. i was going to go in for a unfill about 4 wks ago and doc said to try to purey food a few days and i did.. i can eat pritty normal .. i have a few meals a day and im still losing weight .. doc in tj sais its ok and doc in the usa want me to gain !?!? like i told the doc .. im eating a lot but in small portions trew the day ..

Hi everyone .. Im currently 5 months preggo and loving it .. I find out the sex of the baby nov 24.. We are very excited ,, here is my issue and would like to know if any one else is having the sames issue .. Every week i keep losing 1 or 2 lb .. And at my last doctor visit they told me they wanted me to at least maintain the weight i was at but im still losing the weight and im so not tring to .. I dont stuff myself but i do eat every few hours not a lot because my lap band doc said it wasnt necesary to unfill because i can eat more than usual but i do eat . Im worried that tha baby isnt getting enough food but then again i do have " excess baggage " any coments ? Anyone going threw the same thing ?

Than you all for the comments .. I feal a little better knowing im not the only one with this issue ... Thanks again ... Ill keep ya posted as time goes by to see if i gaind or lost more .. I do have about 120lb to my goal weight ... Lol but i rather have a healthy baby right now .. Thanks again

Hello .. I Would Suggest Walking At Least A Few Times Around The Block .. Ever Day .. It Works For Me .. Hopefully It Works For You .. Good Luck And Dont Give Up ..

Hi Congrats On Your Future Surgery .. Its Ssoo Exciting Isnt It?!?!?!? Well Im In Sales But Not On The Road All The Time So Its A Little Easier For Me But We Still Have A Lot Of Vendors That Either Bring Us Food Or We Go Out To Eat.. Here Is A Tip .. When You Eat Out Ask For A To Go Box And Just Leave A Small Serving On Your Plate.. Look For Things You Can Eat ( Salmon And Steamed Veggies From Chillies) Thats What I Do At Least .. I Dont Feal Left Out And I Eat The Amount I Should Works For Me Hopefully It Works For You

Hello .. my name is Ellie and I live in Imperial Beach, Ca . I am not banded yet but will be having my surgery sometime in March 08 by Dr. Huacuz in Tijuana. I'm starting this thread for any one who lives in San Diego and has a hard time getting motivated to work out or needs a buddy. I personaly get very lazy ( lack of better discription) when it comes to excersize and I need a little push. Dr Huacuz told me its very important to have a regular excersice schedual to help in the weight loss as well as makeing my skin go back in place. I was thinking this could be a great place to meet new buddies and maby help each other . Let me know if you have any thoughts
