Breastfeeding with the band
mellymel2302 replied to TracyW2's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
I am so glad to hear this. I had my daughter 6 weeks ago and really want to get a fill. My dr took everything out at the end of my first trimester so my band is totally empty and I am worried about gaining back the weight I have lost. I only had my band 3 months when I got pregnant so my weight loss was only 35 lbs which I an still at. I have my 6 week on appt tomorrow and if I have gained I am calling my lb dr! -
Ok preggos, what do you think of...
mellymel2302 replied to Wheetsin's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
We have showers for men where I live, but they are called diaper parties. The guys all get together and have a bbq and some drinks. And diapers are an easy and very needed gift to bring. I have never heard of a grandmother party, but it is a cute idea. -
Morning Sickness (I mean all-day sickness)
mellymel2302 replied to Jpet's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
I was having constant sickness too...until I got unfilled. I have only been sick twice since then and being able to actually be sick makes it go away faster. -
Are You Able to Feel Your Uterus (From the Outside)?
mellymel2302 replied to Jpet's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
I can feel mine if I shift some of my fat. I am 16 weeks and I have started to get all weird about it too, even though I can feel it. I have been lifting all my lower ab fat up and I can see my actual bump. I have no hope of having a cute bump anytime soon. I do hope I am at least showing a little by Christmas. -
Poll- Pg when did you get unfilled?
mellymel2302 replied to jillrn's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I just had my unfill two weeks ago. I was really having a hard tie with morning sickness and not being able to thow up was becoming an issue. My ob was also getting worried because I had lost 8lbs since my first appt with her. My surgeon completely unfilled my bad, that is his policy on pregnancy. It is so starnge to be able to eat larger portions. -
First fill- not sure if i have enough restriction
mellymel2302 replied to bandded's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I had my first fill in June and it was only 2cc. I have very little restriction, but have still been able to loose about 23-24lbs with this fill. I was really discouraged after the first week after the fill because my weight didnt change very much, but here lately I have been losing. I have also heard that it takes 3 fillls to get to good restriction. -

Can't stop eating!

Thank goodness I am not alone. I have been so hungry. I really have stuck to the liquids, though. It has been hard and I am only a week out!
