Congratulations! We too got pregnant just 1 month after banded and were very surprised since I was told that pregnancy would not be possible due to PCOS. I later found out that when you lose more than 5% of body weight fertility increases! Well the pregnancy went well without any complications however after having the baby I have not been happy with my Lapband at all. The satiety that I once had prior to pregnancy is gone, my food gets stuck quiet often and I have not lost any additional weight. Talk with your surgeon to see if there is possibly something that can be done to prevent any issues after the birth of your little miracle.

Hi Everyone...I hope everyone is doing well! I am now 5 weeks out from by banding and I am wondering how long any of you waited to eat any type of Bread Products (Wheat Tortillas, Wheat Toast, Crackers,Pasta, etc...)? I'm just wanting to add a little something new..

Thank you for replying so quickly! Are you making your own protein smoothies/shakes or are you buying them?

Hello ...... I am new to this so please bare with me..lol ... I was just banded on Thursday, August 27th so I can completely empathize with you guys. I have had to deal with the same problems such as gas and chest pain and that is not fun : ( I am just stumped on exactly what I can add to my diet . I have been on broths, sugar-free popsicles and sugar-free jello since my surgery and I was wanting to see if you guys started eating yogurt, oatmeal or eggs that early.... I am actually hungry ..... Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hello! I am new to this so please bare with me. I just had my surgery on 08/27/09 and the thought of broth is just not happening! I have gone to several different websites including my doctor's and everything seems so vague. How soon did you guys introduce new food? I would really like to enjoy some oatmeal, yogurt and eggs!
