Hi Stephanie. I heard just the opposite. I made the switch to soy after being banded. I have pcos and I got pregnant a month after loosing 30lbs, switching to soy and having my blood sugars balanced. I now have a six month old daughter. Beware of using the Silk brand its made using chemicals. If I were you I would change to an organic soy milk. Silk is not.

Happy to report to you all that I had my first baby! Its a girl. She was 9.9 pounds and 22 in long. I love love love her. I always wanted to be a mother and was terrified I would never get the chance due to my own body. I have PCOS and type 2 diabetic. I feel such relief and gratefulness and love. I became pregnant a month after being banded. I think it was being banded that allowed me to get pregnant. Well the entire process of being banded. The counseling, the change in diet, the rapid early weight loss. I also switched to soy, got lots of exercise, and prayed like crazy. Thank you to all who have shown me such love and support here. And now that my little girl is born healthy and safe its time to GET IN GEAR! Time to start following some of the old rules I've let slide for the last 9 months. Time to call my Dr and get a fill :smile2: and time to live healthy all around. I'm so ready for this!

Sorry i've been gone but i'm a busy new mom yippeee! I am happy to report i had a nine pound nine ounce girl on 9_9. We named her Sophiel Bea. She has lots of dark hair and blue eyes right now but we will have to see if they turn. her dad has blue eyes and mine are hazel. She is 8wks now and a chubby little pumpkin. I can't believe how much pure love i have for her. I'm so happy to say the least. This is what i have always wanted and i feel so much relief that she is here and she is healthy. I had a c-sec too. I hope yours went as good as mine. I thought it was great. I can't compare it to natural labor because i have never been though. My weight is good. I am about 20 pounds lighter than when i got pregnant. Now if i can just stay away from the cookies Ha! Looking forward to news from you

Hi! OMG you are doing so good! Only 2 lbs thats amazing!...I have gained 3.5 and am only 28 weeks. I know though, the bad stuff is getting hard to stay away from! For me, its bean dip! MMM creamy cheesy bean dip with corn chips! That's all I have been craving (on the bright side at least it's protein)...lollol
See how I make it sound ok! I can't wait to see my little one too! I lay awake thinking about it. Wow 31 weeks...you are so close now! Hope you are doing well! Keep in touch! -
Hows things going Mama? This is week 31 for me. Its going by soo fast. I still don't know if I'm having a boy or a girl. But I care less about that every day. Just really excited to see what my new little one looks like. I'm eating good and am two pounds heavier now than when I concieved. Getting hard to stay away from the icecream when its so hot out though. Ha! Hope you are doing well!

I'm getting really excited that the baby will be here in the next two months. We still don't know if its a boy or girl. I worked hard on eating healthy through this pregnancy. My band is still loose and I have no restriction. But I think having it in place has changed my appetite. I am only two pounds heavier now than when I conceived so I am really happy. I have been eating what feels like a lot to me but its been nutritious food and the dr's say the baby is growing just like it should, except maybe a little bigger than average. About a fourth of a pound bigger. But both myself and the father are bigger than average too. Tall and broad, so I think that is the reason. I have been watching my blood sugars closely and they have been just great so I know its not gestational diabetes. Lately I haven't had much of an appetite and its been very hard not to eat what sounds good at the time. And Whats sounded good has been fruit and ice cream! Still trying to do whats best for baby. Chubby babies are cute but I don't want a 13 pounder!

I go to Bakers Bariatircs in Fridley. They have been beyond good to me and are very knowledgeable. They have a web page with contact info. I'm sure you can google and check them out good luck
