Shrina,

That's great news! Congratulations on your pregnancy. I was banded in March 2005 and still have quite a bit of weight to lose, and I too am expecting a little one. My husband and I tried for almost a year before I was banded, then decided we'd wait so I could take my band journey.

I am 13 weeks now, and for the first 10 weeks I'd say I lost about 20lbs (I didn't know I was pregnant). Now I've had my doc take some fill out of the band and I am neither gaining nor losing weight. I'm really watching what I eat and getting in plenty of exercise and Water. I have to admit that I am worried about gaining weight, even though it is normal for pregnancy, I've just been in weight loss mode for so long now that seeing the scale not moving kindof irritates me, but I know it's for a good reason.

Congrats again! Feel free to contact me if you want to compare notes!

Please tell me you weren't on birth control. I am extremely afraid of getting more fertile and becoming pregnant again (I have a 14 month old)

If you wern't trying but 'doing it alot' you'll have a girl, I'm guessing you want a boy cause you already have 2 beautiful girls!

Shirina your husband is a doll (I've met him) he has such a low back, kind, caring personality, enjoy being with child.

Last we talked, you have a snug fill, don't worry about weight gain at this point as long as you don't eat for 5 like I did. All I ever wanted to do while being preggy was eat and sleep, and that's hard with 2 kids under 5.

Congratulations and Merry Christmas!

Corinne congrats too My guess is July 11 (my birthday)!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
