Pregnant with the band and no symptoms


Sign in to follow this  

Recommended Posts

I am 9 weeks pregnant and have the band. I have not had any morning sickness and thought it was due to the band that was preventing it. I see I am wrong. I have my band pretty tight but, I don't find any problems eating and keeping healthy. I crush my prenatal pills and take them mixed in Water. I have lost a total of 9lbs since I found out I was pregnant 3 weeks ago, but I have again no morning sickness. Anyone else experienced this?

Sounds just like my pregnancy, I lost weight my entire pregnancy and didn't get morning sickness til after 12 weeks. Every woman is different, thankfully your one of the lucky ones that hasn't had any morning sickness :) If at anytime you think your pregnancy is not "normal" per say I would talk to your obgyn. My entire pregnancy I was so nervous because I wasn't gaining weight and I didn't get unfilled, but everything was perfect. Good Luck and keep us posted :)

Thanks Aspen... How much did you lose during your pregnancy?? BTW my OB/GYN told me not to unfill my band but, my Lap Band surgeon told me to do so.. I honestly don't want too. I feel perfectly fine :)! My band is at 9CC (pretty tight) and I feel that I have no restrictions...

      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.
