Banded in June, just found out that I'm pregnant



Recommended Posts

Congrats I am soooo happy for you and wish you the best I am just starting my process and one of the biggest reasons is for a baby! we have been trying to conceive for 4 years now and have had a few unfortunate things happen. So after long considerations my husband and I both decided this may be the greatest thing for me and I could not be happier. Every time I read success story on here it too makes me feel amazing and just happy and full of tons of hope and happiness thank you for sharing and I wish you soo much happiness I will defiantly be watching this one as well!

Hey! Now that is really cool! Congrats to you too! it is really strange switching gears. I find at the moment that I'm still losing though. I lost another pound and a half since my appointment. We'll see what it does at the end of the week though. I decided I'm using that number at this point before I update my ticker.

Hey rozie, I'm due one day after you! 4/18/12

Its so weird switching gears from losing weight to being pregnant.

I wish you a healthy pregnancy!

Thanks! Things are going along well! I haven't lost anymore weight in the last couple of weeks, but I haven't gained any either. I've just been hovering.

I've actually been doing quite well in regards to morning sickness and such. I have only thrown up twice. I've been a little nervous because of the band slipping, but so far I've just been able to sit through the nausea and let it pass.

Things are going dandy! Can't believe I'm almost 2 months along!

So I thought that I would report the last couple of days I've been having a tiny bit of port pain. I think that my insides are starting to move around to prepare for the growing uterus, in addition to what's called Round Ligament Pain.

Thank you, im sure i will have more pictures of her to share in the future! I love waking up in the morning to her, even if shes screaming! Im excited to get back on track, and start losing weight again.

about your port pain though, i had it too, it came and went though. As she got bigger she tended to lay on it, or push on it so it stuck out a bit, people would rub my tummy and think they found her foot. It hurt a little but other things pertaining to pregnancy hurt more haha.

      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.
