Looking For Support - Any Empty Banders/broken Banders Preggo?



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I'm looking for support. My lap band has sprung a leak for a third time, three surgeries later, and this time, I'm pregnant.

I've gained 12 lbs in the past month since the band emptied, and all my food issues are coming back, compounded by hormones/hunger.

I'm determined to get through the pregnancy without blowing up. I've maintained an 80 - 100 lb loss for 6+ years despite my band breaking within the first year.

I've already located a local doctor to replace my band once the baby and breastfeeding are done, but in the meantime, I'm white-knuckling being without my training wheels.

Is anyone else going through this or something similar?

Thanks

Kate

Hi!

I just had a baby and just had Fluid taken from my band (I'm down to 1.5 cc now). I just posted on another topic about how I managed to handle my cravings, especially during pregnancy, and keep up with slow weight loss even when I hadn't had any fills to my band.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
