7 Weeks Pregnant --Slipped Band And Scared Put Of My Mind!



Recommended Posts

I was banded in July 2011...and was doing great until this may (2012)....i couldnt keep anything down and had a feeling that my band had slipped! Went to the doc and sure enough it was a bad slip...they took ALL my Fluid out hoping it would repair it self in time. After taking the fluid out I felt great...just took it easy on my stomach! This were going good ...then I found out I was pregnant. Im now 7 weeks pregnant and as of last night the same symptoms I had with the slip are back!!! I can't keep ANYTHING down...even water!! Im scared out if my mind bc they already took all the fluid out so I don't know what else to do and I have to get something in my stomach for the baby!!! Im so scared and tired of being in pain that I am leaning towards getting the band removed..but not sure what I'll do for the next 9 months...Im terrified that I'll loose or harm my baby!!! :(

See your doctor right away! I can't stress that enough. If you can not eat or drink anything you will become sick quickly especially while pregnant and waiting might have disastrous effects for you and your unborn baby.

      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.
