I gained 120 lbs when preggers- all I had lost. I am back down 92. I had to have an infill cause hormones made me so tight I couldn't drink so my doc went on the conservative side and took a bunch out. If you can eat and drink, you do not need an unfill.

Congratulations! I am down 50 so far and am thinking about going off birth control in the spring. I want to be at least under 175, but not to my goal of 145 when I start trying. I've been reading s lot about pregnancy and lap band, though, and it's mostly been very encouraging!

Banded 4/17/12, on my way to the real me!

I'm never got a fill because the dr said I was losing weight fine without one. I guess I'll just be starting over after the baby comes

. I can always lose more weight but at 35 my chances of getting pregnant again go down. Dont worry about weight gain, its part of growing a human being!!

      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.
