Can Anyone Tell Me What They Eat Daily With The Band And Pregnant



Recommended Posts

I have just found out I am pregnant and would like to know how much and what other banded people eat daily to know the baby has enough food.< /p>

The baby won't need much more that you are probably already eating. In the second trimester, they recommend you increase your calorie content by about 300...but the baby will take from YOU what he/she needs.

Make sure you are taking a prenatal Vitamin. Any will do, just if you take the gummies, you will also need an Iron supplement. And drink a lot of water! juice is also good while pregnant for a few extra calories.

I eat several smaller meals a day now...I'm 20w4d...and I was able to avoid morning sickness completely. I've been told its because I physically can't gorge on a meal and HAVE to eat several smaller meals or snacks--that was preventing the MS.

If you have been following the eating recommendations from your Lapband doc, you should be fine. Lots of Protein, veg and fruit are good for you and the baby!

That all being said, I'm having a girl and crave sugar alllllll the time now!! I try to eat more fruit because of it, but I'm giving in once in a while and eating that cookie or small candy bar. Oh, and Gummy bears are my best friend. Geez!! Ha! All in moderation is ok. I've only gained one pound, so I guess it's alright. :)

Let me know what other questions you might have! Not that I'm some expert, but I do know what you're going through!

Sticky bean dust for you!!!

I ate whatever I wanted. I did try to eat healthy but my son made me crave beef and I didnt eat red meat for several years before getting pregnant. I did drink juice every day, not a lot of carbs but meat was a must. Eat several times a times a day and later in your third tri eating smaller meals will keep the heart burn at a minimum. I didnt have heartburn until the last month and no morning sickness. Just try to eat balanced and good food. You cant really do wrong if you just try to eat healthy.

Good luck!! Oh, and my son is 13 days old and I am 3lbs below my pre pregnancy weight which is the lowest Ive been!!

      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.
