I had to have all of my Fluid removed on Monday. I was so dehydrated and throwing up bile :( My stomach still feels swollen and I am still having trouble eating certain things but I would prefer to be able to eat and enjoy this time because its my last baby, and because I got the weight off twice before, I can do it again (original WL, then weight loss after band baby #1)

I had 4 cc's in a 14 cc band throughout my nature pregnancy. I didn't have to have any fill taken out. Just make sure you're getting plenty of calories in. You only need 300 extra. I had a very healthy 8lb 9 oz little girl. I stayed exactly the same weight my entire pregnancy and at my two week check up I had lost 30 lbs from delivery day. You can do it. It's completely up to you. Just be aware of how much you're taking in and if you feel like you need more calories don't be afraid to have some fill taken out. You'll drop the weight as soon as the baby gets here.

Hi congrats! So you said you didn't have an unfill at all. Did you have a c section? I am 32 weeks and have not had an unfill and was debating if I should have one since I will be having a c section due yo swolleness. Thanks in advance

I think everyone is different. I had 7cc's in my 10cc band. I didn't have any problems except I would occasionally get stuck. I then would take a sip of something and that would help. My band was completely unfilled at 16 weeks due to a nasty virus that caused severe vomiting. I never had any mornin sickness and stayed filled until that point! Talk to your surgeon and good luck! :)

      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.
