I'm very confused. You have only just been banded, when did you find out you were pregnant? Generally surgery won't go ahead if you are pregnant.

Are you pregnant now? Because the standard wait time is 18 months to 2 years before you should plan to get pregnant after ANY bariatric procedure. Otherwise you may have complications related to the restricted diet/nutrition required. Since you shouldn't be taking any estrogen based birthcontrol due to clotting risks for the first 4-6 weeks postop you will need to use secure forms of birthcontrol because weightloss will increase your fertility. No doctor should install this on someone who is pregnant.

I think we misunderstood you. I think you were saying, you're glad you can still get pregnant with a lapband,right? Not that you are pregnant.

I hope that you are saying you are happy that you can have more children someday. You should not have a pregnancy too soon after lapband, but that does not prevent you from the sex part. Just use good judgement on birth control. If BF wants kids, then tell him to marry their mother. Kids need a mother and a father in a stable family unit. IMHO

Also... fill out your profile so we can tell if you have been banded or not and when. If you are not yet banded and want more children, do that first, then look into band surgery in a couple of years.

      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.
