Breathe mama. I know that watching that scale go back up after all its done is go down is scary. I got pregnant 8 months after my band and had lost 60+lbs, only to turn around and gain back 58 during my pregnancy.

Keep one thing in mind, you did this once, you CAN do it again. Pregnancy should be a time for happiness, being spoiled and fawned over, and just enjoying the experience (minus the gas, the heavy belly, the hormones, the mood swings, etc...LOL)

Do not be so hard on yourself and do NOT try to lose weight while you are pregnant. You will be coming up in the next 7 or so weeks where the weight gain is the most crucial for the baby.

Induldge in your cravings, but in moderation. Like we were told after surgery, its the moderation that is key.

Good luck and I wish you all the best :)

I could feel the pain as I read your post. I am so sorry. I have been there. I lost 70 lbs and then had to get an unfill because of some complications. I gained back about 80lbs. PLEASE learn from my mistakes. I am so mad at myself. I am having to start this journey all over again. Just remember that while your band helped you were doing most of the work yourself , so you can still do it! Good luck! Follow my lap band blog www.biscuitsandexcuses.blogspot.com

I can't tell you what a boost in energy I've gotten in just 2 days making better choices. I'm looking forward to the end of the pregnancy. Sweet baby boy and after a little while gettin back to working out and hot yoga. I miss it quite a bit.
