Recommended Posts

I had my band placed in 2011 and I was 287 at the time. My highest weight was 323. I've made it down to 189 and now I'm having a baby!! Hooray but nervous about my port looking funny on my preggo tummy and about gaining too much weight. Did anyone have trouble with the port or binge eating while pregnant?

Congratulations! Don't worry about how the port will look, just enjoy this journey and think happy thoughts about the beautiful little life you are bringing into the world.

Congrats!!! Don't worry, you've been banded long enough to where you THINK you might want (or are) binge eating and you're really not. Just remember, you only need about 200-300 extra calories a day for baby, BUT don't try to diet or hold back on eating, just remember, moderation is key :) I'm 36wks pregnant and my port sticks out like a turkey timer, but it will go back after baby. So don't stress if one day it starts to hurt or "looks funny", its totally normal :) And no, baby will not tear it off the muscle wall, it might flip on its side, but it wont go anywhere. 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.
