Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, just found out that i was pregnant a couple of days ago. it was a big surprise for us. we have two children and i wanted more but wanted to wait until i lost more weight. well, i just got off the phone with my dr's office, i am scheduled for my 3rd fill tomorrow. (i was banded july 10th and have ONLY lost 26pds) anyways, the receptionist said they will probably want to take all my fill OUT!!! WAIT a minute, i haven't hardly lost that much weight and really don't have a lot of restriction. i am so scared. i gained 60 pds with my daughter and 50 with my son. i do NOT want to have an unfil. i really feel like the baby will still get plenty of nutrients from me. what should i do???? Help quick!!

Being past the age and ability to have babies, I am just flying blind here!!! I have read of women who go with things as they are until they get to a point of feeling too restricted. Have you searched for the other pregnant bandster posts? That might be the best place to start. If you can't find them let me know, I may have a suggestion!

and BTW---CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! A baby--how very very special!!!

Lucky you!!!

Kat

      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.
