Been gone a while, but I'm back and on track with my band baby!

I must be lucky or either my doctor attached something to my band that runs directly to my brain when he did my surgery because I have been very well but not over restricted since my surgery. I actually had lost down to a little less than 150 lbs (which I never thought I would see) when I found out I was pregnant in Nov of 06. Now...6 months pregnant I am still at 150 lbs. I had lost about 6 lbs in the beginning of my pregnancy, thankfully not because of morning sickness, but I have just now gained that back. I rock between 147 and 150. I have gained a belly where my "little man" is growing well, just haven't gained in numbers. I think that my biggest gain from the lap band surgery is the mental piece that I have had to have to lose the weight and keep it off. Although when I found out I was pregnant, I was immediately scared about gaining. Even now, even knowing that it is all baby, it is hard to look at my tummy growing big again since I had lost all of it and had a nice semi-flat stomach. I am just anxious to continue and meet my new son come June.
