I had lapband surgery in 2010 and just had a baby 8 months ago. I didn't gain any weight my whole pregnancy and was very scared about it but the doctors did weekly ultrasounds to ensure the baby was fine and told me not to worry about it. I carried full term and she was 5 lbs when born and now weighs 20 and is perfect

That is wonderful for you not gaining and for a healthy happy baby. I just fear the whole thing, because I will already be high risk!

I have gained maybe 10lb back... Baby is growing great and I am also healthy. As long as you stick to your rules and don't think "im eating for two" only take on the extra 300 calories a day you should be fine. Also at the start of my 3rd trimester when I actually started to see the scale go up... I stopped looking so now at 32 weeks I have NO CLUE where I am a at but hubby said he would tell me when I went over the 10lb mark :-) lol

33 weeks in today and I lost 13lbs in the beginning due to Hyperemesis (severe morning sickness). I have gained back 8 of those lbs. so still 5lbs down. I'm definitely ALL belly. ETA: I'm 4'11- the shirt is a size small, skirt is an XS. post-167770-0-07674000-1396300707_thumb.jpg

you look awesome you're a tiny little thing.. I'm 18 weeks along and I'm starting to show I've only gained 2 lbs so I'm thinking I'm right on track.

      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.
