first of all calm down and know this does not mean the end of your weight loss. Congratulations on your baby!

You will have to go see your doc asap. You will probably have your band completely unfilled to protect the baby. They want the baby to get all the nutrients he/she needs. But the great thing about the band is you can have it tightened again after you have the baby and resume your weight loss!

Depending on how much fill you have, you may not need it taken out at all. I only needed about 1/4 of what I had taken out, and that was only due to some extreme tightness! So take it easy :biggrin: Everything will be fine!

I was told I didnt have to get my fill out as long as I got lots of Protein and wasnt having morning sickness. He said we would just monitor the baby. Well that went fine until Monday when I all of a sudden got very very tight so today I got .8cc out and I feel much better. How much are you able to eat?? Are you really tight??

I can eat a small meal. I have been able to keep everything down w/o a prob. I have 2.8cc in but only 1.4 is in me band ( I have a 10cc) I feel alot better about everything. I am over that shock.....as for Protein do I have to double my amount now.I have a hard enough time doing the 40-60mg per day.

My question is if you are only 3 days post op why didnt they run an HCG on you in the hospital?!? It is a routine test given to everyone 50 and under that hasnt had a hysterectomy where I work! That is crazy. Congrats but do talk to the Dr about what kind of anesthesia you had durning surg and make sure all the meds you had operatively are ok with baby!

I think she meant 3 months post-op, no days :w00t: In her original post she mentions being banded in Nov. So, she probably did have the preg test pre-surgery. I was a little horrified thinking that myself, as I've even twice had to have pregnancy tests before getting a fill because my doc used to use flouro!

      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.
