Recommended Posts

Hi guys its been awhile since i posted

well its been a whole year since i was banded i cant believe that the time has flown by although its been slow going sometimes with weight loss losing little by little is better that putting it on...

i have not long found out im 8 weeks pregnant just when you get to know all you can know about the band and feel confident that every thing is normal. i fall pregnant and now have to learn about pregnancy and the band although i am very very excited im a little scared 2.. i am lucky to have a great GP who has treated another woman that has had the band and been pregnant so im happy that she knows exactly what im going through..:w00t:

well guys thanks for reading this and hope you all have a great journey and success like i am so far having.

Congrats on the baby! I was banded in 2002 and had my daughter in 2006 so I can relate. I was afraid that I would have to empty my band to get the baby enough food to thrive. I had not had a fill in my band for 5 years, and only had around 2.3cc (out of 4cc) in it when I was pregnant, and luckily I did not have to have any saline removed at all. I only gained 10 lbs. during the preganancy and lost an additional 10lbs. I had a healthy 7 lb baby girl and no side effects to either of us with regards to the band. 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.
