Unexpected Pregancy



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! Oops - we're pregnant! I was banded in February and was cruising right along with my weight loss and just found out I'm expecting. Doesn't take much for us to get pregnant - just one time when my husband's too lazy to go to get them out of the drawer and that's it. You think we would have learned by now 4 pregnancies later!! Just goes to show they are gifts from God. I did want one more baby - but wanted to lose a lot more weight first. However, I am very happy and am looking forward to not gaining 80 pounds with this pregnancy as I did with the other two. I did go through a miscarriage last July - so please say a prayer for me that this pregnancy will be fine. I'm due right around the date that I had my surgery - late February! The band is doing it's job already because by this point in my previous pregnancies I had gained about 10 pounds by now. I haven't gained anything yet. Any advice would be appreciated by anyone who has had a band baby!

Thanks!

Jeanette

Congratulations. Babies are gifts from God. I saw my step-grandson (2 weeks old) today & called myself Mommy to him instead of Grandma. Oops. But I love that feeling and I pray everthing will go well for you.

Good for you!!! Well done! Children ARE a gift from God. What an exciting time! Remember, now is not the time to diet, so make sure you gain SOME weight! Okay, maybe not 80 pounds! I hope you will allow us to follow you through your pregnancy and keep us posted throughout. There are lots of great pray-ers here on LBT, so you will be up on our list! God Bless you!!!

that gives me hope! my dr. said he wanted me to wait a year and half to get pregnant! I don't want to wait a year and a half but I also don't want to hurt my band.

I'm anxious to see how you do!

congrats!

      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.
