Congratulations!

If you are having a hard time eating solid Protein, I would recommend getting a slight unfill at the minimum.

congratulations, what a blessing. Don't worry about gaining weight because you will have to for the baby. You don't have to eat twice as much. You can continue to eat healthy and even exercise which is really good for labor preperation. I have been able to loose all of my baby weight within two months after having all three of my children. The problem with me which is why I was banded was to continue good eating habits.

Good luck and God bless you and the baby.

Congratulations and good luck!!!!

I also agree with the slight unfill. You may also find that your band sometimes gets really tight with pregnancy which can be rather unpleasant. Please keep us updated with how you are doing :0)

Hi guys,

So I got the de fill and went down from 7 cc's to 5 cc's. OMG I can eat too much now. I feel as though I was never banded and that scares me. I am trying to eat very balanced and healthy but am not used to the quantity. I gained 3 lbs. Guys I am so very scared right now.

      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.
