Anyone else due in December 09?



Recommended Posts

Just curious to know if there are any bandsters that are near myself in pregnancy. Everything seems to be going fine with me.. other than some port pain. I know I've very early in but it's strange how it feels. When I went for an unfill after confirming the pregnancy, the doctor said that's normal. I'm a year out.

Other than that, I'm doing great! Have slacked off of exercise but started back today. I am still a long way from goal so I'm going to try and be healthy first of all... but try not to gain too much.

Would love to hear from others who are expecting.

Hey Ladies! I'm so excited to hear from others who are in the same stage as I am.

I had an unfill a few weeks ago. I still have 3cc's. Still get full faster than I used to but no "stuck" episodes. I'm trying to be healthy for myself and the baby but I'm sure hoping I don't gain much weight. I haven't lost what most people do in a year but every pound counts.

Either of you having any symptoms? Thankfully I've only dealth with a few moments of nausea. Dreams are my number one issue right now... some good.. some bad but always entertaining haha.

I am due Dec. 19th with Twins! I was banded may of 08. Lost 70 lbs. and now have gained 10. I know I have to gain especially with twins but it's still scary. My ob says i should gain up to 50 my lapband dr. says only up to 35! That really confuses me! I have to see a specialist because i'm considered high risk because its twins and i'll be 35 when I deliver and I had toxemia with my dd. I had a subchorionic hemmorage early on and my docs want me to take it easy so I can't excercise. Don't know that I could if they said i could because I get so out of breath already and I'm only 16 weeks! good luck to everyone!

      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.
