Hello Bec,

I just joined recently (today). I was banded on 10/15 and I am also working towards a baby. My husband and I tried In Utran Insemination 3 times and it did not work. My fertility Dr. did not set a specific BMI goal but said losing weight would really help so...I got banded. I was told I could not get pregnant for one year after being banded so my goal is to make the most of this year so I can start trying for a baby again. Good luck!

Welcome back Bec and welcome Brooke! Congrats on trying to have a little one! I have 3 girls who are nearly grown. They grow up way too fast. Enjoy this time with DH. Soon you'll be preg. I know of another bandster with a similar story and she did get preg after losing the weight. Best wishes to both of you!

Thanks everyone.

Brookelynn the specialist has told me that I can go back to him when I am 116kg or 255lbs but I have decided that I need to be at least 98kg or 215lbs, that is something I need to do to give myself the best possible chance. DH and I have been trying for 12yrs and I hjave to do all I can.

Good luck with everything and I look forward to chatting with you.

      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.
