CindyLou Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 So happy!!!! 50+ lbs down and having a baby!!! What more could I ask for?? OH, I know...I could ask for a low weight gain!! lol I was way too tight for a while, but luckily the last month I seem to have found my sweet spot. I plan to keep my fill the entire time, so keeping my fingers crossed I don't get too tight. If any of you have had a pregnancy since you were banded, I'd love to hear how things went.
suzpars Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 Congrats, best wishes and prayers for a easy pregnancy.

janellody Posted March 28, 2010 Report Posted March 28, 2010 Congrats! We plan on having a baby later on in about a year.. so this is exciting! Dr. Miranda told me that I should get an unfill towards the beginning of the pregnancy. She said it is best since there might be morning sickness and stuff like that. Also, later on in the pregnancy you need to eat a little more so that the baby can get some of the calories and start growing. Just make sure it is ok to keep your fill, you don't want to deprive the baby of the extra food you should eat while pregnant.
MyNewLife Posted March 28, 2010 Report Posted March 28, 2010 Cindy, I just wanted to say Congrats! I am so glad for you and your hubby! Carrie
CanadianBandster Posted March 29, 2010 Report Posted March 29, 2010 Congratulations I am expecting too! Due in September.
bogiesmom Posted March 29, 2010 Report Posted March 29, 2010 Cindy, Not sure what your due date is but a late December, early January one would make your bundle of joy a Capricorn like me! I hope the baby is not born on January 1, like I was though so you do not miss that tax break for 2010
AngieB Posted March 29, 2010 Report Posted March 29, 2010 Congratulations I am expecting too! Due in September. Did you get an unfill for the pregnancy. My friend is newly pregnant and doesn't want to get a complete defill. Curious as to what your doc advised. She has had morning sickness....blah!
BrownEyedGirl Posted March 29, 2010 Report Posted March 29, 2010 OMGosh! Congratulations!!! What wonderful news! Make sure to post pics. Including sonogram pics. Aaaaw.. a new little bebe. I just said a prayer for your little family.
BrandNewDawn Posted March 29, 2010 Report Posted March 29, 2010 Congratulations!! So very happy for you. What a special blessing. Take care of yourself.
CanadianBandster Posted March 29, 2010 Report Posted March 29, 2010 I didnt get an unfil. I had actually had one not too long ago. I thought I could have a tiny bit added and had an appointment but then found out I was expecting and didnt get it. I am at 1.6 right now. My doctor and I thought I would be alright and all has been good I too had morning sickness - BAD. I drank a lot of slimfast and ate soup crackers for about 2 months BLAH. But its much better now and I can eat pretty much anything as long as I take it slow. I just make sure that everything I eat is healthy so that I can optimize what I am taking in I have gained 4 pounds, and am 14 weeks 3 days. But I sure am getting a belly. I admit it is hard after losing and have PS so I have to remind myself that it is OKAY! My doctor is very happy with my weight and says I am on track. I wasnt a twig, I was still between 136-140 so all is good Good luck - feel free to PM anytime!

Also, later on in the pregnancy you need to eat a little more so that the baby can get some of the calories and start growing. Just make sure it is ok to keep your fill, you don't want to deprive the baby of the extra food you should eat while pregnant. My OB said no need for an unfill unless I start having issues. As long as I'm getting enough nutrients and baby is growing fine then she is fine even if I don't gain very much. I'm still in the "overweight" BMI category, which only calls for a 15 lb weight gain, so I should be able to accomplish that with the fill have now. I've been losing super slow.... So I'm keeping my fingers crossed about the tightness. Congratulations I am expecting too! Due in September. Congrats to you too!!! Hows it going with the band so far?? I see you had an unfill of a little in Sept. 09, but you were at your goal, right? I'm still 20lbs from my goal....I wanted to be all the way, but I couldn't wait any longer
