still pregnant, still loosing, still happy with my band

I'm 17 weeks pregnant now and down 50 pounds since my surgery in November. I'm surprised to say both of those things about myself. I had one fill before I new I was pregnant but have no restriction. I'm not sure why I'm still loosing weight can be attributed to just one thing. I think just having the band in place has decreased my appetite. I think the year of prep I went through before banding may have helped a little. Going on liquids before and after surgery surely changed me. I think my mind kind of snapped a little but, in a good way. I no longer pre-hunger eat. Which I used to do a lot. Thinking I would be to busy to eat when I did get hungry. Weight loss now is only about 2-3 pounds a month and I'm walking at least two miles a day. My life really is changing. And I'm happy with it so far :thumbup: I have tons more stamina than I used to. No more naps. When walking, My boyfriend says that I have a 2nd gear. Ha! Some day I will be jogging.:w00t:

Thats Great! You sound like you have a really good attitude and thats a big plus! I got my band on 2/4/10 and I feel like it has actually made me "feel" and be aware of when I am getting full now......I've lost a total of 35+ pounds since I started the process in September but I am VERY happy! Good luck with the baby and everything you do! Peggy
