Pregnant And Searching For A Buddy!

So I'm 8 months out from surgery and pregnant (had doctor approval first)! Now I'm 6 weeks pregnant but wanting to stay on track. I definitely want to be healthy about it for the baby's sake but I don't want the same mentality I had with my first child (pre banding). I don't want to gain 60 lbs again when I am still so over weight. 11 is the MAX I want to gain, and that's what doctors recommend with my BMI. Is anyone else that is pregnant want to pair up and be my buddy?! :rolleyes:

 

<3, Amanda

hi,

I'm not expecting yet, but can i give you some advice?

Listen to what your obgyn recomends as far as your weight gain, and also talk to your lapband surgon about how to safely eat while pregnant and banded. The obgyn is looking for your baby to get the proper nutrtion via what you eat diet wise and maybe with the help of a nutrtionist and your lapband team you can give your baby the healthy nutrtion it needs for growth, and you can avoid the massive weight gain that for some comes with pregnancy via the old school of thought that momma should gain 50 for her baby. Congrats on your baby and keep me posted on how you are doing, as I'm hoping to get pregnant after i hit my goal with the lapband.
