BulgeBeGone

I was banded 3 years ago, I have lost a total of 125 lbs and gained 30 back in the last 6 months. I had a really bad stomach bug that lasted 3 days and my Dr was scared I would slip from all the puking so they unfilled my band and I found out real quick that I NEEEEED my band!! lol. I gained 25 pounds because well I love food and I love to eat and I did just that.. and stopped going to the gym. I know, I won't make excuses it was all me lol. Anyway I started going back to the gym got some Fluid back in and was on a roll them BOOM sick as a dog for almost 3 weeks and found out that I was pregnant!!! I have PCOS and endometriosis so to be pregnant and not have been on all kind of meds is a MIRACLE. Anyway my little miracle has been growing for 7 weeks today. Had my 1st ultrasound at 6 weeks bc I am considered high risk and had a bloated ovum a few years ago and just wanted to make sure I was actually pregnant. Anyway all is well and healthy and I could not be any more excited!!! I am well aware of the risk of mc again and don't need any reminders of that. What I do need from you guys is any other banders preggo or already delivered. Did you get an unfill? When did you know you needed any unfil? I have a 14 cc band and I am currently at 8 ccs. the bariatric clinic says as long as I can get my Protein not to get an unfil until I needed it. But my band feels crazy tight and I wonder should I just get some out or do I just get it all unfilled again. I'm sick all day, not just in the morning so nothing sounds good right now except fresh fruit but I hope and pray I get lucky and this goes away after 2nd trimester arrives. If I get lucky I don't want to be so greedy that I gain a ton of weight. As my last 6 months showed I like to eat good food lol. anyway share your story thanks for reading my short novel lol....

The nurse told me I would have to do the two weeks but that I needed to start cutting back now sense I need to loose 30lbs. I really hope to have my surgery in Dec and with Thanksgiving I am worried I will not do so great with low-card but I know I can do it. But I am excited about the possibility of loosing that much in two weeks! That is crazy! Thanks for the response )

I do not have my surgery date yet but I hope to soon and I was starting to rethink my choice for the band and then I found you guys! I have enjoyed reading each of your success as well as your struggles. I have a long way to go I want to loose a total of 175lbs and I have to loose 30 pounds before my surgery so I have to go pretty much no carb for the next two months. I know I can do it I just would love some pointers for how any of you lost post op weight to "shrink your liver"? I have a nutrition class on Nov 10th but I need to get started asap. HELP I'm so excited and can't wait to get one of those cute little tracker things
