I had my baby on March 18th. I was completely emptied for my pregnancy because my doctor said that’s what they had too do so that I can get enough nutrition for the baby (I now have heard that they do not have to do that unless its necessary) and gained 52 pounds! I got my fill of 2.5cc right at the 6week mark and really didn’t feel too much of a difference. It’s so hard with my 4 ½ year old and my two month old to go to the gym! I eat pretty badly and getting used to eating the way I did before is harder than I thought it would be. I’m so scared I won’t get back on track with it, especially since I had been at my goal weight for 10 months before getting pregnant. I just made my next appointment to get a little more liquid put in. Hope the restriction helps with the eating!

I was banded in 2005 lost at most 83 pounds then welcomed our first child Sept of 2007, had a loss pregnancy in 2009, and our most recent child May 2011. Averaging a gain of 35-40 pounds after all the pregnancies. I have not found the same weight loss patterns as before kiddos. I just went again today for another fill after being unfilled in December after a week of not being able to eat solid food. I wish there was a group to help us postpartum banders with tips and support to get back on track.
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Enjoy this time!
