How are things going with the weight gain? I have been having similiar issues. You are a few months ahead of me, just wondering how things are going?

Hi Karen, Just wanted to know how things are going? How's the baby? How's the weight coming off. I am gaining fast. I almost got some lipo right before i found out I was pregnant. I feel you about wanting to maintain your figure. Just wanted to check to see how are things?

I am almost 10 weeks and got an unfill. I had already gained 7-13 lbs. maybe more. I started freaking out having anxiety attacks about how much weight I am gaining. I am getting big fast. Before my new found pregnancy. I was 170 lbs I had lost 80lbs total 2 years post opt, and I hadnt been that small since I was a kid. I shopped all the time and love all the clothes and my size. My husband and I have been married 4 years so I guess it's time. Anyways, I am reading now and I see all these comments about how others didnt get a complete unfil. I kinda wish I didn't get it all unfilled. I was just so hungry before my unfil. I hope I can lose it all. I already finding my pants not closing. I read in the some of the books you are suppose to only be gaining 3-4 pounds in the first trimester and I still have time to go, just getting bigger and bigger. My husband is happy to have me eating regularly again. I am just terrified about getting me back!! I am eating salads and trying to get the right foods in. I don't ever know what to eat now so I guess I am eating everything. It realy doesn't seem like I am eating everything, I am eating alot more than I used to, but I am HUNGRY!! Anyone have suggestions on what I should be eating?:confused:

were you having heartburn?

I understand your pain. I had to go back several times for my first fill because they could get it.. They could feel it just couldn't get in the needle in and they poked and poked like 16 times. Once I went and they bent the needle!! It was really frustrating and painful!! I finally found someone who could find it after a few pokes. So good luck with it. hopefully it will get better as you lose. My last fill was a bit better!

Hey there!! I just got a fill yesterday. This is my 3rd fill and the 2nd one was great until I started eating more and more at night so I thought I should go in for another fill, so yesterday, I went everything was great. I know I am suppose to be on liquids, I did good today,I had grits for dinner, however, tonight I screwed up (Used to eating at night) and I have 100 calorie snack and some dorittos. I know that was the wrong thing to eat and I am getting back on track, now I have the worst heartburn. My chest and back :crying:hurts and I was spitting earlier. I have learned what I can't do with this fill thus far, I have been trying to sip water it goes down but it's like ghurglin, I just hope I don't have to get an unfill, but I am concerned now is heartburn going to a regular thing or is it just because I screwed up?? Should I get a unfill??

Hey there Mike. I am definately interested. Any evening works for me!! I am in buckhead.

My fill wasn't that success full I go back in for another try next week. Right now I am eating everything.. I hope I can kick into losing mode again. Only lost 3 lbs since 2 week follow up.

I went for my first fill last week and they had a hard time finding it and had to poke around several times. I wonder does this damage the tissues inside and eventually make it tough to access?? I know a nurse who does dialysis and she says she has to stick patients sometimes in other places because the area gets tough that they stick constantly.. Any thoughts??

I had a half of one didn't do it for me like it used to... I say try it, It wasn't killing me but the gas was uncomfortable

I had the runs too!! I was going out of my mind!! it will stop.

I felt competely crazy after my band as well. Just as I do after getting my first fill which was today. I am not sure it's working and it's a very difficult process. It's a big emotional journey. I was dying for food and have been eating things that aren't great now. However, I am eating much better than I did before. I have lost 20lbs in 6 weeks which would have taken me 8 weeks being a workout queen and on a super strict diet. So my point is it's a journey. It's not always perfect. I am emotional eater and I love food and I always will. Just gotta find a healthy balance. Give yourself time!! Soon you will be saying I love my band. Also find someone who you can talk to. It's easier if you have a buddy!!

I had my first fill today and it wasn't my regular doctor who did the fill. He seemed like he didn't want to fill it too tight, so he barely filled it at all!! I asked him how my cc's was he putting in and he said a half of 1'cc so basically not a full cc he put in. He asked me did I feel any difference when I drank the water.. aaahhh I don't know. I was still feeling all the poking he was doing trying to find the port!! Friend tell me I should go back tommorow and make them do it over. My stomach is still sore and numb. Can I go back tommorow for a new fill is that too soon. I was hungry tonight. Suppose to be on liquids, very disappointed and confused!! Help!!
