If you are on a full liquid diet, try the Campbells Soup at hands, they come in all different flavors. I strained like the cream of Brocolli to get the large pieces out of it and it was really good.

Hello everyone, I'm a newbie and saw I needed to introduce myself here. I've been here a few times before when I first had my surgery and finally decided to join. I'd like to say thank you to the owners of this site and the members, because you helped me tremendously in the beginning when I first had my surgery even though I wasn't a member with all of the posts for post and pre-op surgery questions. I now refer this sight to anyone who is considering or have been approved for the surgery. I had my surgery 12/08 and have been doing pretty well since, lost approx 60 pounds so far. Look forward to all the information/support I'm sure I will continue to gain from here.

Thank you for your well wishes. I'm still moving slow...I have the 5 incisions, just like when they put the band in. Haven't taken any pain meds today.

I can't help but feel a little guilty for putting the baby through all of this...all the anesthesia, pain medication, etc. I know they had to take the band out, but I still have that guilt. I just pray that the baby wasn't harmed during this. I would have a real hard time forgiving myself if something did happen. I just have to trust God.

I wish I didn't have to lose my band, but it was for the best. I've lost 80 lbs and believe I have truly made the lifestyle changes necessary to not gain the weight back. Since I had my band unfilled, I only gained 3 lbs, so I was doing pretty well. Oh well. Such is life, right?

To be honest, I don't think I'll have the band put back in after the baby's born.

You and your baby will be fine. I had Severe Hyperemisis with my daughter and had to have emergency gall bladder removal surgery at 16 weeks and never took one prenatal Vitamin and she's as healthy as can be. I just found out I'm pregnant post Lap Band and the extreme nausea has set in and is taking a hold of me something fierce, and it just week 9 or 10 (I can't keep up anymore :frown:). I am hoping and praying it doesn't last as long this time around, but it looks like its going that way right now. I am so sick of throwing up I don't know what to do. I'm in pain so bad from it that it hurts to just breathe sometime. I'm going to call my surgeon today to see if my band has slipped since they did my unfil a couple of weeks ago. I'm thinking that's why I'm hurting so much, but I'm praying for the best. I hope you and your baby are doing well.
