Sweet Change

Has everyone or (are you currently) been pregnant with the lapband? I have had the band for 2 years and recently had a baby.. I noticed there are not any posts in the group maybe you wanted to share your story(s)? Here is my prego pic of me with the lapband..share yours!

Well personally..I can drink all I want before I eat..but after I eat and I take even one drink its like liquid has no where to go but back up (not vomit but fill up like a cup lol) ...after I learned how it worked and I learned how to control it I found that I didnt loose any weight during that time..so I am sure it was just pushing the food through and making more room .. its just hard..I love having something cold to drink after a bite of hot food ugh.. oh well..its totally worth it to me

NO WAY!

I do not regret my choice, I love how I feel and look. I have lost 85 lbs in a year and a half..only have 15 till my initial goal (which is what I weighed in HS) so if I dont hit it..its not that big of a deal..I also just found out that I am pregnant..if I didnt have the surgery I wouldnt be where I am now. I am so excited, and as another fine lady said your still early in your journey trust me the first two weeks of mine were horrible, I couldnt keep anything down ..the Dr prescribed me Nexium and then I was fine..The weight loss didnt start "showing" till after my first couple fills wich was about 6 months in...Even though I had been loosing slowly before then I just didnt see or feel it. Then I started swimming in my clothes and I just smiled..it will get better..just do what your supposed to..eat and drink how your supposed to and of course you have to make the effort by working out..the band is just a tool..but it will be fine..Keep your chin up! Dont rush it

My sister is going through the same thing, yet she has had the band for almost 2 years it becomes a problem ever so often. She is going through that right now..BUT she cant even drink Water sometimes..which is obviously a problem, she went to the Dr. and they did this test where they put dye into her system to see if its "running right" lol..and they said it was but she is miserable. I told her to have them let more liquid out even if it is a tiny bit. I am sorry your going through that and I agree with "finding me" that you should tell your Dr. because you dont want to do any damage to yourself..you only have one of those.

I will be on a liquid diet for 5 days. My doc says the length of time you are on the liquid diet is directly related to the amount of fat around your liver.

OK ...then my question is, why do I not have to do the diet at all? :frown:
