Hello everyone my name is Ashley I am 22 years old and was banded in april of 09 right after easter! The surgery went well, and i have lost about 65 lbs in a year. I found out i was pregnant with my 2nd baby July, and although I am as happy as can be, and my little one seems to be doing just fine the numbers on the scale get a little depressing. I mean i just worked my tush off for a year to loose those 65 lbs and now i get to watch them be added on. Everyone says i look great, and i do feel great when i was pregnant with my first son i felt horrible the whole time, and just really un healthy. this pregnancy has litterally been a breeze. i mean little morning sickess in the beginning, food aversions, kinda hormonal, but those have all leveled out now. I started my pregnancy at 214 then by week 12 i weighed 208. mind you i go in about every month. next appt i weighed 212 and my last apt i weighed 218. no weighing myself i weight 223 I am 21 weeks prego so just over 5 months and total if you count from were i started my pregnancy at 214 i have gained 9 lbs. I am trying my best to be healhty as possible, and eat right but i seem to have a much bigger appetite. I have not gotten unfilled at all but have not gotten filled anymore either obviously. I know i have to gain weight i just dont want to loose all this hard work. I guess im asking if im on track right now. if what im experiancing weigh gain wise is normal and healthy for someone with a lapband!!! any support and even crticism would be really helpful it is very important to me that both me and baby come out healthy from this prego!!! oh btw Baby girl due febuary 16th via c section
