I had my my survey in 2008 lost 100 pounds was happy with my results! Had to take my fill out because we got pregnant. I am breastfeeding but wanted a fill. Doctor said he didn't recommend X-ray due to barium and breastfeeding??? So now my baby is 10 months and I am back to my pre surgery weight.

Any thoughts on going on the pre-op diet of fluids and Proteins while I finish up? What calorie intake would anyone recommend? We are weaning now and he nurses at night.

Signed!

Bummed and no will power

So bummed can't even check spelling!

Hang in there. You are doing the right thing. You will be able to get your fill soon. Go back to basics if possible and if the weather allows it take your lo with you for a long walks. Cardio is my best friend when i slip off my band waggon. Good luck!

My son is 15 months old and I'm still nursing. I too gained all my weight back- 110lbs. I got a fill on 3/12. My doc said there was no issue with the barium and X-ray during the fill. I broke my left wrist and got tons of X-rays for that- way more than the fill. I am losing slowly- have lost 20lbs since fill. I say talk to your pediatrician and have the ped and the bariatric doc talk and they'll get you filled ASAP! No need to wean to fill and lose! In fact, breast feeding will help you lose once you are filled!

Good luck to you all. I actually had a baby without opening the band at all last May and list 15 lbs during pregnancy buy found out in September that the pregnancy made the band slip! I had to open my band for six Weeks and luckily the band went back into place. I gained 40 lbs back I had lost 117 and am now struggling to lose it. 16 down 23 to go. So good luck on your journeys. I learned the hard way next pregnancy I won't take the chance!
