I to have an empty band and I'm 14 weeks pregnant. This is my first successful pregnancy. I have gained 3 pounds. So a little under a pound a month since becoming pregnant.

Just continue to eat small healthy meals often and enjoy your pregnancy :)... I look at it this way I hope to not gain more then 15 to 20 pounds but even if I gain 75 once the baby is here ill go get a fill and start losin!!

I'm 16 weeks and gained 2 lbs so far. I never had my first fill because I got pregnant one month after the band was put in. I see myself starting to eat all sorts of stuff I'm not supposed to like bread, Pasta, and M&M's. This is my 3rd and last pregnant so I'm going to enjoy it! After I give birth I will get a fill and start losing again. I initially lost 30lbs, I'm hoping to gain less than that during thd pregnancy.

Enjoy your pregnancy!!!!

I am now 8.5 weeks. The port pain went away not sure what caused it? I haven't had any Fluid removed, I have 6cc in currently, however I am still able to eat. I lost a pound so far :) I'm hoping not to gain more than 11 lbs. once I'm past my first trimester I am back to hitting the gym! I can't wait!!

I recently gave birth to twins (9/18/12). I had my band emptied at 24 weeks and I had gained 20 lbs at that point, but my band was getting more restrictive. I weighed 240 lbs when I gave birth...so I gained 70lbs during my pregnancy. I am now 222 pounds and just had my band adjusted to 4cc. I can't believe I lost so much control and gained so much. It makes me angry that I have to start this journey over again. I know if I did it once, I can do it again...I can loose 50 lbs by March!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
