    I had lapband surgery in 2010 and just had a baby 8 months ago. I didn't gain any weight my whole pregnancy and was very scared about it but the doctors did weekly ultrasounds to ensure the baby was fine and told me not to worry about it. I carried full term and she was 5 lbs when born and now weighs 20 and is perfect

    That is wonderful for you not gaining and for a healthy happy baby. I just fear the whole thing, because I will already be high risk!

    I have gained maybe 10lb back... Baby is growing great and I am also healthy. As long as you stick to your rules and don't think "im eating for two" only take on the extra 300 calories a day you should be fine. Also at the start of my 3rd trimester when I actually started to see the scale go up... I stopped looking so now at 32 weeks I have NO CLUE where I am a at but hubby said he would tell me when I went over the 10lb mark :-) lol

    33 weeks in today and I lost 13lbs in the beginning due to Hyperemesis (severe morning sickness). I have gained back 8 of those lbs. so still 5lbs down. I'm definitely ALL belly. ETA: I'm 4'11- the shirt is a size small, skirt is an XS. post-167770-0-07674000-1396300707_thumb.jpg

    you look awesome you're a tiny little thing.. I'm 18 weeks along and I'm starting to show I've only gained 2 lbs so I'm thinking I'm right on track.
