Hi all, so I've had my band for over 2 years. We where having fertility treatments since last September. The tablets I was on made me really sick so much I couldn't drink because my stomach must have swelled so much. I went back to the nurse who has done all my fills and she told me that I had to have my band emptied. In the past few months since its been empty I have put on nearly 2.5 stone!! I can't say I have been eating really bad or to be totally honest really good!!! Probably just the same food as I was with my band full but slightly bigger portions. And I'm also into a lot of raw fruit/veg juicing I use this as my Breakfast where as before I used to skip breakfast all together.

I'm now nearly 8 weeks pregnant with twins and I hate how fat I've gone again! I know I will feel bloated with the pregnancy but I honestly feel like a whale!! I'm so big people have started to notice and point out how I've put weight on! It can't be the pregnancy because it's too soon to show!

Exercising has become really hard for me as I'm now allowed to get my heart rate too high because recently I have been fainting a lot, I can't walk for more than 10 mins without going dizzy!!

Has anyone else struggled with having band emptied?

Any advice on how to lose weight while pregnant?

I feel so down I don't even want to leave the house!!

Be joyful you are honored with twins! Many do not get the opportunity.

I'm thinking you should just relax and be as healthy as you can

be. Walking when you are able.... Eating as well as you can and concentrate on growing babies. It is not easy. Best wishes on a good pregnancy
