I've been at 205 since I found out I was pregnant. I fluctuate a pound or so here or there but I've been a steady 207 for two days now. I'm at 9 weeks. Is it too early for me to be gaining? I noticed I can't fit into some of my pants because of a little belly that I didn't have before.

I lost 13 pounds during the first trimester of my first pregnancy because of some awful morning sickness so I'm not sure if this is okay or if I need to lay off the munchies. LOL! Gaining weight is kinda freaky after being banded for 2 years. :biggrin:

ummm... ok, confession time... i gained DOUBLE DIGITS between my 5th and 13th week ... between 13 & 16, i lost 9 pounds...

i wouldnt sweat it for 2 pounds really. are you following bandster rules? i wasnt i was nauseated all the time and the only thing that helped was a Sonic lime fresh fruit slush (pure sugar pretty much)...

keep us posted...

Hahahaha ladies, I've been really moping since I weighed myself yesterday. Misery loves company, I hate to say I'm glad someone else gained more than they think they should so early!?

I'm emberassed to admit, I was losing the first week I found out, and in one friggin week I went from 212lb to 217lb. 5lb!! I'm not even unfilled much.. I've been eating a lot of crap, but no more than usual (I thought). I'm a bit bummed, and I keep saying "I'll do better today", and I am trying..but sweet cravings are ridiculous...and knocking out smoking and caffeine is triggering me to eat when I'm not hungry.

Just want to waaah with you.

I am hopeful though since you said you lost it losing.. I got all the tempting crap out of my house, so back to eating boring stuff.. hopefully.

I was bitching to DH I am dying for a fresh donut.. and I don't even eat donuts.. and I looked, we don't even HAVE donut places here.. DOH.. good thing, I know.. but I can't believe if I want a fresh donut, I can't get one!

well fairy, the reason i lost is cause i was too tight for about 2 of those 3 weeks.... i literally ate about 3-4 bites of food with each meal. the only reason i didnt lose more is cause of one of my cravings (still crave/eat them actually)...

Hostess Cherry pie... OMG!!!! soooo good. the funny thing is, i never used to like them. but now, i get one and eat 2 bites of it and then throw it in tupperware and it lasts a few days...

I've been "fairly" good. I've been having some major sweets carvings though. And I've been drinking milk which I haven't done in ages. I just didn't feel like I was getting enough calcium so I drink a glass or so a day. Oh, and I'm not drinking all of my water. I'm already getting up several times a night to pee, I won't sleep at all if I drink 8 glasses a day!!!

i STILL get up to pee at least 3-4 times a night ... it has gotten better, but geesh! no wonder i cant sleep..

I am really excited for everyone on here who has given birth after being banded and is currently pregnant! I am really really looking forward to the day my husband and I can start planning on being pregnant, which we hope will be sometime around one year! I really am wondering what it would be like to be pregnant as a banded person...heck just wondering what it would be like to be pregnant in general!

I don't understand why I gotta pee all the time, my uterus shouldn't be that big yet :smile:

I am drinking all my water, least doing that right.

Going to start back on myplate tomorrow and make myself accountable....

fairy, i cant remember when i started getting up TONS to pee it was pretty early though - maybe 6.5 weeks ??? ... at it's worst, i counted it was 15 times in one night... absolutely CRAZY!

I go about 4 or 5 times a night. I don't understand why either though. Weird, isn't it? All I'm sure of is the fact that I want to get as much sleep as I can now because once the baby's born...forget it. Those feedings every 2-3 hours in the beginning are brutal!

I think all the extra peeing at the beginning has to do with increased blood volume. I just considered it training for later, cuz believe me, it gets much worse in the third tri!

LOL, I'm sure... I don't feel pregnant right now though.

Good news, back to 212lb! I must have just eaten a lot of salt for a couple days and retained some Water.

That's funny Fairy because I'm back to 205 this morning.

Funnier still, I was 219 last night! What the heck!? I am not weighing myself anymore, I have been eating good for days, so I don't wanna know.

Hello all, I just want to say congrats to all the pregnany bandsters!! We are starting to try as of this month, I am 2 years post op and I am going to see my doctor to let him know tomorrow. I actually need a fill right now I havent been to see him in 8 months and I have gained about 15 lbs...I wonder if I should be trying to lose while TTC??? Any advice??

Well, you can sure keep working on losing weight, that's totally up to you. I was in desperate need of a fill before I got pregnant, so it actually works out that I may not end up needed an unfill. But that wasn't planned. BTW, I remember you from waaaaayyyy back in 2006. We banded the same month!
