I have currently put on 15 kilos (about 33lbs) duringthis pregnancy. Alot of people keep telling me that if I breast feed it will all come off quickly. Except, with my last baby breast feeding wasn't that easy and its not always a guarantee of losing weight anyway:mellow:

So I am thinking this thread will be good for some support after baby to get back on track.

I am planning to get my band refilled pretty quick after I have my baby, I am planning on going up in small amounts though, i would hate to be overfilled and breastfeeding, that woudl be a nightmare.

Unfortunately breast feeding didn't work for me. My daughter is a month old and I am gaining weight now. I think that I am eating out of bordom. I will be getting my first fill since getting everything removed in September. I am nervous because I don't have any restrictions right now and I am not sure how I will do with a fill. It is almost like I forgot about my band. That is dangerous!! I gained 45 lbs. with this pregnancy however, I still needed to lose about 60 lbs. I am now 90 lbs. away from goal. I will get a little bit in my band too. I don't want to over do it now. Thanks for the great support post.

I am really scared that when i get a fill after my son is born that my band will somehow not work anymore:glare: I know it sounds illy, but I just feel really out of control. I have put on 18 kilos, (40 pounds)...

I only have a week to go, then i will get back on track (hopefully)

Good luck with your fill :thumbdown:

OK not only did I fear this too; it's happening :drool:

I am out of control, I got out of control during pregnancy.I had 2.5cc pre-pregnancy and had a very good restriction and was losing amazingly. I was unfilled to 1.5cc and had semi-restriction up until around 6 month and it magically disappeared (which scared me; still does). I gained about 70lbs during pregnancy. I lost about 30lb really quick, now I'm stuck.

Had a refill a month ago, they put the whole 1cc back-I feel nothing. I feel like when I was first banded- very slight restriction, if I ate a huge bite of a burger and don't chew I'll feel the band (I hate myself for knowing this).

So..... I'm scared.

I have another fill on Tuesday, and if this one doesn't phase me I don't know what I'll do. I don't diet well, thus the band.

Sorry it hasn't been hapening for you Laura :) Hopefully your next fill will give you some restriction. I am 4 days off my due date and feeling like such a beached whale :)

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
