I'm Pregnant!!!!

Just wanted to share my good news with all my fellow bandsters. I am 8 weeks pregnant and very excited about welcoming our 2nd child in April.

I went for a partial unfill yesterday and what a difference! Dr. Kurian only removed .06, but I can actually eat for the first time in weeks without taking several trips to the bathroom. It was really becoming annoying. Starving all the tie and not being able to eat. And losing an additional 8 pounds while pregnant was a bit scary.

Today was smooth sailing. I ate yogurt, bananas, PBJ, and pulled pork. Not one trip to the bathroom!!!!! Now I just have to try my hardest to only gain the 25 lbs my OB recommended. Hopefully I won't get too carried away with my new found looseness.

Wish me luck!!!

Congratulations and good luck! :clap2: I will be very interested to hear how the pregnancy goes with the band. I am not yet banded, but I hope to be soon. I have had 2 pregnancies that were no picnic beings I am so overweight. I had gestational diabetes and in genearl just felt like poop. We want to have 1 more baby, but I REALLY want to lose some weight first. I am hoping the Lap Band is going to happen for me so I am of course very curious how a pregnancy goes with the band. :)

Thanks Boo Boo amd Mama. I too am curious to see how a banded pregnancy goes. Right now I am in the tired trimester, but I don't think it is as bad this time aroud. I used to nap everyday after work when I was pregnant with my daughter (pre band / 200+ lbs to start). WHile napping isn't an option with a two year old, I don't feel the constant need for sleep as I did last time. 90 pounds is certainly helping so far.

Hopefully things will continue smoothly through semesters 2 and 3.

And God Bless you for wanting a third Mama. I'm not sure I could handle the jump from playing one-on-one to zone defense!!!!

Congrats!!

I hope to be pregnant soon as well. What prenatal vitamins are you taking?

I was originally taking procare with DHA, but I soon started having trouble tolerating them. Swithed to Duet (another one with a DHA supplement, but the same thing kept happenning - pill felt "stuck" for hours and it was a battle not to throw it up.

I ended up asking my OB for a chewable and he gave me Nutrinate. I am supplementing the DHA on my own (Nordic Naturals - strawberry flavored).

I haven't had any problems with the chewables, but I also had .6 cc's removed from my band, so that might have been the problem all along.

Start your prenatals a few months before you try to conceive if you can.
