City: Riverdale State: MD | Pregnant
I have been away for a while. At first I was sitting on pins and needles waiting to find out if we were pregnant. We are. Now I am sitting on pins and needles waiting to see how much weight I gain. I have never before been concerned about gaining weight while pregnant but this time...well, this time I am freaking out. I want so badly to be think again. We didn't plan this and are still adjusting to the information but never the less after only 30lbs loss we are pregnant. I was really geared up to lose the next 30lbs which would have left me with my last big hurdle of 30lbs. Oh well.
Now I am trying to figure out how am I going to get in the recommended nutrition. I'd love to hear from other bandsters who have found creative ways to get in the protein, calcium etc. Lately I have been having a tablespoon of peanut butter or I have been making shakes using non-sweet soy milk (loaded with antioxidants and protein).
I haven't had any cravings which is truly a blessing. I have however gained 3lbs and I am only 6wks today!!

| Congratulations! I don't have any answers for you, but I wanted to wish you well, and hopefully bump your thread to give someone who's been in your shoes a chance to see it and respond.
Again, congratulations mom! Is this your first?

State: New York | There are several pregnant bandsters on this forum who can best answer your questions. One source of vitamins, protein, and calcium are fortified cereal like protein fortified Special K (10 grams of protein in a serving). Congrats to you and your hubby!

HI Theresa,
How are you? I too feel so left out as I barely visit Lap Band anymore. All of the other members are attempting to lose weight where as I must focus on nutrition and possibly putting on a few pounds. I asked the moderator to provide a room for those of us who are pregnant but my request went unanswered.
I am due in April. I haven't put on my pounds. In fact I believe I have put on less than 10 lbs. It would proabably be less if I could hold down water. Last night I was able to drink and entire glass full and felt wonderful. Before the end of the first trimester I could stand the taste of water.
I truly believe the band is assisting in keeping the cravings and hunger down. I forget daily that I am pregnant and I certainly am not eating nearly as much as I have in the past.
Hey, that ticker is moving in the right direction! Good for you.
Lisa
