Hi, I just wanted to congratulate you on the baby. I see we were banded on the same day. I haven't been in the same situation as you, as I am well beyond having children at this stage of the game. However, when I had both my children, I was already obese. So, I was determined not to use being pregnant as an excuse to eat out of control and gain even more weight. I was just extremely careful and managed to only gain 21 pounds with my first and 24 with the second. Then, I lost all of that right after giving birth. Best of luck to you. I loved being pregnant!
