For the health and nutrition of your baby, you will need to have the fluid
removed from your band. This is absolutely necessary to insure the baby
gets proper nutrition. Protein drinks are fine. You will be more hungry,
but stick with fish, chicken, fruits and veggies. Also yogurt, and skim
milk for the calcium your baby needs. If you do gain a few extra pounds,
it will come right off once the baby is here and you get your band
refilled. Congrats on your baby and best of luck!

Congradulations on being pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To insure the health of
yourself and your baby, may I make a suggestion? You might want to
consider a healthy program like Weight Watchers. No only will you and your
baby get the proper nutrition that you both will need, but getting on the
scale once a week will help keep your weight loss in check.

I was told you don't have to get all the fluid drain from your band as long
as you are able to eat and you are not getting sick. Talk to your NUT and
doctor.
Congrats!!! On the baby.

I don't have the lapband but had RNY Open at age 24. At 9 months out I got
pregnant when I was almost at goal (160 sz10-12) Since I had another baby
and am now 7 months with my 4th and last. For the most part it is fact that
your pregnancy WILL take anything needed to allow your baby to grow. This
means eat what you need to as this allows for the pregnancy to take and you
to have something left over otherwise your teeth and muschle will will the
first things to sacrafice. For me it was 3 sm meals and 2 snacks watching
carbs because of Gest Diabetes despite not bieng overweight at the begining
of pregnancy. Most people will gain some pounds despite the wls because the
pregancy will take what it needs for the sake of the baby. Cutting back
this natural happening risks the health of both of you. Not snacking and
excerices during and after will allow normal gain and then loss after. Now
Since 2 Preg yes I had the opening stretch,This happens because of the body
changes and abdominal pressure pushing up into the stomach and stoma area.
Most lapbands have to have thier baloon deflated towards the middle or end
to allow for this. It was made smaller with Scelero and worked well to get
me back down. With the fourth I am not sure but will be looking into seeing
if it is a option again as I am up more with more to have to loose after.
At least with the band they can fill it vs. surgery for other types. Good
Luck
