with the band, results vary

Congrats Dev, you look fantastic

Dev you look great! My daughter & I had surgery together also. She had bypass but because of my health issues the surgeon would only do band on me. She of course was at goal weight in 6 months. I on the other hand am still working for every pound. But we have talked about it and she feels like I have learned to eat healthier than she has. She lost her weight soo fast she hardly had time to wrap her mind around how she needed to eat.
I think the journey is different for each of us.

Dev...you are looking radiant being pregnant! It looks like you are carrying your weight all in the stomach! So looks like your band is still working for you while pregnant....again you look beautiful...and congrats on your new bundle of joy!

Thanks! I feel like I'm carrying half the weight in my legs, ankles, and feet because (just like last time) I've packed on plenty of fluid! I had to do 5 days of steroids for a bad rash on my back and that got rid of all the excess fluid for a little while (lost 4-5 lbs in 2 days), but once I finished the steroids I went right back to having cankles! Last time I gained around 23-24 lbs and went home from the hospital only 4 lbs over baseline. I've gained a little faster this time, so I'm really trying to watch myself.
