Thanks guys!! All the encouragement helps!!!

Hi! Had my band 8/2010 lost 60# and gor pregnant that following may i only gained 25# even though i was only supposed to gain 15, ha! I actually had lots of port discomfort before getting pregnant and was so worried while pregnant but never had any issues!! Now that I'm no longer prego the discomfort returns from time to time...but i had a perfectly normal pregnancy (just a little high blood pressure) and delivered at 305# vaginally and i wanted to go all natural but having to be induced and over 48 hours later no baby i gave in to the epi and let me tell you it was awesome!! Lol i had a mirror and watched her being born and only took ten minutes of pushing so if people tell you that you have to have a c section they're full.of it! My dd is now 8.5months and I've been nursing it's been a struggle with supply but I'm doing it and since I've gained another 25# after having her I'm going in Monday to start my fills again I'm just worried it will effect my already horrible supply we'll see keep me in your prayers and i will do the same for you!

First off Congrats!!! I was banded 8/20/10 lost 60lbs then got pregnant!! It is so exciting and amazing!! I tried my best to stick to a healthy diet and limited my intake and was able to only gain 25 lbs although my baby is 8months now and i am nursing and i think everyone telling me nursing would make me lose weight got to my head bc i am almost back to pre op weight!! Ugh so frustrated i am getting fills again starting Monday and i cant wait although i am terrified it will effect my milk supply :/ also I've gotten so used to my old eating habits it's gonna be hard to change...so when I think about it i just tell myself next time around stick to my usual diet and don't go off track (unless you get a craving of course!! )

Hi guys! Tonight is my first night on this app and was looking for support! I'm 26 and a mother to a gorgeous 8 month old baby girl! I got banded at 340lbs in hopes of losing weight to become a mommy and sixty lbs less later i was pregnant!! Well i am currently bfing but have put on almost 50lbs back!! So i am going in a week from today to start getting fills again but I'm afraid i won't do as well as the beginning so i need help! I'm also afraid it will effect my already poor milk supply... hope to hear from some of u!!
