Hi June 1st I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy and with that I gained 75lbs. After birth I lost 10lbs of baby so I'm not counting that and only 10lbs of me. My Dr, said he filled me back to where I was before but I can eat a lot more than I should be. Any one else having trouble losing weight after pregnancy????

Don't feel bad I gained 74lbs during my pregnancy. My baby boy is a month old and I have lost ten pounds which was him and the placenta lol. I hope to get back on track once I get a fill.

Thank you guys for the encouragement. I get a fill next week, I hope it will help me start to eat less. I am trying not to be depressed about the weight gain but I really want it off!!!!

Thanks for the info. I'm scheduled for a fill July 21st. I hope to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight by the end of the year. I had breast reduction surgery back in 2003 so I am very blessed to be able to breast feed. I dont think he's getting as much as he should though so I breast feed and give him formula. I really just want to get this weight off, I was ok with because I was pregnant but now I'm just overweight and I want it off like NOW!!!

I got banded April 2008. I successfully went from 280 to 160 in 1yr 6mths. Now I am 230 and so upset. I feel like I'm starting over fromthe beginning. I need some encouragement. Any mothers out there successfully take the weight take back off after being pregnant. I am also breast feeding how will the lapband effect that?

Hi, I'm only 8 weeks and I am so worried my baby is not getting enough nutrients. Neither of my doctors want to take liquid out of my band. So I decided to eat more small meals through out the day.

Me too my lapband it overfull and I still have 40 pounds to lose. I guess I have to work harder with exercise and have a stricter diet.

Hello everyone looks great! I just wanted to post my current pics. The first is me at 275 the second is me now at 185.

I'm taking today off tomorrow I'm going to try a spin cycle class.

Well I called and of course my doctor is out of town. I feel fine but I do know that I'm not getting any more fills. I don't want any complications. I have been doing great and I don't want anything to stop my progress.

Ok so I've been reading some of the threads and I just realized the the relize band only holds 9cc's. I went to see my doctor a few weeks ago and she said I was at 9.7cc's! Should I be concerned?:thumbup: I'm not sure if I should call her and ask because she did not seem to concerned about it.

Me too.... I pray everyone is doing well!

Because I'm doing so well.......

I'm going to do water aerobics again tonight. I've been working reallly hard this week so I pray this weekend when I weigh myself I finally break my plateau and get out of the 190's.
