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.

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.

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.

Those are awesome words Glenda. I too prayed before I got the surgery. I told myself if I get approved then I know God will see me through it. 85 pounds later I am a very happy lady!:smile2:

I had a fun time at water aerobics this afternoon. Not sure if I'm going to do anything this evening.

I got my butt kicked in aerobics and abs & back today.

Because 3 more pounds will finally get me out of the 190's!

I'm going to walk at lunch not sure about this evening yet. I want to play a game of dodge ball with some friends. If not I'll just go to the gym.

Wow take it easy Ceradad! I'm going to take a long walk on the treadmill today :-)

because I haven't reached my goal

I'm going to do abs & back today.

Doing water aerobics at lunch today then a nice walk this evening with my honey bunny LOL!

Dr. Schirmer did a good job. I am very pleased and Dr. Janet Dix Rocks! She does my fills.

I did not do my DVD at home and the weather sucks today too. I hate that I can't use the gym on base anymore.

I'm a year out with my realize band and I have not had any complications except once when it was too tight. I am not a my goal weight yet but I know I will be and could not have done it without the band.

Well no outside walking for me it's raining. I guess I'll workout with a DVD at home. :-(
