I had my son last December and was a year into my lap band down 45lbs. My son was very unexpected and I can't seem to get out of this mind set that it was a waste considering I gained 60 through my pregnancy and have only lost about 15lbs since I had him! Any words of encouragement?

first of congrats on your "unexpected" bundle of joy.

THe weight loss initally probally kicked your body into gear for conception and you got your body healthy enough for conception, that is massive.

Work with your MD and nutrtionist to get you back on track to loose the weight you need to, and to stay healthy for your new family.

the snow has not flown yet so if yo u can bundle up your baby and go for a walk or do some aerobics or something when baby is napping. You can do it

Congratulations on your baby!

The band is only a waste if you choose not to use it.

If I were you, I'd go into your surgeon and see if you need a fill. Then, I would make an appointment with a nutritionist and let them help you set realistic food guidelines that will help you to eat healthy and lose weight.

The band is just tool, you have to make the choice to use it.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
