The most annoying thing my husband does...well there is leaving a billion cups of half full water on his night stand,throws clothes on floor next to hamper(I even placed it on his side of the bed!),pretends to be COMPLETELY knocked out when our daughter wakes up in the middle of the night,forgets to take the trash out almost every tue,but I would have to say the most annoying is he brings ME home sweets...uhm hello? I am busting my ass to lose weight! Weirdo.

I gained 37 pounds while pregnant and it dropped off VERY quickly. I didnt have any weird cravings other than ice,which helped a lot with getting all my water in daily. I just ate constantly! Which is a fun part about being preggy! lol. Alice keeps me going on eating better foods.I want to be a healthy mommy and raise her to eat and LIKE healthy foods.I just dont diet. If I want something sweet I eat it...just not the whole bag!

Hi there! I actually got pregnant a few weeks after being banded! oops,lol. I was banded June 30th-ish. It could have been the 29th.. Alice Rose was born April 16th of this year. I had only like 1.5 ccs in my band at the time I found out I was pregnant. Some days I would have random restriction I guess because she would push up against my stomache? I would rarely have port pain. I had a vaginal delivery and everything went perfect. I have a healthy 5 month old baby girl and as of today I have lost all of my baby weight plus 20lbs! And I dont really diet! Unfortunately I was unable to breastfeed (I was devastated) so I was able to start getting fills about 2 months after Alice was here! Good luck!

I was banded late June of 2011 and found out September 1st of 2011 that I was pregnant! So I FINALLY got a fill yesterday and am at 5cc in a 10cc band. Being a mommy to a 5 week old is definitely challenging with free time so im really hoping that I will have enough time to cook healthy meals and be able to exercise enough. I live in Texas so its already hot out and doesnt cool off enough til dark so going walking with the baby is not really an option until shes a little older. Im really excited to get back on track and was VERY happy to hear that I had only gained 10 lbs since my last appointment in August of last year! I am hoping that I have enough restiction but I am still on mushy foods until late tomorrow so I am still able to eat quite a bit I guess because these are sliders for the most part? Anyway I guess I am just rambling but I would love some suggestions on how busy moms are able to stay true to the lap band lifestyle!

I am in central Texas between Dallas and Austin. Unfortunately there is NO shade in my neighborhood. And the one park close to me that has a paved walking track doesnt have hardly any trees, :[

So I started my period the day after surgery but I wasn't due for another two weeks. Any ideas?

Just found out my surgery date!! Any other June Bandsters?

I had surgery June 29. I was supposed to start my period a week after surgery,instead I started the day after surgery,I haven't had one since. The thing is I feel like I'm about to start for the past week I've been cramping and just getting that feeling of doom. Yet nothing has happened. What the Hell? Any others go through something similar?

Thanks everyone! I really wish it would have happened after I lost all the weight but I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. We are very excited though!

Turns out I'm 8 weeks pregnant. Lol.

So weird! Just found out I'm pregnant, I was banded June 29th and my due date is April 28th. Haha! Good luck ladies!

2 eggs and I put 3 really thin slices of ham on each and sprinkle it with shredded cheese. 30 g of protein 315 cal. I only have 2 cc in a 10 cc band so I'm still able to eat quite a bit yall lol don't think Omg 2 eggs and ham?!?! Haha. Go in for my next fill on the 8th!

This hits so close to home. Actually I just found out I am 6 weeks pregnant on Sept 1st. But I had also posted somewhere in here about if being late was normal. Anyhow,my surgery date was june 29th '11 and my last period ( which came two weeks early) was June30th '11. I never got my period and was totally.freaked so I took four pregnancy tests and they were all neg. Went to the er last thur for severe stomache cramps which I thought was my lap band...nope you have a uti..and you're pregnant. Haha,me and my husband just shared our one year anniversary and didn't do anything but think about the best gift ever,our little baby. Anyway moral of the story,never hurts to go to the doc. I'm not saying your pregnant or anything but there might be a.other reason for it!

Soo since my surgery pork just doesn't sit well with me. Had Bacon yesterday for breakfast and it gave me a headache and a gross tummy. Had kabasi (sp?) For dinner tonight and I feel the same way. Anyone else have a similar reaction with certain foods?

Well I just found out I'm 6 weeks pregnant so it could be that or maybe my band doesn't like it! Lol who knows.

I had extreme nausea and some dry heaving,my surgeon took me off my pain med and antibiotic,I felt better as soon as that stuff got out of my system!

But I haven't lost hardly anything maybe 2 lb. I wanna be normal. Calling the nurse tomorrow.

I started two days after surgery and that was two weeks early. I have not had period since...I was banded June 30th...took three tests..all negative Haha. I can't say I'm upset but I am a little concerned.

Yeah I know! I lost about 12 pounds post op and then gained it back once I was back to regular foods. But now that I'm getting did I hope to.start losing!

I I was a total nervous wreck,but it went so well. My biggest fear was being put to sleep and as it turns out that ended up being my favorite part! I showered this morning and am ready to move around today. I basically slept yesterday away. My husband has been so great,he set an alarm to go off every four hours to give me my meds and make sure I got out of bed safely to go to the bathroom,etc. So far im sore today but im feeling great!! I cant wait to get this part over and move on to getting fills and losing weight!

Thanks everyone! Got my first fill today,a little behind on that but I live two hours away from my fill Dr so its tough to get a appt that fits my schedule. Anyhow. I almost passed out I was so scared. I felt like an idiot,it hurt yeah,but it was like getting a shot and then it was over Haha. It wasn't a bad pain just a weird pain.
