Congratulations! He is gorgeous!

My 50lb reward was having my house cleaned. Totally worth it!

Checking in at 200.6! I'm so close! Banded 4/17/12, on my way to the real me!

I took progesterone pills when I was pregnant with my 2 year old. We're both happy and healthy. I'm not sure about the differences between the pill and the gel, but the pill saved my boy.

I am planning on trying for another baby in the spring or so. I have a 2 year old now, and it was a hard pregnancy at over 250lbs. I have spoken with my surgeon and my PCP and they both think the next one will be way easier on me! Banded 4/17/12, on my way to the real me!

Um, you look amazing! Congratulations, that smile says it all!

...it's been a long time since we've been friends. Welcome back!

It's a welcome sight and good feeling for sure! I'm glad I'm not the only one surprised by this!

Congratulations! I am down 50 so far and am thinking about going off birth control in the spring. I want to be at least under 175, but not to my goal of 145 when I start trying. I've been reading s lot about pregnancy and lap band, though, and it's mostly been very encouraging! Banded 4/17/12, on my way to the real me!

Wow, does that make you pause. For me, I was 13 and the town where my grandmother had a summer cottage was having a Centennial. There were events all summer, but for the 4th of July they were having a "Miss Canadohta Lake" pageant. Everyone was excited and my grandma specifically looked at my sister and cousin and asked them to enter. I was standing RIGHT THERE and she wouldn't even look me in the eye. I was devastated. However, as previous posters have said, that was the catalyst but it was ME who hid food. I was the one who ate my feeling for the next 16 years. And now, it's ME who is taking control of the situation and righting all those years of mistakes. Thank you for bringing this up. I had forgotten about that day, but it is important to remember because it is part of what made me who I am today. A confident (or getting there) woman, mother and wife.

Good for you! Congratulations!
