Thank you :-) I didn't really go on a diet but was just stressed out and depressed because my baby was in Nicu' date=' ...stepped on the scale yesterday and was shocked. I weighed 265 pounds the day before I had my baby...in about a month I weigh 197. Less than I did when I got pregnant and I didn't even try to lose it!![/quote']

I get that, my first baby was in the NICU for 32 days. So stressful!

Breastfeed ladies! I had my baby 6 weeks ago and have no Fluid in my band and already lost 30 lbs.

My first daughter used to kick my port constantly! I swear she could see it

Congrats on your pregnancy!

I kept my old fat clothes too but found I could rewear yoga pants and thats about it. Your waist is so different while you're pregnant, obviously, non maternity clothes were very uncomfortable and unflattering to me. I also wore kept some sweaters too, those were not so bad.

under a week.

I am 31......

sometimes medications can affect the levels of the blood test for the liver. I am thinking cholesterol meds do....Not 100% on that.. Hope nothing to keep you from being banded... Good luck to you.

Im sorry, let me clarify, I was banded tuesday and since then 2 blood tests have come back abnormal.

so, got my blood test results back, dr left a voice mail, said my liver levels were off and to call back monday, anyone have any idea what this is from?

had my surgery yesterday and just got back from the hospital today, boy am I tired and sore.

Is anyone else having to give themselves Lovenox (blood thinner) injections? That stuff burns like liquid fire, not to mention that I have UGLY bruises all over my belly from giving the shots to myself. I look like my hubby just beat the fire out of me! LOL Oh well, I guess its better to be bruised for a few weeks than to have problems with blood clots. Also, is anyone having trouble drinking all they are supposed to? I feel like I can't get in all the Fluid that I'm supposed to. My band has no saline in it as of yet, no fills until 6 weeks post op...but I still can't drink all that I'm supposed to. Maybe its just me?!?!

I havent had surgery yet but I have to give myself Lovenox injections the week after too!

I am a teacher too and I am taking a week.

so, something happened to my ekg and now I have to get clearance from my pcp to have surgery on tuesday, if I dont get this clearance tomorrow (saturday) then my surgery is cancelled! cross your fingers for me please!

I'm cleared!!! Surgery is Tuesday!!!!!

congrats!!

I am sorry, hope you feel better soon!

I think you can take gas x. hope you feel better!

thanks!!!!

I keep hearing about it, what is it? Thanks!

congrats!!!!

I have only told 2 people outside of my husband and family.

I am in the same spot as you but I already cheated, I was too starving.

I hope the hunger subsides for you!

I am a teacher too and am having surgery on the 7th, I am taking the rest of the week off, you need time to heal, and I feel like I deserve that. You do too! There is no way I could teach after surgery.

I am starving too! I don't have surgery til the 7th. Keep up the good work!

welcome!!!

My doctor didn't require the Pre Op liquid diet. He basically required my to lose 10% of my weight before he would see me. so as long as I maintained I was good for surgery. Which was yesterday!

see, what is the reasoning behind that? I am starving here!

Good luck on your recovery!
