Recommended Posts

Hello everyone my name is Ashley I am 22 years old and was banded in april of 09 right after easter! The surgery went well, and i have lost about 65 lbs in a year. I found out i was pregnant with my 2nd baby July, and although I am as happy as can be, and my little one seems to be doing just fine the numbers on the scale get a little depressing. I mean i just worked my tush off for a year to loose those 65 lbs and now i get to watch them be added on. Everyone says i look great, and i do feel great when i was pregnant with my first son i felt horrible the whole time, and just really un healthy. this pregnancy has litterally been a breeze. i mean little morning sickess in the beginning, food aversions, kinda hormonal, but those have all leveled out now. I started my pregnancy at 214 then by week 12 i weighed 208. mind you i go in about every month. next appt i weighed 212 and my last apt i weighed 218. no weighing myself i weight 223 I am 21 weeks prego so just over 5 months and total if you count from were i started my pregnancy at 214 i have gained 9 lbs. I am trying my best to be healhty as possible, and eat right but i seem to have a much bigger appetite. I have not gotten unfilled at all but have not gotten filled anymore either obviously. I know i have to gain weight i just dont want to loose all this hard work. I guess im asking if im on track right now. if what im experiancing weigh gain wise is normal and healthy for someone with a lapband!!! any support and even crticism would be really helpful it is very important to me that both me and baby come out healthy from this prego!!! oh btw Baby girl due febuary 16th via c section

I have put on about 20 pounds. I would try not to worry too much about the gain. Most of it will come off right after the baby is born. And I always said that if I did it once, I can do it again. The baby weight is just a slight set back.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
