Back On The Wagon

[kyleegirl01 33]

I had my band surgery in Sept 2009. The band was a huge success in my ulitmate goal to have a baby. LO was born on 9/20/11, I'm a mother. I made a tiny human. He's perfect, he's my everything and the spitting image of daddy. I have never been happier and am amazed at my capacity to love him more every day. Seiously, I'm still amazed that we finally have a baby. I'll hold him through is naps and just stare at him amazed that this tiny little perfect human came from DH and I. It's like magic, a little miracle just for us!!

I attribute my success in finally conceiving after 9 years of infertility to the weight loss I achieved with the help of my band. And now, LO is almost 9 months old and I'm shockingly still not back in the 100's. GRR! I remember how excited I was to see a 1 in front of my weight. I wanted to throw a parade! I wanted to frame and savor that moment FOREVER! I vowed to NEVER go back to the 200's again and when I hit 200 in the 7th month of pregnancy I had to remind myself that my baby needed nourishment, I couldn't go crazy with shakes and excercise. But here I am post-baby and stuck. I'm literally less than 1/2 a pound away from Onederland and have been fluctuating within 3 pounds for over 2 months.

I had this same struggle to get below 200 the first time, it took FOREVER for my body to let me get there. So... I'm back on the wagon. I'm back here after over 1 year (probably a lot longer than that) for support again. I CAN do this. I can get back to Onederland. I know I can! And I can reach my goal weight.... as long as no babies interfere again . Yes, we are trying again... 9 years of trying to get pregnant has us scared to wait.

So, I guess you could say I'm on the wagon as long as fetal invasion doesn't take place again .

Hello again fellow bandsters. How the hell is everyone doing?!?

Congrats on getting back into onederland. And way awesome on the baby front!! That was one of my main reasons for getting banded but I have had some setbacks along the way. Don't think a band baby is in my cards... but I am still working on onederland goal.
