Back On Track After Baby

[sophiesmommy 1]

I have just joined this site and I actually feel like a lap band veteran. I had my band in 2008 and am getting back on track starting now. I had a fill this past Wednesday and those once uncomfortable feelings actually feel comforting...if that makes any sense. The PBs, the Soup and mushy foods, the occasional craving of a cheeseburger makes me feel like I'm actually making progress again. After my banding I lost 100lbs. Then I had to go fall in love, get married and have a baby. Don't get me wrong...I love my husband and my girls, but wow...I'm not loving myself right now. I've let myself go for 14 months without supporting my original decision of getting the band in the first place. Now I'm getting back on track and was hoping that there were some other folks in the same position. Got the band, had a baby, gained weight back and are now getting back in the groove. Anyone?

Hey! My daughter is almost 3 weeks old and I can def understand where your at. I have a fill scheduled for next week and I am looking forward to getting back to my rules and restrictions. I was at 152# and I am currently at 197# so I have a good 40-50 pounds to lose I have been trying to find someone, anyone who had a baby after being banded and I'd love to stay in touch and be a support system for you of you dot mind and vice versa!

Absolutely! I'm excited to have someone to keep in touch with. Congratulations on your new baby. Is this your first? I have had only one adjustment since Sophie was born...and then I just got lazy and comfortable eating whatever I wanted. I'm hoping that I can drop the weight at about the same speed I did the first time. Crossing my fingers...

I am hoping I can lose it that quickly too. My biggest feat right now is that my pouch is stretched and I'll need to completely unfill and start over with my fills. Thank you and yes she is our first. I feel so down right now and I think if I start losing the weight and working out again that will help.
