Getting back on track after having my baby!!



Recommended Posts

I had my baby on march 2012 and my doctor didn't want me to get a fill until I had the baby and stopped breast fedding. Now 10 months after my son was born I got a fill. Now I can't get back on track!! It's hard. Has anyone gone through this? Need some help. I want to eat everything like I did before. I need some motivation!!

I'm right there with you..LMN son was born in May. It took forever to get a fill because my surgeon wanted to remove my band. I had to search for another surgeon. After locating another surgeon I finally have restriction after the fill that I got on January 15. I now have 70 pounds to lose and I'm super depressed about it. We just have to stay positive and we will do it.

I feel you. My son is 5 months and although I am about 20lbs below pre preg, I feel stuck in a rut. I am still nursing but the scale went up 2 lbs the last 2weeks. I cant seem to get back in the groove. We gotta do this!! Good luck!!!

I got pregnant with my 3rd child 4 months after getting banded. I had lost almost 60 pounds. I planned to breastfeed for 12 months, but when my son was 10 months old I was surprised to find out I was pregnant again. I didn't even have a menstral cycle. So, after giving birth to my 4th, and breastfeeding her for a year, I am back up to 213. My weight at surgery was 236. I would like to get to 140ish. My husband is amazing, he loves me and never has a bad thing to say. He is extremely fit. Plays hockey on 3 teams, avid surfer, and works out daily at home. I feel like a slob next to him. All me, never him. I just can't seem to get back on track. I don't eat a lot, but I don't eat right. I barely get any exercise. I know what's wrong, but not how to fix it. I can't stand looking at pictures of my beautiful family, all of my children are perfect, he's perfect, and then....there's me. Uuuugh

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
