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

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
