:eek: Hello new mommies! :eek:

Yays! we did it! Ok well I didnt do it yet, but some of you have.... Candice and Bexley anyday now! :thumbdown: So here was an idea for a new thread- I hope it will "kick off" like the last one. :smile:

We need to stay in contact somehow- and yet we arent pregnant.... :w00t:

So here it is... I would like to see our journey for atleast the first year of our new lap band babies life. This will be more then just baby talk too, it will also be an inspiring motive to get back on track with our lap band and diet. :w00t::lol::crying:... heheh yeah the dreaded diet.

Staying together and keeping each other encouraged will be fun! I know we can do this! I would like to see inspiration to others- that yis, we can gain it fast but loose it faster! We can talk about how we get no sleep, how we have no more time to shower and eat, :lol: and how to breastfeed with a fill. hehe. Shoot talk about what color poo your baby just made, I dont care... just chat about anything. Hopefully it will just cheer you up and let you know you arent alone. Maybe it will beat your post-partum depression without the drugs, and booze. :blush:

So just list who you are and when you had your bundle of joy, introduce the baby, post pics... go crazy! I will see you all very soon in here, so go ahead and start without me- I will check in daily to read! *hugs and many gratz*:frown:

Hey girlys!

Congrats on your little ones or your soon to be little ones.

Im in my 6mth nutrition counseling before I get the band. How soon after you had the band did you get preggers? Did your port stick out alot or hurt while being preggers?

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
