I had lap band surgery in Dec 2010, lost 102 lbs and then got pregnant. I gained back 80 lbs during the pregnancy and have lost 35 lbs since having my daughter in Aug 2012. I need some serious motivation again to lose the last 45 lbs. I can't eat a lot of the recipes because I've had 3 fills since my baby was born and my band is tight right now. Any help or guidance is appreciated!

    Congrats! It was the best decision of my life. I'm just struggling with a lot of stress from having a baby, no sleep, and kidney stones (had surgery in Oct). My body is still trying to regulate my hormones and literally shrinking back to my normal skeletal shape. I've been between 193-196 lbs for the last 3 months and want to tear my hair out!

    Wow!! You have a lot going on! I've stalled a couple of times already, but can't complain about my initial progress. I know it won't always be this way. Add me and we can encourage each other. Congrats on your baby, adorable!
