I had my lap band placed in May 2009. My weight the morning of surgery was 298. My lowest weight was 137. In May 2012 I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and I currently sit at 160 pounds for the past 2 years. Def not 137 but I am happy with it and do not look sick :) I wear a size 9/10 pant and large top and I am so…

Sounds great!!

Planning ahead is key as the others stated. I also stick to very strict protein first.

Even with weight loss surgery you still have to eat healthy and exercise because it's only a tool.

I am 3 years 3 months out from lap band. I had been at my goal weight until I got pregnant in Sept 2011 and gave birth to my beautiful daughter May 2012. I am now 36 pounds heavier than my goal weight and trying to get back on track. I have had 2 fills since Izzy was born and I am still not having much restriction.

I had lap band surgery May 2009. I lost 150 pounds, I just had a baby 3 weeks ago so I am now on a goal to lose the 35 pounds I gained by Aug 4.

I always ate before hand and then would make a small plate of acceptable foods for my band and pretty much just push food around. Yes it's a waste of food but it was easier for me to do that than just keep declining anything to eat or drink. Good luck

I had my band done in May 2009. I lost 150# but had a baby 3 weeks ago and need to lose 35. I am looking for anyone who wants to be buddies to be accountable to.

I like using the whey protein for my breakfast in the mornings. I use skim milk but I think I might try it with that vanilla almond milk. Let me know how you end up liking it. Also I can only use one scoop not two without having to choke it down. Good luck and congrats on your 10# loss!!

I have been on and off this site for awhile but I am now and back on target since I have gained 30 pounds since December 2010. You are more than welcome to add me and we can help keep each other accountable!! Welcome and good luck with reaching your goals!!
