Confessions of a lap band failure...
I have lap band. I got the surgery when my first daughter was 5 months old, September 11, 2008. I had many adjustments and never felt the restriction I was hoping for/expecting. My last fill was finally very tight, but then I found out I was pregnant and, for some reason, it got swollen or something and I couldn't even get…

Starting over... again :/
I started MFP in late March of 2011 and had great success in my first few months. Then, I went on a vacation in May and struggled to get back in the swing of things.

One thing I have noticed in the past few days is that my (almost) four month old baby has gone from dream sleeper to nightmare sleeper and I don't know what happened. I don't think she's teething, my older daughter…

Dieting + breast feeding ... what considerations should I be
I just got started on this site, and I like it a lot, but I am breast feeding and I wanted to know how that should figure into my plan? A lot of places I've read say that you should take in 500 calories a day for the baby. Does this mean that I should add that 500 to the goal the site sets for me, or just leave it what it…
