I had my sleeve done in 2016 and did great lost 112 lbs got down to 109 at my lowest. This past year I had a baby and was 178lb at delivery. I was at 164.4 for the past three weeks today got on the scale and it said 169.5!!! I only had him 3 1/2 weeks ago but right now I'm feeling so discouraged. Like I'm living my biggest nightmare. I'm so scared I'm going to keep gaining an end up right where I was back in 2016. I plan so start a liquid diet and then once cleared by my ob I want to start swimming laps several times a week and add walking or volleyball to that. This is just horrible I'm reaching out to anyone who might have advice or has been where I currently am. Sent from my Pixel 2 using BariatricPal mobile app

I had a sleeve in 2016 and lost all my extra weight At my lowest I was 109 and felt great. For the first time I was happy with my life. Then oops got pregnant. I had pcos and was on the pill but none of that mattered. Anyway so gained 54 lbs while pregnant. Delivered at 178 a week later was at 164.4 and stayed there until today. Today 4 weeks postpartum on Thursday the scale read 169.5... why is the scale going up. I should add I'm not breastfeeding. Being careful but ready to start a liquid diet at this point. Everyone keeps telling me that I need to give myself 6 weeks before jumping on the scale. But can weight fluctuate up and down after having a baby due to water? I have a hard time ever believe the gain is water. Probably because I used to be heavy and I'm scared. Please give me advice Sent from my Pixel 2 using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks everyone. I breastfed for a short while but decided it wasn't the route I wanted to take. So I recently stopped a few days ago. The stress from it was just too much baby was hungry and I just wasn't cutting it. I hadn't started any type of diet while bf cause I wanted to make him enough milk even then it wasn't enough. I'm very hard on myself. Getting on the scale this morning seeing I've only gained weight just has ruined my whole day. I'm trying to be understanding that this will take time. But I don't like seeing things go the other way . Very stressful. Sent from my Pixel 2 using BariatricPal mobile app

I had my sleeve done in 2016 and lost 112lbs. At almost exactly 2 years post op I found out I was pregnant (was a huge surprise). Recently I just delivered I gained 54lbs when pregnant. I have lost 10lbs, I'm breastfeeding and only 2 week out from delivery. It's my first and last baby I'll ever had. I don't know what is normal to expect after having a child. Like I lost 10lbs but recently gained 2lbs back. Is fluctuating normal a few weeks after having a baby.. also when is it safe for me to go back to a liquid diet? As I said I'm breastfeeding and don't want to effect that. Any diet plans from other sleevers that I can follow that have breastfed. Everyone keeps telling me now is not the time to try and diet that I should wait a month or two. However having an unexpected pregnancy and gaining weight I had just recently lost is taking a toll on me and I'm ready to get back to seeing my scale move downward again.
