Baby 3mths, not losing weight



Recommended Posts

Hi June 1st I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy and with that I gained 75lbs. After birth I lost 10lbs of baby so I'm not counting that and only 10lbs of me. My Dr, said he filled me back to where I was before but I can eat a lot more than I should be. Any one else having trouble losing weight after pregnancy????

well i wasnt banded when i gave birth last year, but I can tell you if took my body 6 months to get back to normal. My hormones were crazy. I also had pregnancy hypertension which didnt help. Are you breast feeding? I know pumpin/feedin helps burn calories very fast. Your womb is still shrinking so give it a little bit.

I lost 26lbs within the first 3 weeks and I am still gaining and losing the same 3lbs. Im really discouraged :( I havent had anything done to my band since my slight unfill when I was 11 weeks, and half the time now my band still feels tight so I am not able to eat as much as I should be since Im breastfeeding. I really wish I could get more of this weight off faster.

I had a baby while banded 2 years ago and I've struggled ever since :( I have gained 45 lbs since having her and tried being filled twice but both times I had severe reflux and had to have it taken out. I believe that the labor of having her naturally shifted my band and I'm going in again next month to talk to my Dr about it...

I had a healthy baby boy 7/4/11 and gained roughly 50 lbs but already had 30 lbs I wanted to lose when I got pregnant. My little one is 3 months 2 weeks I'm filled to 6 cc breastfeeding and ravenous. Plus I've only lost 30 lbs right away and nothing more. I need to hit the gym and get another fill but you would think the weight would start to budge. It's so hard.
