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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
