Gaining weight after baby.

[Pinklilli 3]

Hey everyone, well my lap band baby is 8 months and I gained about 35 lbs during pregnancy. I had a lil trouble after the baby with tightness but it got better after going on liquids for a couple of days. Now I feel like I've totally lost control and have gained an additional 15 lbs since giving birth. This is my third so fitting in workouts are basically impossible and squeezing them in at night is sometimes discouraging since I'm so off track. I can eat large portions and when I eat small portions I am hungry an hour later, if I eat the wrong things like bread I still pb. I am still nursing so I don't know if I should get a fill. Any advice on getting back on track, I feel like a total failure!

Don't feel like a failure! The rule of thumb is it takes 9 months to put the weight on, it takes at least 9 months+ to take it off. I don't think there is anything wrong with getting a slight fill while you are still breastfeeding, as long as you are still able to maintain a good diet and supply for your little one Are you drinking enough Water? Breastfeeding takes a lot out of you and will make you feel hungrier when in fact you really could just need to hydrate yourself more. Good luck!
