Who else is shedding baby weight?



Recommended Posts

Is anyone else here postpartum trying to shed those pesky pregnancy pounds? I'd love to get an accountability thread started so we can cheer each other on as we work our way back to goal while dealing with new babies!

Getting to the gym is SO not an option for me with two five year olds that don't start school until the fall and a five week old that's just too young to be in gym daycare.

I gained 32 pounds and have 9 pounds left to my pre-pregnancy weight. I'd like to lose those 9 and perhaps an extra 6 or so, but we'll see how that goes.

I'd like to invite other new mommies (and even not-so-new mommies!) out of the woodwork to post how they're doing now that pregnancy is over. The biggest question we get here is about losing weight post op, and I'm sure that participating can help not only us, but other sleevers considering a child post sleeve.

How are you eating?

How are you getting enough rest?

How easily is the weight coming off?

Is exercise an option for you? What are you doing to help shed pounds?

Let's get some conversation going here!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
