You haven't gained that much. Baby weight gain is a pretty normal thing...many women gain more like 30, not 10 so it seems you have done well.

I guess like most of us you would need to take some sort of action to get back to the 145. I don't really know where you are post op, but in general, going back to basics like eating Protein first, not snacking, avoiding eating late, etc etc are the ways to knock off 10 pounds.

I currently weigh 155, still under my goal, but i too want to get back to 145. I am holding steady right now, but come January I plan to tackle it by modifying my eating and exercise.

Right there with you, I was 141 on my first Doctor visit when I found out i was pregnant. When I had my c-section i was 167 pounds. Two years later I am at 147 and struggling bad!! I know i will never fit in a size 2-4 again and i find myself wearing yoga pants, t-shirts and pet ins shoes everyday. I hat to dress up and really don't like buying and shopping for new clothes. I also had my tubes tied at the same time can this affect you from not losing weight? I mostly have skin in my belly muffin top area and I can pull my skin over my boobs. It is so frustrating and makes me ill and i really want it removed but that is not an option because of money issues. Considering i had surgery July 2010 and lost close to 200 pounds i shouldn't complain but it us so hard not to. Here are a few pictures of my journey. post-225076-14247549266324_thumb.jpg post-225076-14247549516086_thumb.jpg post-225076-14247549627405_thumb.jpg post-225076-14247549809624_thumb.jpg post-225076-14247549943657_thumb.jpg post-225076-1424755011959_thumb.jpg

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
