Post Partum Depression = weight gain, more depressed

[JaspersGirl 147]

Hello all, I haven't logged onto here in about 2years. Since my WLS, I lost close to 100lbs, I felt beautiful and healthy. One goal was to get pregnant, and I did. I did not gain 1lb with my pregnancy, After I had my baby, I fit into my clothes with ease. Then post partum depression hit me..... I was put on meds and I have gained 40lbs, I don't know what to do.. I self weened from the meds because even my maternity clothes fit me tight!!!! Nothing fits me and on to a size 16-18. I am not hungry all the time like I did with them, but was wondering, the pouch test thing, would that help me get my tummy back to the size, I am so confused, I feel like I did the WLS and failed. Any suggestions, should I start my post op diet phase? I have no idea where to begin. Someone help please

I'm in the same boat. I gained 34 lbs during pregnancy, lost it all during the first few weeks post partum. Depression kicked in and I am up 30 lbs. I too feel like a failure and that is why I have logged back on. I need support and ideas.

Their is a 7-10 day pouch reset that you can find on Pinterest. My friend was 2 years post op and she did this and now she is back in the weight loss groove. Down 15 pounds in a month. Good luck! Y'all are not failures. You didn't come this far to give up! You can do it!!!!
