Getting back on track after having my baby!!



Recommended Posts

I had my baby on march 2012 and my doctor didn't want me to get a fill until I had the baby and stopped breast fedding. Now 10 months after my son was born I got a fill. Now I can't get back on track!! It's hard. Has anyone gone through this? Need some help. I want to eat everything like I did before. I need some motivation!!

I'm right there with you..LMN son was born in May. It took forever to get a fill because my surgeon wanted to remove my band. I had to search for another surgeon. After locating another surgeon I finally have restriction after the fill that I got on January 15. I now have 70 pounds to lose and I'm super depressed about it. We just have to stay positive and we will do it.

I feel you. My son is 5 months and although I am about 20lbs below pre preg, I feel stuck in a rut. I am still nursing but the scale went up 2 lbs the last 2weeks. I cant seem to get back in the groove. We gotta do this!! Good luck!!!

I got pregnant with my 3rd child 4 months after getting banded. I had lost almost 60 pounds. I planned to breastfeed for 12 months, but when my son was 10 months old I was surprised to find out I was pregnant again. I didn't even have a menstral cycle. So, after giving birth to my 4th, and breastfeeding her for a year, I am back up to 213. My weight at surgery was 236. I would like to get to 140ish. My husband is amazing, he loves me and never has a bad thing to say. He is extremely fit. Plays hockey on 3 teams, avid surfer, and works out daily at home. I feel like a slob next to him. All me, never him. I just can't seem to get back on track. I don't eat a lot, but I don't eat right. I barely get any exercise. I know what's wrong, but not how to fix it. I can't stand looking at pictures of my beautiful family, all of my children are perfect, he's perfect, and then....there's me. Uuuugh

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
