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

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
