Weight loss after pregnancy

My name is Diana and I had the bariatric surgery about 4 years ago. I just had a baby 2 months ago and I'm wondering if someone can share their weight loss story after pregnancy! I gained 40 pounds while pregnant and I am just disgusted by the way I look. I lost 180 within a year after surgery. My hips really spread after pregnancy so I'm not happy at all! I don't have any clothes that fit me because I was thinner prior to pregnancy. Is anyone currently in the same boat.

I haven't been pregnant since surgery, but we are currently trying to get pregnant. I just wanted to reply that your situation sounds pretty normal for any post pregnancy, surgery or not. I hope you are successful in losing your pregnancy weight. I know that breast feeding helped a lot for me with my first daughter, I dropped about 30 lbs in a couple months (even though I gained it back after stopping).

Is this your first pregnancy? Because that sounds very normal, as the previous poster said. It took 9 months for your body to stretch out, and it's going to take some time to go back... but it will never, ever feel like it used to. My hips were definitely wider, and my tummy softer after my son, and that never changed.

You could wait and see how your body changes in a few months, or just go ahead and buy some new clothes for your post-baby body :) It's totally normal.
