How much did you gain?

hey ladies,

How much weight have you or did you gain during your pregnancy? For those who have already delivered did it come off pretty fast?

    I was 199lbs when I found out I was pregnant and I was I think like 225 when I gave birth. After having my son I dropped down to 196lbs rather fast considering he just turned 5 months.

    i am so sorry for your loss, i know that there are no words that can comfort you right now, tears instantly came to my eyes reading this. you will be in my prayers

  • I gained about 35lbs. Dr wasn't worried and I didn't let it bother me. I gained weight for other reasons before, at least this time my reason was justified.

I was 199lbs when I found out I was pregnant and I was I think like 225 when I gave birth. After having my son I dropped down to 196lbs rather fast considering he just turned 5 months.

I started at 178, dropped to 175, then delivered at 200. Within a week or two, I was back down to 181. Started breastfeeding and gained it all back. I fluctuate 190-200 right now. Little one is 5months and restriction is gone it seems. Ready to wean him to get back on track.

I am very worried if I will get restriction back after I deliver. I am currently 32 weeks. I started at 150 and am up to 184. still have about 8 weeks to go, so I hope I don't gain too much more.

My restricition came back a bit but I am going to do a week on liquids to try a hard reset and see if that helps. I also no longer have an apitite like before I was pregnant.

I am 32 weeks and have currently gained 6lbs. I'm worried though bc this week my appetite seems to be increased x10! Hoping to only gain 10ish more lbs in the next 8 weeks.

My daughter will be 1yr old on the 19th. I was 150lbs when I got pregnant, gained 40lbs (190lbs) with the pregnancy. Lost 25lbs before my daughter turned 3 mos. Went up to 170lbs, after staying home with baby, gained 4 more lbs while on vacation.

I want to lose 7-10lbs, as I'm planning on getting pregnant again.

I was able to eat a whole bagel with cream cheese while pregnant, lol.

So far I've been doing well. I'm 23 weeks and up 5lbs. Better than I hoped! I can tell you my appetite has increased and that like cibaogirl29 I can eat a whole bagel with cream cheese (barely). I eat 5-6 small meals during the day and get about 8 hours of sleep most nights. How is everyone else doing?

I'm 29 weeks and I've gained 16lbs so far. Stayed at 184, currently 200. I also notice I have less restriction, but I couldn't handle the 10oz glucose drink for my glucose test, so I know my sleeve is still doing is job! Looking to see what happens after I deliver.

Yes, I almost got sick drinking the stuff for the glucose, it also tasted horrible, lol

I gained 30lbs... Most of it after 20 weeks

I was 135 at the beginning of my pregnancy and 186 when I delivered. I gained 51lbs which is so much. My baby is 2 weeks old and im currently at 158. Ive been obsessing over the scale and weighing myself everyday and get really depressed if the number doesn't move (which it hasnt since sunday). I know this is unhealthy behavior but im terrified of not being able to get it all back off. My appetite was horrible when i was pregnant, i ate everything and was hungry constantly. It's definitely went back to normal and im not craving all the sweets and junk like before. I just want the confidence and the feeling of approving of my body back.

It also doesn't help my hormone levels haven't quite went back to normal yet. Lol

I am having my baby in 10 days via c section. I started at 150, currently weighing in at 192. I was constantly hungry most of the pregnancy, but as of last week I notice I am not eating as much. Not sure if its the restriction coming back, or if its just that ive run out of room. Cannot wait to see my little girl and start feeling normal again!

Hi Ladies!

I am currently 33 weeks pregnant. I have gained 11 pounds (4.5 of which are baby). Im so glad to read that many of you felt restriction again after birth. I constantly hungry and Ive been so worried about it. I plan on breastfeeding, this is my first baby so I hope that helps with the weight loss.

My son is currently 8 weeks. I gained 68 lbs in total. Within 3 days of leaving the hospital, I had lost 32 lbs already. Now 8 weeks later, I've lost 48 lbs total without even working out and have 20 more to work on. I have noticed my restriction is not as good as previously but I feel it's returning. Before surgery, I could eat 4-5 slices of pizza, I'm from NY and Pizza was my life. After surgery I could only eat half a slice and that was with no craving at all, during late pregnancy, I could eat a slice and a half and now 8 weeks later, I could eat 1 whole slice but I've lost the taste for it again. Now the thought of certain foods make me sick in my mind again...perfect...lol!! I'm back to no pizza at all...I feel absolutely great and am fitting into my new life just fine after 1 year and 1 baby boy. Good luck all...
