Post pregnancy and have stacked the weight back on 😭

First time poster, long time lurker

A bit about myself, I was sleeved in 2014 at 136kg and manged to get down to 96kg before finally falling pregnant [yay!]. Now I am 1 year postpartum and my weight is rapidly spiraling out of control again The head hunger and being home all day with bubs is my biggest problem, I graze ALL day on sugary quick grab foods.
Having a little one I find myself tired and am seriously lacking motivation with jumping on the weight loss band wagon as my son is my first priority.
I've always had a larger sleeve than most and was able to eat half a sandwich, now after being pregnant I can eat a whole sandwich no worries. Being pregnant was my downfall when it came to the weight gain as I was hypoglycemic and had to eat every hour, plus bubs was draining me of everything which is why I was constantly hungry and I simply cannot break that habit now.

I don't believe I have stretched my stomach but I like to hear from other sleevers that have a similar story to myself and that can reassure me that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

You may have you to go back to the basics. Congrats on your bundle of joy. Makes me nervous for when I get preggers.

Apologies for the double posts.

Thanks for the reply and the congratulations. I hadn't finished my weightloss journey when I fell pregnant but we were so desperate for a baby that I was willing to do anything so waiting was not an option.
I have no support around me and honestly the thought of going on a liquid only diet for 2 weeks to potentially shrink my sleeve makes me want to cry! I love my food but hate being fat *sigh*

Maybe try to substitute a Protein Shake for one of your meals and just watch your carbs. Congrats on the baby!

Do you still have the sugar issues?

I read something yesterday that really stood out to me... If you can't eat it responsibly, then don't have it in your home. I think this is great advice.

You should have a veggie tray and some already cooked chicken breast in the fridge for quick Snacks.

My MIL cooked a whole turkey and brought it over when I had my first, I thought it was the weirdest thing 😕 But all I ate for the first three days home was that 🦃. I was glad to have it handy.
