Post pregnancy weight loss support



Recommended Posts

I have currently put on 15 kilos (about 33lbs) duringthis pregnancy. Alot of people keep telling me that if I breast feed it will all come off quickly. Except, with my last baby breast feeding wasn't that easy and its not always a guarantee of losing weight anyway:mellow:

So I am thinking this thread will be good for some support after baby to get back on track.

I am planning to get my band refilled pretty quick after I have my baby, I am planning on going up in small amounts though, i would hate to be overfilled and breastfeeding, that woudl be a nightmare.

Unfortunately breast feeding didn't work for me. My daughter is a month old and I am gaining weight now. I think that I am eating out of bordom. I will be getting my first fill since getting everything removed in September. I am nervous because I don't have any restrictions right now and I am not sure how I will do with a fill. It is almost like I forgot about my band. That is dangerous!! I gained 45 lbs. with this pregnancy however, I still needed to lose about 60 lbs. I am now 90 lbs. away from goal. I will get a little bit in my band too. I don't want to over do it now. Thanks for the great support post.

I am really scared that when i get a fill after my son is born that my band will somehow not work anymore:glare: I know it sounds illy, but I just feel really out of control. I have put on 18 kilos, (40 pounds)...

I only have a week to go, then i will get back on track (hopefully)

Good luck with your fill :thumbdown:

OK not only did I fear this too; it's happening :drool:

I am out of control, I got out of control during pregnancy.I had 2.5cc pre-pregnancy and had a very good restriction and was losing amazingly. I was unfilled to 1.5cc and had semi-restriction up until around 6 month and it magically disappeared (which scared me; still does). I gained about 70lbs during pregnancy. I lost about 30lb really quick, now I'm stuck.

Had a refill a month ago, they put the whole 1cc back-I feel nothing. I feel like when I was first banded- very slight restriction, if I ate a huge bite of a burger and don't chew I'll feel the band (I hate myself for knowing this).

So..... I'm scared.

I have another fill on Tuesday, and if this one doesn't phase me I don't know what I'll do. I don't diet well, thus the band.

Sorry it hasn't been hapening for you Laura :) Hopefully your next fill will give you some restriction. I am 4 days off my due date and feeling like such a beached whale :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
