Post pregnancy weight loss support

Cherry_Blue · May 31, 2009

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
