Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 I am sure this question has been discussed many times, but I am new to the group and was wondering how long it takes to get this baby weight off. I gained a total of 25 pounds during pregnancy and I still have about 10 more to lose. My tops fit fine but I can't wear any of my jeans or shorts. I am 4 weeks post op. Am I being impatient or what? I have noticed my appetite decreased automatically after delivery, by more than 1/2 of what I ate during pregnancy. Just wondering how long I should expect my weight to get back to where I was? Thanks for any input. Vickey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Vickey, I am almost 4 weeks post partum...BTW I see you put 4 weeks " post op " , I just have to chuckle since it seems that after surgery we continue in that mind set. Anyway, I gained something like 17 but lost 2 or 3 pounds at the end, so a grand total of like 15 pounds. According to my scale I have 2 pounds left to lose. I think I am encountering the same things you are in a sense. I weigh less than I did last summer, but my pants feel a teeny bit snug. Like my lower abdominal area seems so bloated still. I don't know if my uterus possibly has not shrunken all the way or if this is normal or what. I can't fit in to my jeans that I wore up until I was 5 months pregnant either!! I don't get it. I have a postpartum visit on Friday, so you know I will asking my doctor. As far as your weight loss is going, I would think you are doing spectacular. Don't beat yourself up over it. It took you months to gain, we shouldn't expect to lose it all in a couple of weeks. But, I do know how you feel, trust me. I wan't to be back there too. It was weird not having the belly anymore too. I had just gotten comfortable with having it!! Good Luck!
