3yr post op with30xtra pounds from new baby
Me too. My daughter was born 2/2/04 and I still am not losing weight. I haven't had the energy to walk every day consistently. I keep going back to the Pouch rules for dummies. Small bites, chew throughly, drink my water, exercise, and no grazing (this one is really hard for me right now because I'm breastfeeding). But wasn't it wonderful to have a baby! Just hang in there. Follow the rules, let your body adjust to post pregnancy, and enjoy your new baby. Hugs, Rebecca
Hi there,
Sorry about the 30 extra pounds with the new baby, but you have so much more to be thankful for with you new joy and you're still down!! Try your best to stay focused on the little one while taking into consideration the rest of the weight that you've lost. Then, think back to basics... small portions, no grazing, lots of water and some exercise!
Belated congratulations on the birth of your new baby! As to the extra weight, I can relate to your situation, I re-gained some weight after having several plastic surgery procedures (to get rid of the excess skin). One of my recoveries was quite lengthy and gave me time to re-establish some of my old bad habits - naughty me! For me, its a matter of getting back on track - taking the time to prepare healthier meals or at least taking the time to THINK before I put something in my mouth - not just grabbing what is quick and easy (I do child care at home so I know caring for kid/s can leave little time for YOU). A new baby means you are short on time AND energy - making time for yourself will be a challenge but remember, being a good mom means taking care of yourself, not just the baby! Good luck!
