Anyone gain weight AFTER delivery and not able to lose?

I was 312 pre-op, lost 123 lbs. and started to creep back up before pre-preg weight of 211.  Felt great then!  Gained only 29 lbs. w/ twins.  After delivery, slowly started to creep up again.  My twins are now 3 and I am up to 278!!!!  I have seen surgeon, nutritionist and am starting to be serious about weight loss again.  Anyone else run into this?

I gain weight while nursing. I gained up to 240 before getting serious with exercise and counting calories. I have lost 51.5 pounds since February. You can do it. Quit eating junk, up your fiber, limit your calories to a number you can live with, and exercise. It really has been easy.

Hey Jennifer! What are some of the higher fiber foods you eat? I just started using the daily plate today and am FINALLY ready to quit jerking around and get the rest of this 'baby' weight off. It has only been 8 1/2... I can only call it 'baby weight' for so long. LOL

Great question Erika!  I noticed the scale isn't moving at all anymore so I'm starting with journaling food tomorrow (working my way into calorie counting).  We can do this and Jennifer is a great inspiration!

Hugs,

Sorry Erica I just found this in my inbox. I eat a lot of processed foods that are higher in fiber.

Fiber One yogurt 50 calories and 5 grams
Fiber for life bread has 35 calories and 3 grams
Fiber and omega bars (gas bars too you LOL) have 140 and 9 grams

Pistachios are also full of fiber.

When I count on daily plate I don't include fresh vegetables but I know they add at least 5 g a day. I currently get about 30 grams but I am going to try and up that a bit since I am still not happy with my bathroom experience.

I did not have this problem but wanted to say hello because I am from Norwich, CT as well. I went to St. Raphaels Dr. Barajas, Dr. Reinhold's office is right next door to hers. If you would like to chat PM me.
