How much did you gain during? Lose afterwards?

I want to thank everyone *****ad and responded via the message board and via my mail to my previous post!!  Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

Now, on  to another question! For those who are there & those who have been there and done this......etc...  :)

How much weight did you gain during pregnancy?  Lose with delivery? Lose total afterwards & amount lost?  Just trying to shake the 'weight gain' jitters!!

Let's see, I gained 43 pounds (I think) with the twins.  I had about 15 pounds left to lose to get to pre pregnancy weight.  

I got pregnant again when my twins were 7 months old, hence the reason I didn't lose all the weight with them.  

I was last weighed when I was 16 weeks and at that point I had gained a total of 1 pound.  I have my 20 week appointment next week and I have no doubt that the scale will have gone up.  I'm guessing that I have gained 5 or 10 pounds total.  

OMG!!  Twins and pregnant again?  Your a trooper mom!!  :)

You did wonderful w/the gain & lost part!! 

Congrats on the 2nd pregnancy......twins again? :)

Just one this time.

Your still a 'trooper mom!"     Im terrified w/1 on the way! If i knew there were 2, I dont know that I could handle it....then to think pregnant again!  Id be a T-total basket case!! :)

 

i have the VSG surgery and got pregnant 1 year post up and i gained about 34 lbs..i am 4 weeks postpartum and i have only lost about 13-15 lbs but i am NOT trying and am still eating junk..i am desperate to get it together but have been stress eating i confess..scared i wont ever get back under control.. just being honest, i know i could and should have lost much more...

  GOOD LUCK to you and congrats on the girl..i would be a crazy buying stuff for a girl..i have two boys and love buying for them so cant imagine a girly!

Hi there neighbor!  I'm about 30 minutes north of Knoxville.  I have the band.  With my first pregnancy I orginally lost around 10 pounds.  I gained that back plus almost 20 more.  The day I delievered Hannah I weighed 19.5 pounds more than my starting pregnancy weight.
By the time she was 1 week old I had lost all the weight (plus a few more pounds).  
I'm 13 weeks pregnant now.  So far I'm down almost 10 pounds again.  I'm hoping to keep the total weight gain under 25 pounds this time too.
Do you know if you are having a boy or a girl?

Hello Neighbor! & the same Dr. as well....how funny!!

Im hoping to keep my weight gain down as well.....as little as possible!  My fiance doesn't understand how emotional it is to gain weight even though I know I need to for a healthy baby, my mind wont let me think its "ok"! :)

I lost weight to begin w/and now am up about 13lbs @ 26wks so I guess thats a positive thing!

I am having a girl! And let me tell you,  Ive got the shopping maddness!!  My 1st and ONLY baby and i think Ive gone overboard w/buying!  lol

Congrats on your pregnancy......gender known yet?

I gained 50 lbs with my last pregnancy (4 months post op too!!!)  Had a 10.5 lb baby and lost 42 lbs within 2 weeks of having him.  So, I started 150.  Gained to 200.  Lost to 158.  I never got those last 8 lbs off and got pregnant this time with twins.  So far at 23 weeks I've gained 19 lbs with the twins.  Ugh.  I hope to keep it under 50 this time!!!

Good luck!

I only gained 2 lbs. I lost all of the weight I gained and have lost an additional 30 pounds since I had Matthew in March.
