HOW DO YOU PLAN ON LOOSING WEIGHT AFTER BABY

I know I want to breastfeed and I hope to do a 5 day pouch test and then cut my carbs and cals... I can't wait to get back on track this spring after my boys are here... I'm getting married in August and I wanna see what I can do by then... Not that my fiance would care what I look like but I do...

GOOD LUCK MS CHRISSY....WE ARE PLANNING ON GETTING MARRIED IN MAY..I WONT HAVE MUCH TIME EITHER....BUT I WILL SURE TRY..

This will be my first post-op baby, but my 8th baby. I have not even reached my 1 year surgiversary yet either. So far I am 20 weeks and really haven't gained much of anything, really. I got down to my lowest of 196 while pregnant and have hovered between 198 and 202 for the past 2 months, like yesterday and today I was at 198.

Before my VSG I usually lost a lot during the 1st trimester and then maybe gained 5-10lbs through the rest of the pregnancy so that by the time I had my baby I was 20-30lbs lighter than my pre-pregnancy weight. I did however gain it all while breastfeeding, LOL

This time however I can't eat as much as I did before so I am hoping that BFing will not make me gain weight. I would LOVE to stay the weight I am now throughout the rest of my pregnancy, but I am not holding my breath too long on that one, LOL Although I am wondering when I will start gaining again.

My goal is to NOT go over 215 or 220 while pregnant. Again, so far so good.

Once Adelyn gets here I am going to go back to my protein routine with up my liquids as best as possible to keep the breastmilk flowing well. I know I lose weight fastest on a high protein diet so that is what I hope to be able to do after birth. I just would love to get to my goal weight of 150 before the end of the year. Only 50lbs away so fingers crossed!!!

WELL BLESS YOUR HEART AND GOOD LUCK TO YOU...!!

How did you make that neat colage of the kids pictures - that is adorable!

Oh I do those myself. I usually make them for my message boards, but here they only allow so much height/width and what not so I can't really add it to my sig.

I have a family web-site I run and I make my own blog layouts too.

Whats your website?

If you PM me I'll giv eyou the link. These pages can be shared on FB and things so I don't want to post it here. Thanks.
