What are you guys doing, or have done to lose weight post partum? I lost quite a bit at first, then gained pretty much all of the pregnancy weight back (25 lbs) and I am not sure what to do now. I am feeling very discouraged.

girl, me too. its a kick in the pants when you lose it at first but then gain it back. isn't it? just remember, it took 9 months to put on, it takes 9 months to take it off. at least!! i recently did a pouch test which has gotten me back on track to eating low carb, high protein and stop with the slider foods. its helping. of course, little by little. i wanna start working out again but its hard to find the time when its just me and the baby all day. but i'm hoping once i start running again i'll get more results. until then just changing the way i eat is helping. even though its little by little. anything you do, eat better, drink more water, walk. every little bit helps. just steps in he right direction. just rmember its not gonna be like right after surgery. it never will be. we'll never lose that quick again. but we can still lose it. just be patient. we'll get there eventually girl! give yourself a break. 

 

all the friends i know that had kids, (non wls friends) took a year to get back to pre pregnancy. i'm not even talking about weight. i'm just talking about getting to the point where you no longer look pregnant. it happens to all of us. :)

I'm 5 weeks post-partum--gained 40, lost 20 in first 2 weeks but nothing since then!  Of course I feel like I eat continuously since I am nursing and I know I'm grabbing convenience foods not healthy food!

I gained only about 15 pounds for each of my pregnancies.  I lost about 30 or more within a month of delivering.  For me, breast feeding, protein, veggies, lots of water and moving more made it melt away.  I found that the less I ate, the less weight was dropping.  I think with the babies feeding, my body thought I was starving and was trying to hold onto the weight.  Good luck!
