Please help me...(after baby related)

Has anyone had a baby...lost all the weight...only to gain it all back again?


...I cant take it any more.

I keep going to doctor after doctor and essentially keep getting dismissed.

Does anyone know of any disorder, disease, condition, whatever you may call it that would cause excessive weight gain?

I already have Hashimoto's (hypothyroid). Since my diagnosis in December of 2008 I gained another 20lbs. So there is something else going on here...(From January 2008-December I gained 15lbs)

Hormone levels are normal....

Cortisol levels are normal....

Prolactin levels normal....

I tell the doctors Im dieting and exercising they dont believe me. I just keep gaining weight. No matter what I do....I weigh more now than I did the day I delivered Caden. (I lost all the baby weight)

Im in tears. Im trying to get ready for a party and nothing from last summer fits...When is it going to stop? Every time I go to the doctor I have gained more weight....I cant stand it anymore....

Any suggestions (aside from dieting advice) are appreciated...

Are there doctors who specialize in this type of thing? (My Endo is NO HELP)

TIA

I'm sure you've already thought of this, but are you on any kind of medication, some medications can cause weight gain.
Sorry I don't have any answers , just

I agree with Dawn. Either that or get mad with the one you have.

The only thing I can think of is thyroid and/or medications.

My mom was on prednisone (a steroid) for years and her weight went up and down. She was careful with what she ate too.
Im almost positive she also had a thyroid problem.
