PP Weight Loss
Okay, I am completely amazed.
I just got back from my post pardum visit at my OB since it's been one week since my c-section and they had to take the staples out.
I'm 25 lbs less then the day I went in for my c-section!
And I only gained 3 lbs in the pregnancy so I'm 22 lbs less then when I got pregnant!
I'm in total shock and completely amazed. When I left the hospital on MOnday I had only lost 14 lbs...so I guess the breast feeding/pumping does help!

Re: PP Weight Loss
I was very heavy to begin with so the doctor told me to only shoot for like 15-25 lbs instead of the normal 25-35, and I seriously don't know HOW I didn'tgain more. I just think that sicne I was overweight to begin with my body didn't need to gain that much.

That's what they told me to gain as well because I was very overweight and I did pretty well then the 3rd tri hit. I think I gained 42 total. Not the end of the world but I definitely feel like a flabby blob now but its all worth it to have a happy and healthy little girl.

I really just think it's because I was so overweight to begin with. Trust me, I didn't diet or try not to lose weight at all. I indulged many many times!!! I did have GD so I had to keep my indulgences to a minimum, but I still indulged in what I knew was safe!

Re: PP Weight Loss
Congratulations!
It's terrific enough having a baby, but it's great when the baby actually takes weight from you. I had a similar thing with my 2nd - I gained 12 lbs total, but was 10 lbs less than my pre-pregancy weight afterwards.
The way it happens is that the baby is using more of the calories than you're taking in.
I do want to warn you about breastfeeding. It takes the weight off very quickly - when you stop, you need to watch what you eat. YOu can eat whatever you want, you're hungry a lot while breastfeeding - if you get used to it, you'll gain when you stop. I weigh more now than I did during my PP visit.

Since I was doing weight watchers before I got pregnant (I lost about 50 lbs before getting pregnant) i am planning on going back to ww in a few weeks once we get into a good routine and doing the breastfeeding program. i want to make sure i'm eating enough too, you know? because right now we've only been home since monday and i've lost 11 lbs since monday and i seriously don't think about eating most of the time, so i want to makes ure i'm getting the right amount of calories in. but i'll go back to ww and then when i stop breastfeeding i'll just do the regular program instead of the nursing program, so hopefully it'll continue. back in aug of '04 when i started ww i had about 170 lbs to lose to get to my goal weight so now i'm about 100 lbs away from that, so I still have a ways to go.
