I gained 50 lbs during my pregnancy and had a c-section. The first 30 lbs melted right off the first couple of weeks but now at 4.5 weeks PP, I feel like my weight has stayed the same during the last couple of weeks. I am BFing and eating heatlhy meals but I don't have time to go to the gym. What happened with you?

I gained 50 lbs but didn't have a c-section.. but I was able to lose the weight. The first 30 melted off as well...then the last 20 took some time.. it eventually all came off though. I haven't had time (or desire) to work out. .. I'm almost 10 months PP.
You'll get there!!!

Hey there. I gained 35lbs with my pregnancy (had a 10lb 6oz baby boy) and had a c-section 2 weeks ago. I weighed myself today and to my astonishment I lost 36 lbs!! I have been pumping like a mad woman as well and have no idea if that has anything to do with it or not bc I am definetly NOT ready to go yet to the gym...lol

I had a section on July 24/07, and I gained 50 lbs. I lost almost 25 pounds just with delivery (had a LOT of fluid), and by August 3rd I had lost 38 lbs. As of today I've lost about 40 of the 50 (in 16 days), I'm BF and he eats a LOT. I'm anxious to see how much more I lose once I get the ok from the dr to start exercising (which you aren't supposed to do until at least 6 weeks). However, what I'm more concerned about than losing the weight is what my new body shape is going to be.

Hello, I had a c-sec on 5/4/07. I gained 60 lbs with my pregnancy. I lost 40lbs the first two weeks because I had so much fluid. The last 20 have been really hard to get off. I haven't really lost any of it. I try to exercise, but just don't seem to have the time. I am only BF and have been since she was born. I jsut started a walking program this week which I really like and am hoping to lose 40lbs by 1/1/08. I have accepted the fact that I will never look the same as I did before I got pg. My body is wrecked! But I have a beautiful little girl that I wouldn't trade for the world. Don't worry it will come off eventually, at least thats what I keep telling myself :)
