About 3 mos I had officially dropped way below my pre-preg weight...due to a big eater and lots of nursing i'm sure. I've been weaning for the last month, and almost completely dried this week and have noticed I've gained maybe 4 or 5 lbs back. Did this happen to anyone else? I've eaten slightly less to account for the calories I'm not burning with not nursing, but otherwise maintained my physical activity.
Kind of depressing!
Re: Did you gain weight after stopping nursing?
This happened to me. I gained 5 lbs back less than a month after I stopped breast feeding.
When I stopped nursing I knew that I would have to adjust my eating habits because my body wouldn't be needing all the extra calories. I did that and still gained the weight. Totally sucked. Good luck.
