We took E to the pediatrician this am for a weight check and I stepped on the scale. ?According to that scale I am down 24lbs since birth. ?Is that possible? ?I felt a little smaller but 24 lbs?

    It's possible.  I've lost over 35 since having him.  You were probably retaining a lot of fluid.

    It's possible.  I was down 20lbs days after birth.

    After my c section I had to go back to the doctor around two wks pp and I was down 25 lbs! Unfortunately I still have a good 20 lbs to go, but I think it can definitely happen! :)

    I was down 20 at the same time...baby, everything that goes along with the baby, plus any water you are retaining is on it's way out - so I'd say yes, it's possible...

    I lost like 26 lbs within 2 weeks of having DS. I'm pretty sure a lot of that was water weight. I've only lost 6 lbs since then, and those took some hard work :)

    i guess it would depend on how much you gained, but you lose a lot of water weight in the beginning.  i would say i've lost around that.

    Sure - especially if the majority of weight you gained was water weight.  I lost the most significant portion of my weight a few weeks pp.  The rest has been been slowly, and I mean slowly, coming off ever since.  I gained 30 lbs. and had lost about 20 lbs. by week 2 or 3.

    I had gained 40 lbs and lost 30 of it within the first two weeks. I haven't lost any since then though.

    I dropped almost all my weight in 2 weeks so totally normal! The few pounds I'm stuck with are definitely fat...I think the rest was fluid, placenta, baby, blood volume etc.....

    Me too...it melted off the first two weeks.  It was a lot of water and baby weight.
