Those 6 weeks PP...? about weight loss

chicky1231 · January 2011

I had a c-section on 12/21 and gained a total of 37lbs during my pregnancy...at first the weight flew off and I was down 20lbs at 2 1/2 weeks PP but not the weight seems to be staying the same Can I expect for more weight to drop off on it's on or does it normally drop off all at one shot and the rest you have to work on?

I'm getting so anxious about wanting to work out but with the c/s I have to wait atleast another 3 weeks and I know getting back into what I use to do will take a lot longer b/c I'm weaker after 8 weeks of bedrest before my c/s.

Just wondering if there is hope that more will fall off on it's own

TIA

i think you slowly lose a little more, and then at some point you have to start working onit. at least, that's how mine has been. i'm almost 8 weeks pp, and i'm about 5 pounds up.

I am 6weeks pp after a c/s as well. I gained 35, lost 20 right away (like you!), and I hate to say this, but I haven't lost any since then! I haven't gotten any physical activity other than caring for LO and light housework & to be honest, I was eating whatever I wanted during the holidays!

I am EBFing, which I find keeps me pretty hungry throughout the day, so my goal is to start focusing on eating better soon!

Im 6 week pp and i also had a c/s, i gained 63 lbs and with in 2 weeks pp i lost 50 of them, with about 14 lbs to go to my pre pg weight. and i've stayed at the same weight since then. i go to the docs this week for my pp check up and cant wait to be cleared to work out and wrk off these last pounds and tighten up my abs.

I gained 25 lbs and have lost almost all of it, but unfortunately, things aren't in the same places! So my jeans don't really fit right, even though I can get them on.

1ht I think you could still continue to lose. I gained 25lbs after I stopped losing weight in my 1st tri and I'm 3 weeks pp and I had a dr appt today and I've lost 29lbs. I am bfing, so maybe that has something to do with it?

Thanks....to those who had c-sections and plan on working out again real soon, I'd love to hear how it goes. I'm assuming my incision will be a little sore I'm just hoping it doesn't limit me too much

I still have about 10 lbs to at 6 wks PP. This was the same w/ DS- and I didnt lose those xtra lbs until he weaned- then it came off effortlessly.
