Off topic a bit post pregnancy weight and wedding rings

I have officially lost 66 lbs since I gave birth. I am so super proud of myself, and absolutely love my body. But I am having an issue.

I gained 53 lbs with pregnancy so I am really down 13 lbs above that. My problem is my wedding and engagement band still won't fit after all this time. Could my hands be permenanty bigger? My son is almost 5 months and I was going to wait till 6 months to size. I thought thought since I lost more weight then I even put on they would fit. I miss wearing them so much. It's been a lonnnnggg time. Any thoughts?

    I am the same... They go on, but it's too tight and I am paranoid I won't be able to get them off!

    After I had my daughter I could not wear my wedding rings until almost 6 months pp. At that point I had lost the 17 pounds I gained during pregnancy and an additional 30 pounds.

    This time around I have been able to wear them when I put them on (I don't wear them every day. Usually only if we leave the house and even then I forget sometimes) since about a week after I gave birth. I am as of yet 10-12 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight.

    I have no idea on the ring situation, but just wanted to say congrats on the weight loss. I've lost 40lbs since giving birth.

    It took me a while to be able to wear my ring again even after losing the weight.  The issue was my knuckles were bigger.  It took a really long time, but eventually my knuckles shrunk and I was able to get my rings over them again.  I know that may sound weird, but my doctor said it was normal.  Anyway, if the issue is you can't get the rings past your knuckles maybe give it a little more time. Pregnancy does so many weird things to our bodies!

    Same here, I only have about 15 pounds left to lose, and my wedding rings are no where close to fitting! I bought an inexpensive gold band that I've been wearing, but I really miss my wedding rings. Sounds like it could be a bit longer based on what everyone is saying.

    I had to get my rings sized slightly larger, even with weighing less than my pre-pregnancy weight. I could barely get them over my knuckle without a struggle. I did not have to get them sized much thankfully. I missed wearing mine also!!!! My SIL also had to get her rings sized also.

    Are you still breastfeeding? I discovered that when I stopped, my feet and fingers shrunk back down again, and now, my hair is falling out all over the place. Damn hormones :)
