Weight after D&C

Hello!

I had a D&C 2 weeks ago for a missed miscarriage and having trouble with getting my weight back down.  I posted in another board so I am going to copy the message I wrote.  Any suggestions/help appreciated.  Thank you!

 Anyone having trouble with their weight post D&C?  I gained a few lbs during pregnancy and then started emotionally eating once I found out about the MMC and gained more weight.  Before all this happened, I was used to about an hour of exercise most days a week.  For the past month I have ran about 10 miles tops so exercise was way down as well.  Anyway, I noticed that my pants were barely fitting me so I started counting calories.  With no exercise, the Lose It app told me to eat 1400 a day to lose weight and so I did that for a week and I gained weight?  I will start exercising 4 days a week starting next week, but if I'm restricting calories why am I not losing?  I'd really like/need to lose about 10 lbs before we start trying again.  My weight for my height is just over what it should be.  Frustrated!

    This exact thing happened to me! I started my next pregnancy which resulted in DS about 8 lbs overweight. I chalked it up to hormones and that buffer of fat was what my body needed to sustain a pregnancypurely me making myself feel better.
    I started at 166 and was 198 the day I went into labor, so I held it in check pretty well. I walked around the building on my breaks at work and my cravings were crispix and milk.

    Good luck! You will be fine whether you lose the weight or not.

    I had that, too! My doctor said not to worry, that the weight gain was due to all the leftover hormones. Hate to tell you, but I'm now almost 3 months past DC, and I'm FINALLY down to my prepreg weight!! I worked out a ton, both weights and cardio, but the ol body just had to take its own sweet time to process!
