Whyyy?!

Question

Whyyy do I think I looked better at 3 weeks PP than now?! Ugh. I'm only like 8 lbs from where I was pre-pregnancy, but this pooch! 😣 I swear it's gotten worse. Blah.

Answer

It's like I wrote your post.

I felt great right after baby. My c section pooch was there but it looked better in clothes. I was down to 1 lb left to lose to get to pre-preg weight.

8 weeks later here I am and I feel terrible. I just changed clothes 3 times because I hated how my stomach looked in all of them. People tell me I look great but I feel like I look 5 months pregnant, and I'm not looking forward to going back to my middle school job where the kids are brutally honest. They don't understand that it doesn't just go right back. Ugh.

Answer

I think in the beginning it's such a stark difference and you just feel better (not so heavy). But if you are hanging out around the same from that point it's frustrating.  I feel the same.  But I feel like it's bloat from the mini pill now 😩and I'm EBF so I am not dieting for at least a year.  I'm just trying to enjoy being a little curvier.....I will worry about it later.

I feel ya! I actually lost a lot of weight pp, from about 2 weeks to 6 weeks pp I was skinnier than before I was pregnant. But breastfeeding makes me so hangry and if I don't eat enough I don't produce enough milk.

Answer

I lost 35lbs within the first two weeks. Come to find out it was because my gallbladder was failing. I had the surgery 3 weeks postpartum and have gained all the weight I lost back. I want to scream!! But I'm so damn hungry all the time from breastfeeding my little!!

Answer

Girl i feel you! But i would give anything to have the pooch back...mine all went to my neck!! I am 5 ft tall and was 99lbs when i got pregnant. I delivered at 137.  After switching to formula (son wasnt gaining weight on bm) i started with a health tracker app. I am down to 118 and my body went back to normal just about but all the  weight moved to my neck and now i have a double chin!!! 118 and a huge double chin!!! I would post a picture but its to ridiculous and embarrassing!!! 😥😂
