Weight loss after pregnancy...

I am 3 years post op - (Jan 2012, RNY). I was losing weight at a decent rate for the first year. I went from 470 to 290. I decided to go on depo in Jan 2013. I gained about 15 lbs on that so my weight loss stopped. Because of that I decided not to stay on depo and went on the pill. Everything was going good til a back injury stopped any weight loss I was finally having again. From March 31st to August 1st I had 7 different rounds of steroids.

I thought ok now I can try to get back to losing weight when I found out in early October I was pregnant. I was told 3 weeks prior to getting pregnant (while on the pill) that I couldn't get pregnant. I was around 285 when I found out I was pregnant. My baby girl is due in late June. My main question is does anyone have any advice getting back into weight loss mode being over 3 years post op? I still want to get to my goal of about 175 lb, right now I am 310. I know it will be slow but I don't know what to do to lose weight but still get enough nutrition for my baby (I plan on breastfeeding as well). It is hard seeing my weight go up but I know its because I am 29 weeks pregnant but I am trying hard to not gain so much weight.

I know this is a late reply, but I am sort of in the same boat. I had my baby last November and breastfed until just a few weeks ago. I am now trying to get back into weight loss mode. I am just not sure where to get started. I am currently on day 3 of the 5 day pouch test and plan to go back to my post-op basics once I finish, but I am just not sure if it is too late for that or not. I did lose 6 lbs the first two days, though.

Ok, Babies are here... Get with the program!... go back to your origional one...count your proteins, keep good carbs low, Take your vitamins and minerals. stop all sweets for a few weeks to get on the right foot, even fruits... get in your water.. You ladies can both do this I have confidence i you. I am 20 years post op from Obesity center in Mem....my surgery is not done anymore, but i have your issues and I am here for you.

I started at 292 1/2, and am presently at 160... Life got in the way and I had gained to 190.I was under tremendous stress, and as it was released, I began loosing again.... so I am back on the way now, and I have lowered my goal! I want to go to 145... 5'4"..
