I had gastric bypass (RNY) in 2002 after struggling with my weight my entire life. I lost fast and furious!!! I never reached my goal but I looked and felt so much better! My lowest weight was 250! I was a size 18 (some 14s) coming from a size 34 or so.
Since 2004, I have had two babies--large baby boys! My first son was 8lbs 9 oz.. With that pregnancy, I gained 63 lbs! I lost 45-50 of it two weeks after having him. I felt really good and was hoping to lose my excess weight. I did not.
In 2006, I became pregnant with my second son. He was born in July 2007 and was a whopping 9lbs 6 oz. I gained next to nothing but was bigger after I had him. I felt awful after delivery and didn't feel like myself until he was 3 months old.
He is almost 9 months old now and I'm fatter than ever! I joined a gym 7 weeks ago and I work out 5 days per week, one hour of cardio each day and two weight training sessions per week. Maybe I don't eat as good as I think-I'm open for suggestions.
I feel bad even coming here because I really haven't been a member of this community for years. I really need the support now, from the people who know what I am going through and what types of struggles WLS patients face each day.
Thanks!
