One Mth Post Pregnancy

Jun 08, 2010

6/8/10 - so yesterday was one month after I had my daughter, Saralynn.   All is great with her (she's eating, sleeping, pooping, crying, fidgeting, etc).   As for me - yup, I'm sleep deprived & a bit cranky at times...but doing ok.  Luckily, I have the entire summer off for maternity leave - which i appreciate so much!
As for my weight gain / loss - i went from 161 lbs to 193 lbs.  A week after delivery I lost 14 lbs and as of today I'm down to 171 lbs, so I need to loose around 10 lbs to get down to my starting weight.  I've tried on my size 12's...and they fit, but snugly.   I've gotten lazy while i'm home & wear a lot of sweatpants & loose t-shirts.  Hopefully by the end of the summer I'll have lost those extra 10 lbs + a few more.

The other thing that is going on with me post pregnancy is the hormone switch that happened to all of us post-WLS.  In the last few days I've noticed both hair loss & zits.  My OB reassured me it's temporary, but i can tell you I hated this stage after WLS and I'm hating it now!  I dont care so much about the hair loss (since I have so much...although it does clog up my drain), but the zits - YUCK!   Luckily, I still have the Neutrogena Stress Acne medicine in my bathroom.  Fingers crossed it works as nicely as it did last time.
