I'm 2 yrs 4 months out. I stopped losing about 9-10 months out. Weighed 146lbs until I got pregnant this past February. I had an extremely stressful pregnancy and only gained 6lbs. After having my child I weighed 132lbs. In 3 weeks I went down to 128lbs. Then about 4 days later 126lbs. Now 2 days later I weigh 124lbs. I haven't been eating what I should be eating and I've been eating more than normal for me. Normal for me the past 2 months has been maybe eating 1 small thing a day if that because I'm currently going through a divorce with 3 kids and stressed out. I just didn't think I would keep losing especially the past few days when I've ate more than I have in weeks. I'm not complaining just find it odd I'm still losing.

It can be normal but the surgery, pregnancy, and age...not to mention your stress can wreak havoc on your body. Follow up with your midwife/ob or call your surgical office. Some blood work may be in order.1

Okay will do. Thank you! I'm 27 but like I said yes I've been pretty stressed out as my youngest child isnjust 10 weeks now.0

Are you breastfeeding? If yes, your calorie burn would be higher than "normal", causing weight loss if you dont eat enough to make up the difference. For the sake of your baby, you NEED to feed yourself enough.
If not, being pregnant you likely slowed down some from your normal activity. Add that to now having a little baby and other kids to care for and your burn has gone up a lot, so you are not eating enough to make up for it. You NEED to feed yourself enough .
FOOD=ENERGY. Losing weight is always our goal, but health is WAY more important. Stay stable for awhile and take care of yourself!0 -
I do breastfeed but hardly st all anymore because I work in a factory and went back to work and do not have time to pump. So I only breastfeed before work, after work, and at night.0
