So I have to say I thought it would take me longer to lose my baby weight. My
dr., Dr. Singh, made we worry about how much weight I was gaining when she first took over my care from Dr.
Lackman who went on maternity leave on July 1st, 2009. I went into her office having gained 8 lbs. in one month and she basically told me that if I kept up on that path I wouldn't be able to give birth to a baby. She did scare me but in the end I realize she was so right. I cut out all the fruit juice I was drinking (I thought fruit juice would be the best thing for the baby) not realizing that all of that sugar was causing my weight gain.
Since that
appt. I either gained or lost 1 lb. maintaining the same weight until I gave birth. This, I believe was the reason I lost a lot of my baby weight so quickly in the first two weeks. That, and the fact that I breast fed so much in the first few days it helped me burn a lot of calories and shrink the size of my uterus.
