What diet pills can you take while breastfeeding? Before I was pregnant i was taking SlimQuick i lost 60lbs in 3 months. but now i gained 70lbs now that ive delivered.
Suggest not trying to loss any weight while breast feeding a child even if it is a limited time. Your weight is only about 10lbs over for your height which you will lose after breast feeding and taking care of your son. Walking him in a stroller, daily, will help you lose the weight (after you wean him off your breast), instead of using fat burners that could be medically harmful to you.
I'm a diabetic, and I've been on metformin for years and have never heard of it being used for weight loss. I have not lost any weight while I was on it, unless I was doing something else, as I am now. In fact, metformin usually can make one gain weight.
If you're on metformin for DIABETES, no, it's not forever. But don't come off it without your doctor's guidance. If you lose weight, as I have, your dose can be lowered.
I'm a 27 year old female, I was on effexor for approximately 10 months. It did help a little for a while, but eventually stopped working. My dosage was 75mgs. My doctor would have had me increase my dosage, but I can see where this is going, so instead I decided to stop taking it. All my life I've been slender - I'm 5'6" and before Effexor my weight was 124-128 lbs (summer/winter). While on Effexor, my weight went to 138-140 lbs.
There is a clinic near Orlando in Winter Park called Transformations Weight Loss Clinic. The staff there is great. I took the shots for a little while but didn't notice any significant weight loss, so I stopped going. Maybe you'll have more luck. They also have an office in Metro West. They can be found online. Hope this helps!
MY friend just had her daughter she's two months she was breastfeeding but stopped said she wasn't producing enough milk I want to breast feed also work so I'm planning to pump I really don't want to formula feed my son how can I make sure I have that milk supply coming in besides I heard it had lots of benefits for me and my son like low risk of SIDS and my sons dads oldest son died from SIDS and also I know it will help me loss weight so I don't want to give up on breastfeeding I need to know
Hi,
yes, I am gaining while breastfeeding. I am afraid it is due to my not controlling my eating like I should.
However, if you are following reasonable diet and unexplained weight gain you need to see your doctor to get your thryoid checked. It is quite common to have thyroid problems after giving birth.
I also have hypothyroid, but I can't blame that for my weight gain, only my own self.
hope this helps.
If you eat more than you burn you won't lose weight but if you eat a healthy diet and utilize reasonable portion control then the calories burned by breastfeeding will help with weight loss.
Has anyone had any trouble with weight gain following a miscarriage and D&C? I have actually gained more weight since the D&C than I did while I was pregnant. I'm wondering if it's a hormonal issue. It has been about 3 weeks since the procedure and I haven't started a new cycle yet. Any advice?
i also am thinking of getting off welbutrin. i know that it is every other day to get off the med but how long to you go every other an also when do you start every 3rd day. how long does it actually take to eventually dose down to nothing.
I definitely wouldn't try to lose weight while pregnant. You can start being more aware of what your eating and try to do some exercises approved by your doctor. I wouldn't start a strenuous workout routine right now if you're not used to it but walking is always good. I'm happy to say I lost all my baby weight pretty easily after my daughter was born and am pregnant with my 2nd. This pregnancy I knew what to expect and have had a much slower and healthier weight gain.
been on a strict diet - thinking that I would start to lose weight or atleast my weight would stabilize. I continued to gain weight at a rate of 1.5 - 2kgs every few months. To make matters worse, I injured my back in Oct 07 - so it's been like a double whammy as far as trying to lose weight!
I too had a constant period (since about 2003) while I was hyper (undiagnosed & unaware).
I am thinking about doing the hcg thing. I couldnt take diet pills or anything while breastfeeding but now I am looking for help. I cant eat any less that I do and get out of bed and take care of the house, the baby and work out. I just dont have the energy as it is.
They also encourage resistance training to develop muscle mass although it will not provide any clinically significant weight loss. Weight training helps develop muscle mass which expends energy more efficiently. Lifting weights on a daily basis is not advantages unless you develop a routine that uses different muscle groups, such as bicep, triceps, shoulders one day, then abs, quads, etc on a different day.
I understand that it takes a long time to get this drug out of your system and the weight loss is very slow. I think that most of the 4 pound weight loss is because I fasted for a few days and took UltraClear which is a powdered "metabolic detoxification" product you mix with water. I used to only be able to get it through a doctor but now it is avaibale on the internet. It is a de-tox flush that I thought would help get Lexapro out of my system. I think it has helped.
dispite watching my diet and excercise I gained over 30kg during the pregnancy, and then a few more while breastfeeding (despite having NO time to eat much at all).I bought an expnsive "assisted diet program" nothing. I stopped breastfeding, and went to a weight loss clinic. the prescribed phentermine and took some blood tests, suspecting hypothyroid.
I took the medication,and it was like a fog had lifted. I felt "normal" for the first time in years.
