Here is some useful info about Tubal ligation reversal ..
Tubal ligation reversal is a procedure by which the separated segments of the fallopian tubes are reattached or realigned again. This procedure is also called tubal reanastomosis or recanalization. By reestablishing continuity of the fallopian tubes it makes fertilization and subsequent pregnancy possible. However, it is a lengthy procedure, needing special skills of the surgeon and is a costly affair, with no absolute guarantee of pregnancy.

Good advice on what a mother should eat when breastfeeding. By relying on eating healthier foods and starting an exercise routine, the baby might get the nutrients he or she needs and still burn off the weight gain.

2009-06-16T14:29:06.567-07:00

I've never had children, so don't quote me on this one, but I once heard from a friend who has three children that she lost almost all of her post-pregnancy weight thanks to breastfeeding. I don't know if that's the case with everyone...

Good luck, and be sure to let us know what you do, especially for those of us who will be having children sometime in the distant future!

Hi Larissa,
My weight came off easily once the weather got nice and I walked the baby everyday. Some days a mile, some more depending on my energy level. I ate fairly healthy and nursed which is a huge help. But walking everywhere helps!

Can't you just photoshop the weight off?

Find recipes for healthy meals that you'll actually like. If I try to eat too healthy and boring, I wind up needing to indulge later. So just stick to healthy but fun and you'll be happy :) Good luck!

2009-06-05T10:41:20.655-07:00

I know that being in a walking city like DC affords me this option more than others, but I walk EVERYWHERE. If it's less than 2 miles, I walk it. End of story. I walk a half hour to work and home every day, and it's made a HUGE difference for me.

2009-06-04T12:49:00.717-07:00

I'm not in the position to give out any advice, since I am currently carrying quite a bit of excess weight. But I wish you good luck! I think as long as you concentrate on whole, unprocessed foods you cannot go wrong :-)

2009-06-04T12:21:00.555-07:00

I agree with the slow dieting post pregnancy, it's so important for the baby esp.since you breastfeed :) I think highly nutritional foods are most important :)

2009-06-04T11:17:02.135-07:00

I have no doubt that you can do it through health eating and easing back into your exercise routine! Good luck to you!

2009-06-04T09:17:59.944-07:00

Just keep eating (healthy, of course). I agree with what Kimberly said about your body keeping some extra fat around...it just makes sence. I found myself more hungry while breastfeeding than while I was pregnant, and I ate every single time I was hungry (pending the baby allowing me a free minute to prepare some food). I have no doubt you will shed every last pound, it will just take some time for your body to allow it to happen.

Moderation, patience and exercise is all you need. You'll do great!

2009-06-04T08:41:47.691-07:00

Keep on eating healthy and don't over indulge. The key is moderation. As for exercise I was always told that you should let your body mend for at least a month. But how should I know I haven't been through a pregnancy. You know you body and girl looking at your pictures you look happy and great! Aaron is a cutie too!

As for exercise start of slow and eventually work your way up to where you was. Take it one step at a time!

2009-06-04T07:40:27.933-07:00

After Hailee I was lucky...she breastfed for a year and sucked it all right out of me. I had flat tummy within a couple months, ate all the time and had great boobs. Emilee breastfed for a year too, but I wasn't as lucky that time around. Almost 7 years post pregnancy, and I'm still waiting for the last 7 pounds to come off.

2009-06-04T07:12:24.728-07:00

I don't have experience in the pregnancy and post-pregnancy area but I would suggest that you introduce as much wholefood as you can in your diet as fruit and veg, nuts, beans, barley, rice and maybe limit the dairy (full of fat, or if 'low-fat' full of chemicals). You seem to be an amazing cook so I am sure cooking those won't be a problem... now I also realise that having a baby to look after takes up a lot of your time...

I would also advise you not to be too hard on yourself, like chasingparadise says you looked great whilst pregnant and I am sure you will get back to your pre-pregnancy size in your own time!

Veggie juice! I hated it so much at first-but I knew it would fill me up so that I was no longer hungry; plus, it offers so much nutrients that you won't feel like you're snacking on junk (because you're not). If afterwards, you still want a little something more-go ahead! You only drank 85 calories!

2009-06-04T05:53:24.644-07:00

First of all, the photos of you during your pregnancy and after the delivery - you looked great! You hardly looked as though you chucked all your healthy habits out the window! But I've never had a kid, so I can only imagine. Plus we know our bodies best, therefore we are our own worst enemy. Be sane, and don't be hard on yourself. Eat the right kinds of foods and take the baby for walks in the stroller once you and he are able to. He'll love the fresh air and you'll get good exercise. Plus I think you'd be surprised at how quickly it comes off. You already look fantastic!

2009-06-04T00:45:00.202-07:00

I find that breastfeeding is both your best friend and your worst enemy when it comes to weight loss.

It burns lots and lots of calories....which can only be good news, right? BUT it also means that your body does keep a nice little fat store just to be on the safe side incase you don't look after yourself and your body still needs fuel to produce milk.

Getting out in the fresh air and going for a long walk with George, was the best exercise I could get. AND both of us usually slept better because of it.

My downfall was always that breastfeeding made me super-hungry, and so I was having to consciously make sure there were healthy snacks available for me to grab.

You'll get there.. 15 pounds left to lose is great! I told myself 9months up, 9 months down - and that was my goal. It was actually more like 6 months before I was back to pre-pregnancy weight.

Good luck. You'll do great. x
