Did it seem to make you gain weight??

I've been on it for about 3 weeks now and seem to have put on half a stone I really need to lose about 3 so this is not good!
I know it's Christmas and all but I don't think I've been overdoing it particularly but perhaps I'm kidding myself!
So much for breastfeeding being a magic weight loss ticket

I ate round the clock - seriously not exaggerating, I had about 8 meals a day - because of the stomach emptying action (also because the only time DS ever gained faster than the centile lines was Xmas week and I kept trying to recreate it).

Hmm perhaps I'm eating more than I think then.
Mrsg did you gain weight?
I suppose I thought if anything the speedier food transit would help lose weight, not gain. Gutted!

No pun intended with 'gutted'!!

At least dd seems to be gaining too though

I did gain a little bit of weight, not as much as you'd think from what I was eating! But didn't do the domperidone for very long. I did lots of walks with DS in the sling and eventually that combined with breastfeeding did help take some weight off.

I think I lost weight on it as I finally had milk to pass calories on in. Not what you want to hear though sorry...

I gained weight on it too. My diet stayed the same and I was out walking with the pram so should have lost weight but it went up, only by about 7lbs or so but enough to count!

YES! I have been on it for over 4 months and I stopped losing, and lately I have started to gain, even though I am EBF my DS. Gutted.

Not losing pregnancy weight at all and should be! I'm doing more walking (was bed bound pre birth) and eating a bit less. I am now blaming the Dom Perignon. I mean domperidone.

Didn't really make a difference with me.

higgledy, you've probably got some muscle tone to build up (which is of course heavier) before you're likely to lose weight, if you were on bedrest before.

Now, I could really do with some Dom Perignon...

Oh pants. Sounds like I might have to stop eating everything I see.

Thanks ladies!

I did gain weight when ds was 2-6 months, and I took the domp when he was 2-19 weeks. But, I just put the weight gain down to being starving constantly and not being very active, as I was stuck at home pumping or sat down feeding a lot. And I ate cake to cheer me up .

With dd, Ie found doing a bit of exercise (walking ith her in sling) and trying to avoid white carbs and sugars has made me less hungry and I lost weight more easily.
