Unusual problem? Kinda long

[des477]

I am having trouble keeping my weight maintained. My DD is 8 months old and is pretty much breastfeed.(she sometimes has one bottle of formula if my DH runs out of EBM while I'm at work). I gained about 35 lbs while pregant and lost all of it in about two weeks. A normal weight for me runs about 105-110.
The problem is I keep losing. I take my vitamens and have recently started drinking ensure to help. I eat 6 smaller meals a day due to a low bloodsuger. If I am late or miss a meal I drink and extra ensure.

Now all this and I have only managed to gain 2lbs. I am up to an entire 98 lbs. I have no plans to stop BF though I'm sure this is the reason for the weight problem. My sister told me to stop trying to gain weight or that I will pack it on when DD weans. However if I stop trying to gain weight the I will stop losing again.

Has anyone had this problem and maybe know any solutions?

I used to make an avocado/milk/sugar drink when I didn't gain in my third pregancy and couldn't stomach most foods.

2 glasses of whole milk, one avocado, 1 TS of sugar (I use brown or otherwise unrefined sugar). You could use agave nectar which is a lot healthier. Put it all in the blender (with a few ice cubes).

I would go and see your PCP just to make sure that nothing else is the issue. To be on the safe side ;).
