Kim Kardashian isn’t even one full week postpartum and already the tabloids and professional gossips are spinning various theories as to how she’ll lose the baby weight. Some of it is Kim’s fault – I remember the craziness around her first pregnancy and first post-pregnancy weight loss, and she definitely helped those stories along, especially when she posed for Us Weekly covers to show off her “post-baby body.” So what are people saying? Star Mag says she’s so depressed about her 50-plus-pound weight gain that she considered scheduling a slew of surgeries the very day she gives birth! Sources tell Star that if Kim had undergone a C-section, she wanted a tummy tuck done at the same time. Sources also claim: “She’s booked liposuction and intense laser work to get rid of her stretch marks… Her surgery plans are the only thing keeping Kim going right now.” The NYDN’s Confidenti@l also had some details about Kim’s weight loss plan:
Kim Kardashian has left Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where she gave birth to baby boy Saint West — but don’t expect to see her ample assets again for a long time, a source tells Confidenti@l.
“She will not be showing herself until she’s in tip top shape,” a source tells us. “She went to (mom) Kris (Jenner’s house). She’s there with Kanye and North. And why would she leave? She has everything she needs there, so she won’t be showing her face.”
Our insider adds that Kim’s diet and exercise plan will be even more “intense” this time around, confirming that her new nursery, bedroom and closets — temporarily transformed from bedrooms for Kim and hubby Kanye West — have been set up for months already and that Kris made sure her daughter arrived home to her own, separate full staff.
“Kim is so hands-on, but also has nurses and baby nurses around the clock. They were waiting for her at the house even when she was in the hospital,” adds our source, who says that in six weeks, Kim will begin a rigorous workout routine and diet. Our source dishes that Kardashian has a personal chef at the house just for her. She will also have a trainer come daily once she can do strenuous exercise.
So which is it? Will she go on a strict diet and focus on sweating off the pounds through crazy workouts? Or will she go for a more surgical route? My theory: a little from column A, a little from column B. Kim probably does have a surgeon on-call, and she’ll definitely get every little blemish/stretch mark/whatever lasered off. She’ll probably also diet and work out. Now I’m kind of depressed to realize that we won’t be seeing much of Kim for several months though.
Oh, and here’s something hilarious: Confidenti@l says that Kourtney “laughed” at Kim and Kanye’s baby-name choice and “Kim got an attitude.” Kourtney allegedly told Kim: “Look at what I named my kids: You don’t want them to get made fun of.” Um… says the woman who named her son Reign Disick? No. How in the world is Reign Disick a less weird name than Saint West?

Oh brother! Work out, but for God’s sake don’t diet while you are breastfeeding. By the end of two years I was fighting to keep the weight on. My humble opinion of course.
Is that translation for this time around, more surgery would be required?
Beat me to it!
Yep. Intense liposuction.
Her waiting 6 weeks smacks of her having had a c-section. I was playing softball 1 1/2 weeks after I delivered my last baby. Doctor said it was okay as long as I didn’t do any sliding into bases (like I was going to do that). But most women return to light workouts immediately unless there is something wrong. Also, I really don’t want to hear from her how “breastfeeding really took the weight off”. Didn’t she state recently that she would be taking her time in losing the weight and getting back into shape?
I always feel angry whenever I hear people talking about “oh breastfeeding will just melt the weight right off”. Maybe for some people. For me it did NADA. It was not a magical melting like I was promised! I still worked really, really hard for months and months to get my shape back.
Didn’t work for me either. And I agree it might work for some, but I think those people it works for probably do more than just breastfeed. They probably really watch what they eat and work out in some manner.
It’s cobblers
It burns 500 max and the progesterone makes you gain.
It worked for me, not everyone who says that is lying
@swack. I was thinking the same thing about the six weeks reference.
My bet is that she’s already had the surgery. She probably couldn’t stand the look and feel of the extra skin and fat another minute. So recovery time might be from that, although she also might have had a C-section. The same also was probably true with Nori, so she’s got surgeons ready and willing to do it that way. Kim is fully focused on Kim at the moment, as usual. Doubt she intends to do intense workouts, though.
She is disgusted by her pregnancy weight gain, yet that big load of “extra fat” she had injected in her a$$ doesn’t bother her?
@ me
Well, it is in the right place for her … ;-D
Or perhaps it isn’t fat but silicone?
Most women don’t mind a little bit of fat in the right place.
It occurred to me that maybe she’s already gotten the surgery and is “hiding out” so that no one sees her being back to her weight before having North. Not sure if that’s a possibility after having a baby. Especially, with her having such a so-called “high risk pregnancy.”
I think her waiting 6 weeks smacks of waiting until the tummy tuck heals.
Kim is being accused of all sorts of things and she’s only been home with her baby for less than a week. Good grief. Cut the lady some slack.
Really, you know she’s been the ONLY one home for a week with her baby? Do you live with her? I do believe she lives at her mother’s house therefore is NOT alone by herself. The article states she has nannies and nurses and a “seperate full staff”. Plus I believe Kanye has been at home also.
I am suprised she didn’t have the birth videotaped for the show. Usually they show everything, don’t they?
I had a normal vaginal delivery and was advised by my doctor to wait six weeks to work out. I think that’s standard.
Same!
They lost me at “Kim is so hands-on….”. This must be Demon “Source” Mother’s work. Just another fairy tale.
Ikr?!
What I want to know is why they need nurses around? I get the nannies, but unless there is something wrong with the child, nurses are not needed. My grandtwins came home on monitors (at a little over 4 pounds each) and didn’t have nurses on hand.
Maternity nurses?
These aren’t like regular nurses. These are nurses who specialise in looking after newborns. They help mother and baby adjust to each other. Nothing to do with state of health of the newborn. They tend to be hired for the first few weeks of the baby’s life. Depending on family’s wealth, they can live in or visit according to need. You tend to find that richer families have them live in rather than visit.
That said, a maternity nurse is not the same thing as a nanny although their job description may sometimes cross polinate.
@LAK – thanks, being one of the peons, I knew nothing about maternity nurses. Still to me unnecessary for Kim. It’s not like she is doing cooking, housework, watching her other child full time, etc. What a waste of money to have a nurse look after a newborn unless the newborn has problems.
Swack- probably the nurses are just a precaution for both Kim and the baby. They can afford the expense, so they do it. Remember that the nannies and the nurses are doing the real work, Kim is busy getting her body back…. Demon Grandma isn’t interested in babysitting off camera, I’m sure. Kim already said with Nori that she had night nurses because she (Kim) needs 8-10 hours of sleep and has to be a good Duggar wife to Kanye any time he’s in the mood. So if little Saint cries in the night, it’s the nurse who finds out why and takes care of it. The nannies probably take over in the daytime unless they feel the need for a medical person on hand then also. Kim is unlikely to be doing anything but occasionally looking at the kid sleeping, as she seemed to do with Nori. So stay tuned for Saint’s first “who the heck are you?” response on camera to mama, since the nurses and nannies will be doing all the things that bond babies to adults.
LOL at the Kourney quote. Reign is ridiculous. SO many names are much more ridic than Saint?
Well I also think it’s going to be both surgery and exercises and diet. And then, BAM, People Mag/ Us Weekly cover.
BTW I never believed that the models who snap back 2 months after giving birth, do it without some sort of “help”. To me, yes they exercise a lot, but they also go and get their tummies tucked, or something. Not all of them, but some of them. So why not Kim? I’m sure 90% of hollywood does it (even us regulars if we had the money, probably).
Haha right? What’s weird is that her first two had more conventional names (Mason, Penelope). Wonder why Reign for the third. Maybe she felt left out at the publicity trough.
Kourtney must just be especially attracted to that name. She said it was on the list for Mason also, but Mason got his late grandfather’s nickname Dash (the origin of the store name) as a middle name. She was considering it for Penelope but spelled Rain. So when #3 came along- she finally was able to use Reign…
Kim’s weight loss plan will be whatever weight loss company she gets paid to endorse.
She tried that with North and no offers ever came.
Apparently the weight loss companies don’t trust her? Or do they not like Kim’s brand?
I wonder why?
Haven’t they been shilling their own weight loss stuff?
Quick trim.
I am not sad that we won’t see her for six weeks. I could use some time off from her whining.
The thought of surgery is the only thing ‘keeping Kim going’!?!?!? Not the new life she’s brought into the world?? Jeeez. Those kids are going to need years of therapy.
Yeah, that bugs me too. Right after having a baby was, I think, the only time in my life I didn’t care about much else (at least for the first few weeks). And truthfully, I didn’t think about weight loss. Sure, there comes a point where every woman wants to get back to “normal” in some way. But he’s less than a week old, woman! Priorities!
She said something similar when North was born. That’s when the nickname IgNori happened, as well as calling her an accessory.
Well, this is Kim. She’s always talked about the baby as an afterthought during pregnancy also, although this last time she must have been coached to occasionally include the idea of being so blessed after whining about the latest medical horror story she came up with to prove how horrible it was to be pregnant. Kim’s job is over once the kid is out of there. From then on, the kid is a potential accessory if it becomes good-looking enough. Kim just uses everybody this way, in pursuit of fame. She even used the alleged love of her life, Reggie, like this, so I’m not so convinced she was in love with him but rather was more likely strongly attracted to the possibilities for getting attention by association. Not surprising she does the same with the babies. We’ll see if Kanye is more interested in this one because it’s a boy. Possibly Kim will also be more interested for the same reason. But Kim really does have deep problems and we see it especially clearly in the way she fails to relate to her children. I still think the basic damage to Kim was done by Demon Mother back when Kim was a child herself.
She’s soooo hands on but she uses a nurses staff around the clock? Right.
I would have loved a night nurse
Probably wouldn’t have had crippling post natal depression if I had some sleep.
Dr. Ourian will be a busy busy boy next couple of months, it’s incredible what he does (for/to them)
Oh that’s who her doctor is! Does he do the whole family?
Yup. He’s the doctor Kylie sees for her lips. He specializes in laser treatments too.
It is so sad to me that women are under ridiculous, and unrealistic pressure to lose weight and look absolutely fuckable after you give birth. God for-fucking-bid that you focus on your baby!!! NO!! You need to look HOT after you have a baby! Because women are useless and unworthy of attention if they aren’t fuckable!!!
I don’t mean lose weight for health, etc. But the fact that celebrities and now us common folk are under pressure to look sexy after giving birth. Bullshit!!!
+ eleventy billion
It’s like women have to be “fuckable” (perfect term here) OR currently pregnant/giving birth. No in between allowed. If you’re neither of these, you’re useless and invisible.
It’s very sad the pressure that exists for women to snap back into pre-pregnancy weight/figure during what should be a time for bonding and recovery. It’s infuriating to think women are made to like failures for not pleasing the eyes of total strangers when they’ve just gone through a physically trying period.
Yes. I really am over this stereotype and pressure. Something needs to change here.
She isn’t doing it because of societal pressure that way. She’s doing it because the faster she gets back into shape, the more money she makes. It’s all about money with her, and she has already succumbed to the notion that she’s only alive to be a walking sex doll.
Applause, sassy and hogtown. So right. Kim is just an extreme example of an attitude that’s far too common.
Here I am, seven weeks out with baby number four. No nurse, no nanny, no surgery, no lasers, no staff. And we don’t live with my mother. Yet somehow we aren’t eating out of the neighbors’ garbage and everyone is dressed and getting done what they need to do. Somebody give me a medal!
🙂
Actually, that is a feat — congratulations to you!
I’m 6 weeks out with number 3… and you do deserve a medal!! I’m in pajamas 70% of the time at least. 😀
Baby nurse is typically a term for a nanny or caregiver who does the overnight shift. Most nannies are day time caregivers, so they probably also have help for the overnight hours.
And maybe, just maybe, if Kim had treated herself a little better during the pregnancy, she wouldn’t need to “bounce back” so much? Maybe if you had worn some supportive undergarments and taken it easy, your body wouldn’t have gone through the ringer like it did? Just saying. It seems like she basically constantly has a need to always be “on.”
And so it starts…
1. Haha who really believes Kim is “hands on”? Hands on people don’t have a whole staff to cater to them.
2. It doesn’t matter what Kim names her kids, they will get made fun of simply because they are HER children. The internet will still exist when those kids are older. Let’s just hope these kids grow tough skin or other kids learn to be nice as it’s not North and Saint’s fault.
3. No we will still see and hear from Kim. She doesn’t want the world to forget about her. She will tweet old “skinny” pics of her on a daily basis.
4. So a trainer is going to come to the house to help her work out. So all those times we see them “going to the gym” really are just pap strolls. They clearly have gyms in their homes and can work out at home if they want to.
Oh please – we all know she stayed in the hospital and had lipo/tummy tuck, who knows what else. These people do not exercise. You’d think she’d be focused on her newborn, not her body. This woman is about as deep as a puddle.
Who wants to see her naked any more? Isn’t this what this is about ? Her countless surgeries so she will show us bikini shots in the next months and nudies?
No one wants to see you like that any more, Jesus woman just move on . I hope the sales of whatever she does go downhill and that show gets canceled so we never have to hear about them on daily basis. They are the worst
Their show is severely declining. Nobody cares about Kim anymore and her younger sisters have become more famous then her.
My mom ditched her baby weight in 2 months at maximum without diets or workouts. Just got back to her work and routine life and size 0-2. I think it is mostly genetics.
You guys are so lucky having had the pregnancy experience. I wanna have a baby so bad ! I am being crazy lol… I’ll go back to my work !
Hope it works out for you Reine.
“Hands on” = one hand tightly gripping her phone, taking selfies, and the other hand holding a mirror so she can make sure she gets her skinniest angles before she sends them off to get Photoshopped into oblivion.
I’ll wager a bet that the only reason she’s going to disappear for a few weeks/months is to heal from the massive amounts of plastic surgery she probably booked the very day she found out she was pregnant again.
