I wonder if she is not wearing one of those baby bands - its like a corsette - I was watching the Today show when they were telling pregnant moms its the greatest thing to wear as soon as you have a baby it holds everything in, and helps your body go back... (of course I thought it was a bunch of .. but a corsette would give you your shape back fast for sure)

Bethenny didn't gain an excessive amount of weight during her pregnancy, and she lost most of it during the delivery. I think she had a bit of a pooch but she herself said she didn't use the pregnancy as an excuse to go out and "eat for two." She was in good shape, she ate well, she didn't gain a lot of weight, and after her first baby, she got her shape back pretty quickly.

My co-worker gave birth 3 weeks ago and almost looks the size she was before getting prego. She says she is still 20lbs from pre-pregnancy size, but I find it hard to believe. I asked her if she was anorexic when she got pregnant, lol. P.S. Spanx is the best product ever invented! I am sure she is wearing them.

Costa, Bethenny also does a lot of yoga, continuing it into her pregnancy. That helps maintain the elasticity of her muscles, which would help those abdominals snap back into place after giving birth. I saw a picture in some magazine of her in a yoga pose, and all I could think was that Jason is one lucky man...

True. Yoga and Pilates will ensure you've got great abdominals. (I know I'm loving mine these days!)

Not to tick anybody off....but 2 days after I had my son, I was within 5 pounds of my pre-pregnancy weight. It can definitely happen to people...everybody is different.

b*tch! this reminds me when we adopted our son. I was bringing him to the doc to be check out. He was 5 days old. I was VERY tiny back then and the mother's about flipped when I said he was 5 days old. I considered not mentioning he was adopted, but it seemed too mean. LOL

After a cruise I gained some weight and then was able to get rid of it very fast. People could not believe I was on a cruise.

The only way I could lose weight quickly would be if I cut off a limb! I think I read in one of the Bethenny blogs or twitters that she did use some kind of baby band or whatever. Not having ever been pregnant, I thought it was something you used to give yourself support before the baby was born, but I guess after makes just as much sense!!

See, Texannie, that's why I didn't want to say anything They actually hide the scale on PostPartum, because Moms decide they want to weigh themselves, and then get depressed, so they discourage them from using it. I just knew where it was hidden

My youngest baby is now almost 14. 4 kids. For my last three I was overweight and I gained very little (old eggs that should have never been able to get preggers.). I ate like a horse. The OB was harping on me to gain more weight. I gave birth and didn't even lose the weight of the baby after delivery!!!!! How could the baby weight 7+ pounds and I was only 3 pounds lighter? Different women's bodies react and recover differently. Unfortunatley my body has never recovered, but it was a wreck anyway. I sure love my kidlettes.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this show. I was cracking up the whole way through. The Costco part, how SWEET was Jason to go collect the free samples for Bethenny awe! Also when no one came to the book signing, she was like GOOD, let's shop! I just find B so down to earth. I mean she is totally a driven type A personality, but she lives in reality. Unlike Kelly B who lives in Candyland with gummy bears, rainbows and a rich ex husband.

Show 3 down and I still just love it! Jason is a sweet man and it's great to see Bethenny learning that it's o.k. to trust someone to love her.

Dear Bravo TV: This is how a reality TV show should be. Follow someone around, who is just living her life and who happens to be likable. She isn't intentionally mean, she doesn't try to claw her way to the top. She's flawed, and she knows it. This show is the most enjoyable hour I spend on Bravo TV. In fact, this is the most enjoyable hour I've spent all year (including all three RH series that have aired so far this year). Thank you for finally allowing me to laugh, cry, and just ENJOY a show! ...sue

I tried to watch last night and except for a few humorous moments, I still find her caustic, abrasive and demanding. I cringe at her comments about Silex because there's still that subtle put-down tone when all they've ever done is be nice and kind to her. She might be the lesser of the evils from the Housewives but I don't think that's saying much. I think she just has better PR connections.

She is flawed, but she admits it. THAT is what I like about her, and what I find so refreshing. I am absolutely LOVING this show. Then again, I've, for the most part, always liked Bethenny. I'd guess if you didn't like her, you wouldn't like a show all about her. For me, I would much rather spend an hour a week watching HER show than watching an hour a week of any of the RH franchises. I'm not disgusted with people when I watch Bethenny's show.

Costacat, ITA. Bethenny is delightful, flaws and all. I have a similar sense of humor so I appreciate hers. LOVE, LOVE this show. I cracked up at her adventures in Costco. She was like a kid in a toy store. BRAVO--please, please, please don't do anything to mess up this show (like bringing Jill into the picture). This show is a wonderful break from the "reality" tv shows available.

I love this show!!! She is a New Yorker so that might be why she seems abrasive. They can be more to the point for sure. I love that about her. She is really willing to put things right out to the face of the person. She has been through so much. I am totally in love with her therapist simply for how he can "see" her.

She is flawed, but she admits it. That's what I like about her, too. Even the wedding planner was driving her nuts and she DID feel bad about it later. I had to laugh at the scenes when she's talking about childbirth-I am with Bethenny, why NOT use drugs? LOL

OMG she was HILARIOUS in that Costco! Kind of reminded me of the first time I was in a Price Club (which was the predecessor to all Costco's). I was grabbing everything in sight cuz it was such a good price!

http://www.bravotv.com/bethenny-getting-married/season-1/blogs I love her assistant max's blog This is the best part: Packing for women is not exactly in my skill set (obviously). But like most of the tasks I do for Bethenny, it's my first time doing it and it needs to be done, so I need to learn on the fly and fast. She was yelling to me to pull a jumpsuit out her closet and I have absolutely no idea what a jumpsuit looks like. Picking panties out of drawers? My mind wasn't on picking what g-string would match her jumpsuit, my mind was on Jason and the shotgun he'd have to my head if he knew I was in his fiance's panty drawer!

I, too, love this show. I can relate to her because I pop off with the one-liners similar to hers. My former m-i-l didn't know how to take me (and my little quips) until her son told her to take me with a grain of salt. I don't mean anything personally. I just try to make lemons into lemonade-or is it lemonade into lemons? (sry, just couldn't help myself lol) I really like her sense of humor, and she seems like she tries to find something funny in a bad situation. Again, a bit like me. Please, Bravo, do not change a thing about this show. Please? With sugar on top?
