Guest guest Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 The fact that I have only gained 6 lbs during my 5 months of pregnancy didn't particularly worry me or my doc. Now that I know we're having twins, I'm getting a little worried about only having gained 6 lbs. The Ultrasound showed two healthy babies growing at a perfect rate and my ob says this means they are getting what they need from me. He did say he is concerned about my health, however. He feels that because I initially lost 10 lbs during my first trimester and have only gained 6 of them back, I'm probably still losing weight from my body as the babies and their surroundings are gaining. He said he wouldn't be surprised to see me only gain up to 20-25 lbs throughout my pregnancy and walk out of the hospital weighing less than I did when I became pregnant. Thing is that now he feels I should be eating more often and taking in more calories. For about the past two weeks, tho, when I eat it feels like my early post WLS days. I eat a couple of tablespoons of something and I feel uncomfortably full, even soft foods like beans or cereals. Forget dense proteins these days. Not only can I only handle only 1-2 ounces of meat, but I also can't physically stand the textures or tastes. I guess what I'm getting at with this long and boring post is this... What has been the weightgain and eating experiences of those of you who are post-wls and carrying/have carried multiples? I'm hoping I'm right on target here, but those itty bitty 6 lbs have got me worried.
