Re: Hunger question/quantity

[Guest guest]

Yeah my hunger started before I knew I was pg, but that was normal

for that time of the month. I'm just glad to know I'm not the only

one always hungry, or who could eat more than what I was before.

Thank you for responding.

Don't worry your appetite will probably decrease as your baby gets bigger and

presses upward. I could eat a lot in my early pregnancy. Now I'm 28 weeks and

cannot eat much at all without starting to feel ill and that pain I had when I

first had my WLS.

Hunger question/quantity

Ok, I am starving, 24/7. I swear that I can't seem to stay full.

I'm not drinking with my meals, I'm getting in my protien, and if I

don't eat, then I get really queasy and weepy and cranky. Ok, that

being said, I also can eat way too much. Before I was pg, I had

normal full feelings at my normal amounts. So, it started not

slowly, but fast, one day I made my normal 2 eggs for breakfast, yes

I can eat 2 eggs. Well, that didn't even put a dent in my hunger

level. So I made 2 more, becaus eI figured, ok 1 bite and I'll be

full, then I can toss the whole thing, this is just head hunger.

Nope, ate the whole thing. And didn't have that ouch I ate too much

feeling. I can also eat a whole ham sandwich(I hate ham, but

apparently the food monster inside of me wants it on bread with mayo

and swiss cheese and lots and lots of mustard. I can't get full at

all if I don't eat this and the supplies are in the house). And

sweets, keep me away from them. Apparently I don't dump, and this

little food monster wants them all. I try to stick to a bite here

and there of what my husband is having so that I don't go crazy, but

I was working the other day and someone had donuts here, and all the

willpower I've had since surgery went straight out the window, and I

ate 3!! I was in shock. I mean it was throughout the day. Oh, and

my weight has been wavering at 205, where I was when I got pregnant,

to 203, where I've never been before pg, and to 206. So its not like

my weight is jumping way up. Is all this normal?? First time mom

worries. (Though I'm thinking that the hunger is a really really

good sign that this baby is here to stay, lol) Oh yeah, my pants are

too tight, and I can feel a little hard area, round ball like area

under my bellybutton, though its more like a grapefruit than a ball,

is this normal? Lots of questions, I know, but hey, more excitement

now than spazzing.

Kris,

I'm 12 weeks right now and I went through something similar. Scared

me to death! I wasn't eating large quantities, but I was ravenous all

the time! Eating every 1 1/2 to 2 hours. It lasted for a few weeks

and now has slowed a bit. I eat fewer times a day now, but at one

sitting I can eat more than I used to pre-pregnancy...

From what I understand, this is pretty common. Although it's hard,

I've been trying to relax a little bit about this whole weight/food

thing and enjoy the pregnancy. Listen and trust your body. It knows

what it needs right now.

Good luck!
