Guest guest Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 MISSIE! You are pregnant. That accounts for a lot of the increase in calories. I ate donuts during my entire pregnancy. Grazed as well -- eating every 90 minutes. Gained 18 pounds. Lost it. Do not be overly concerned about it but try to make good choices. Do not beat yourself up on it okay? What matters is that you are engineering a baby dear. You are feeding and providing nutrition to a little one. Don't use pregnancy as an excuse to eat everything in the world but don't beat yourself up on making more or different choices than prior. Ferguson Rasley mailto:dferguson@...

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 I am 31 1/2 weeks and have gained 36 pounds. I was an eating machine in the first 4 months of pregnancy and craved big macs and ATE THEM too, it was terrible but i felt like I was out of control. the best part is now at the later part of pregnancy my cravings are gone,except i love strawberrys and watermelon now, but at least that is good for you, i do not eat the large amount of foods i was in the beginning and my weight gain has slowed to all but nothing so i think I am back on track. i will diet my ass off after this bay is born to lose what I have gained and I know this baby will be ssoo worth it all. What you are going thru is normal pregnancy stuff and it will be okay. Good luck to you and your baby. God Bless, Robin, NorthEastern, NY Age- 41 EDD- July 27th, 2004 IT'S A BOY!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Missie, My advice would be to focus on what is healthy for the baby and try to eat that as much as possible and not so much the amount of what you are eating. You are going to gain weight with pregnancy so try to do it with good food and not bad. In my opinion you need to just breathe calm down and adjust to the fact that you are pregnant and your body is going through some MAJOR changes. It will be ok! Just pace yourself.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Hi Missie... First off, let me say congrats on your black belt....My hubby is involved in USSD Martial arts and I know how difficult each rank is to achieve... I think , as with anything, there will be days when you wonder what the heck is going on... I am 21 weeks pregnant, and 15 months post-op...and I have those days as well. There are some days when I can't get down a half cup of oatmeal (even spaced out over 30 minutes!) and days that I feel as though I can (and am!) eating everything not nailed down!!!! I don't know if it's a pregnancy thing..or me and my old ways meeting back up... to date, I have gained just 4 pounds since the beginning of the pregnancy though...and both my OB and surgeon says not to worry about it right now. I sometimes think we are all so much more vigilant than most pregnant women and weight gain because we were at that point where our surgery was necessary...and never wanna go back... Your eating and weight gain may be because you are not working out like you were...and after the baby, that may change again...just hang in there...and give us all a holler if you need us! (This is a GREAT place for support!)
