That is exactly how I felt the first trimester and 1/2 into the second. it

gets better though. I did overdue it though and ate alot of Mcs crap and

ate too many times on going to bed thinking " I'm pregnant, the baby needs

this " So I sabatoged myself And i already gained 30 pounds at 26 1/2 weeks

but

they told me today that was a good thing, YEAH RIGHT, to THEM maybe...Well, i

am better now and I am praying I can stay under the 40 pounds mark for the

whole pregnancy.

You sound just like me. It seems as if I eat all day long!! I have

even gotten up at night to go potty and grabbed a snack on the way

back to the bedroom!! alot of posts I have read say the same thing.

My hubby and I have a joke that it's not me that is hungry, it's the

baby. Almost every post I have read has said to eat when you are

hungry, because you need all the nutrition you can get. I am now 24

weeks and have gained 5lbs. I lost 12lbs to begin with though.

Good luck.

It was the norm with me. The baby takes what he/she needs and most of the time

that was anything I consumed. I lost 50lbs during my pregnancy but I was also

only 3 months out of surgery.

Hi Robin!

It is so comforting to hear that someone else out there is eating and

gaining… I am almost 23 weeks and have gained 16 pounds so far (I know

even more by my 24 week check up!). I have felt like a failure in some

regards because so many people on the list don’t gain (actually lose

throughout) or have only gained 5 pounds so I feel really alone. I keep

reminding myself that I am 3 ½ years out and that everyone is different.

Thank you for writing this about your gain--it is “normal” or “average”

for a pregnant woman!!

I, too, haven’t made the best choices but you know what, I feel good and

the baby is healthy and that is all that matters. I think that many of

us dwell too much on the weight gain (me included) due to the journey we

have had or are going through. I know that I when I found out I was

pregnant, I really thought I wouldn’t gain that much being that I had

WLS—but then my doctor reminded me how long ago I had surgery and that

my eating proportions have changed.

Thanks again Robin, I am not feeling so alone anymore!!

IVY!

Please dont compare yourself to others. Most people who lose throughout or

dont gain are still in the honeymoon period of the surgery. I gained 18

pounds while pregnant but I also had the stomach flu and severe morning

sickness during the first three months of pregnancy which kept the gain down

a bit. Normal weight gain for pregnancy is 25 to 35 pounds for women who did

not have surgery. Post WLS surgery is a little lower but you are still

expected to gain. YOu sound like you are doing just fine!! Enjoy every

moment dear.

I have to admit.. I allow myself a Mc's cheeseburger once a

week.. my treat on Fridays.... otherwise, I just try to eat fairly

healthy stuff.. but I still like ice cream too.. I can't tolerate

drinking milk - but the sugar free Ice cream, I can handle..

Thanks for the advice!

That sounds like my wife...for the past week she has been getting up at the same

time every morning (4:30) feeling like she can eat down the house...she eats

then comes back to bed...let me tell you, that baby has HER on a scheduel!!!!

Appetite question

Okay ladies..

I am 11 weeks along tommorrow and over the past couple weeks .. I

can't stop eating. I have a sandwich for lunch (cheese) or peanut

butter and I kid you not..within an hour and a half.. I am " starving "

again. I can't believe how ravenous I feel.. and I am not gaining

anything! Is this normal??? Should I be concerned?

Thanks,

Trish

I just found out yesterday I was pregnant, and that may explain why I

*gasp* ate 4 eggs yesterday morning. I have no clue how I fit that

in me, 2 eggs, are almost too much. I ate my 2 fried eggs, and when

I finished, I was still starving. So, I scrambled 2 more, figuring

yeah sure I'd probably only eat a bite or two, but noooo, I ate all

of it. Then I was ok, but I have been feeling starving for 3 days

now. Not today though, today I'm really really quesy. Looks like my

deoderant is not a good thing, the smell of it has me feeling sick,

lol.
