Guest guest Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Robin, I am in the same boat... 13 weeks along and now I have lost over 20 pounds since pregnant. I was 205 when I got prego and now I am so close to my 175 goal... PROBLEM is.. it is scarry to loose weight during pregnancy. My doctor doesn't seem to be very concerned about the weight loss though. He says it is very common, in normal pregnancies.. and more common in women who have had WLS. His suggestion to me... don't force yourself to over eat.. and then barf. Eat what sounds good.. if a banana sounds good.. then eat a banana. Fruit has been my saving grace. Remember, the baby will get what it needs before you will... so most likely, you will feel a little weak and the baby is just fine. Also, try to get alot of water in... i know it is hard but it does help me. I try to drink my protien drink.. (I do the herbal life weight loss snack shakes, wildberry and mango peach... they are delicious and taste like crystal lite.. honestly) This way I am getting protien in too.. Hope this gives you some ideas.. it will most likely go away soon. Good luck!
