Overeating?

[jerz 251]

To all my pregnant mommas...do you feel like you can eat more on certain days? This is nothing compared to what I used to eat preop but today since 9am (it's now 4:30pm) I've had 1/2 lenders bagel w/cream cheese, a turkey sandwich on 1/2 roll w/lettuce & Tomato, cup of veggie Soup and some chips. Bagel for bkfast @9 nd the rest was a hospital lunch at 12pm (took me 2hrs to eat lunch) I have not had anything to drink since lunch at 12-2 besides the soup and I feel like I'm starving just 2 1/2 hrs after finishing lunch :-(

OAN...I had an Iron infusion today so maybe that's why the increases appetite. Idk but now I'm itching for my hubby to get home with my salad. I feel so hungry.

I am always hungry and feel like all I do is eat and eat. Not always good food either. I dont eat nothing like I did pre op but a lot more then I did pre pregnancy. Lol.

I agree. Im just glad the scale isn't moving much. Ive lost 13 pounds since I found out I am pregnant and have gained 2-3 back in the last couple weeks. Im ok with that. Im 15 weeks. Now just want to find out what I'm having and feel him or her move.

I'm not pregant, but I plan on getting pregnant as soon as I'm allowed to... and have been talking with my DR about it alot. She says that just like pre-op, pregnancy can cause many extra hormones that cause you to want to eat and feel more hungry than normal. You need to make sure that you are controlling yourself, and only eating what your body NEEDS, not just whenever it WANTS. I know its easier said than done, but it's important to remember

My surgeon, OB and nut are all on the same page. I have a plan in place by all 3 and know what I can and can't have. I've also been told if I'm craving something to go ahead but not to over do it. Which I don't cause I will get sick. I've been told to gain weight (25-35lbs). I am eating healthy and doing exactly what I've been told. Thanks anyway.

You're absolutely right. And it is easier said than done. Good luck in the future!
