Hi all,
I haven't posted in a long time but given my surgery, this is the best place I know to go with these questions. This is my first baby, a boy, due May 17th. I am 25 and just about 2 years post op from my RNY. I know the pouch can stretch over time and so far weight wise I think I am doing ok 209 was the start and I am ranging from 224-229 depending on the water weight at the moment.
Very recently I find myself hungry a lot and I mean HUNGRY. I don't gorge and I am not getting sick but I am wanting to eat quite a bit more than I am used to. Is this normal? Anyone else have this problem? I am not even sure it's a problem. I am such a picky eater and I have had the weirdest food moods. One day I want sweets (after surgery too much sugar just kills me) I never eat chocolate, not a fan but gosh I want it with my pregnancy. There's that part and some other weird cravings for me Carmel flavored coffee. I have spent more on Starbucks in the past month than I have the rest of my life. Not going crazy on it at all but I love it for some crazy reason. Then there is the whole food thing, fast food thankfully makes me ill because of all the grease but the french fries and the Arby's Chicken Parmesean toasted sub don't and I have loved them! I totally cut back but I am just soooooooo paranoid. I am absolutly terrified to gain more weight and I still eat good foods minus the side notes above. Anyone else have this feeling?
We weren't planning on the pregnancy and I was so freaked because I was almost under 200 then this. I love being pregnant and can't wait but the weight thought is still looming like a cloud in the back of my mind. No one can understand the feeling I have so I am really looking for any advice here.
