I've forgotten what to eat

hey all, congrats to all who have reached their goals. I have had a few bumps in the road. I got pregnant in may of this year. I had complications and was put on bedrest at 3 mos. I was hospitalized at 5 months and had my baby at 6 mos. When I got pregnant, I started eating more often. Like every hour it seemed like. but i wasn't really eating a lot. I only gained maybe 10 pounds during my pregnancy. Well, I haven't lost anything, but what's really strange is that I went up like 2-3 sizes in my jeans. My clothes were fitting tighter before I ever found out I was pregnant-but, I would think all this extra insulation would go away after I had my son. Also, I have forgotten the rules about eating and drinking, i.e. how long to wait after drinking before eating and so on. A friendly reminder would be greatly appreciated. Also, I could use your prayers for my little boy, as he is having a great amount of difficulties due to his prematurity and surgery. thanks -amber

First of all, I hope the baby is doing OK... lots of positive energy going his way! The rules... different doctors, different rules But! Basically, you want to make sure you are eating at least 80 grams of protein a day. When you sit down to eat, PROTEIN FIRST, then salad, and if you still have space for more, carbs come last... Don't drink anything about 30 minutes before and until about 1 hour after eating... Take your vitamins religiously every day. Drink lots and lots of water... Take care, Angie
