weight loss after baby

after my RNY I had very little apetite. Most times, I made myself eat because I knew my body needed fuel. However, since being pregnant, my appetite is ravenous. I am never full anymore. I have read that this could be due to the increased progestrone. Just wondering if anyone else has this issue or had this issue. Does it go away? I long to be full again.

I'm not sure- I have days when I am hungrier than before, but I still feel full. I also still have days where everything makes me puke- and it's surgery related, because morning sickness feels very different. I have gained some weight though. Sorry I can't help you!

I thought it was just ME!!! Well hello new best friend (lol) I eat everything thats not nailed down to the floor!! (of course in small portions though) And my Doc says thats gonna happen cause of the hormones and the baby taking everything from us, so i eat i swear every hour. lol!! Its ridiculous. but from what i was told its going to go away after the baby comes!! Good luck!! Take care!!!

I have the lap band, but I understand what you're talking about. Before I was pregnant, I ate 3 meals a day, no snacks and wasn't hungry. Now it's like I can eat a meal, get full, but then an hour and a half or two later, I'm hungry again and I need to eat. It's physical hunger pains too, not head hunger. It is blowing my mind.

Thank you ladies. I am glad to know that it isn't just me. I just pray it goes away. I only have about 7 more weeks to go.

Well for me when I was pregnant I ate everything in sight and never really felt full.  There are days now that I feel full after eating a normal meal other days that I can eat like I did when I was pregnant and not feel full.  So I have to be extremely careful so that I don't gain any weight.  I've been thinking about trying the 5 day pouch test to try to get the tightness back.  I can't really help with weight loss after pregnancy though because I only gained 2 lbs.

Yes that happened to me, and much to my amaze after having my baby my appetite did go back to pre-pregnancy and  I even over ate a couple times and threw up. right now I am nursing so I am eating a little more than before. I gained 40lbs and at 6 weeks post baby I had lost 43. So it can be done, I say just like everyone here told me enjoy your pregnancy eat when you are hungry just try to make healthy choices!!

I ate everything and anything. Now that I had Hayvann I dont feel the hunger anymore. I still feel hungry some but nothing like before. I have to make myself eat since I am breastfeeding. Trying to adjust is hard. I lost all of my 14 pregnancy pounds though. :)

OH THANK YOU! 
You ladies have given me hope!!!

When I got pg, after the morning sickness went away at 12 weeks, my appetite went into PIG mode!  LOL  I could eat a lot more than pre pg and wondered how I could do that with such a little tummy with the RNY.   Someone on here said that our body is metabolising the food a lot faster, now that the baby is growing so quickly and so we need to eat more often and are sometimes eating larger amounts than normal.   So the food goes through us a lot quicker and we need to refuel more often!  

I hope it goes away after I have the baby, although I'll be nursing and probably be really thirsty along with being hungry for another year!
