Weigh In Day!!

SO ladies - how are we doing this week??

I am holding steady at 205, that's a 7 pound gain at 32 weeks. Baby is weighing in at 4lbs 6 oz and I'd assume that there are at least 3 pounds of fluids etc in there. Maybe I'll come home after delivering weighing less then my pre-pregnancy weight! lol

PS- I have no idea how I got this "lucky" I fully expected to gain about 40 pounds. I LOVE food and carbs

Sounds like ur doing good Liz...

 

Me I am down another 2 lbs knocking me below 350 at 348... I couldn't believe it when I saw the scale... the twins are doing good but my doc says most likely I was looking at C-Section and he was gonna cut above the belly button coming up next to my scar from RNY... The Doc want the twins to stay in at least another 2 weeks and then it will be ok if I do go into labor...

You're doing good. I on the other hand, think I suck personally. According to my scale at home, over the past week I've lost about 6 pounds. I'm SO sick with myself I can't stand it. I WANT to be up like 10 pounds by now, but I'm down -9 as of my March 18th appt. and probably down more now. I'm having a HORRIBLE time eating. I try to eat something every second I'm awake and I lay down all the time to avoid burning extra calories with any activity.

I do, however, think that this baby has doubled in size overnight cuz I really have a belly now when I didn't last week. Maybe she's stealing all those extra pounds I'm missing. Hopefully she's taking it all and not suffering from my weight loss. I'm still so ticked with myself for not being able to just stuff a bunch of food in my mouth whenever I want to.
Like yesterday I had
2 scrambled eggs
a small granny smith apple
10 small celery stalks (5 one time, 5 another time) dipped in full calorie French dressing
small bowl of mini wheats with milk
Eight 5 cheese ravioli's with a small amount of tomato sauce
4 slices of american cheese
the noodles and chicken out of 2 small cans of chicken noodle soup (gave several bites to my 3 year old TOO cute little moocher!)
1 Nutty bar stick (just for the calories and a sweet treat).
Handful of corn chips just for a crunch

ALL of that took me like 12 hours to eat. Meat pretty much makes me sick. I get sick feeling usually everytime after eating half the eggs, so I have to take a "break" just to be able to finish the rest. Same thing with the ravioli's. I ate half of them and was then cutting off the noodle edges and just eating the cheese part cuz I was feeling sick after half of them. Yesterday was a sucky eating day cuz I need to go to the grocery store so I was eating just what was in the fridge.....literally. This is the end of the month ration time.....LOL Where we gotta eat our least favorite stuff.....lol

Ok, so anyway, I suck and I hope that I can start getting in MORE food and start seeing better results on the scale......like a big GAIN! Jiminy!

Allie I lost 15 pounds in the beginning! You'll gain - don't worry! Remember the baby is the "perfect parasite" She is getting what she needs, you'll just suffer. Sounds like you are eating plenty. I've found at this stage I have to eat a lot of "slider" foods just to get the calories in. SO it's a lot of yogurt, pudding, oatmeal, ricotta cheese etc. I've also switched to the full fat version of a alot of these things. A friend of mine told me to put butter and cheese on everything if your pouch will tolerate it! lol it sounds crazy but it's gotten me to 1800 calories on more then 1 day.

Good luck and don't be so hard on yourself! My OB also told me that it's ok to loose weight the whole time as long as you "have it to loose" (which I do)

Thanks Liz. I guess I'm just feeling like I don't eat enough, A. Because I'm STILL losing weight despite volume at almost 3 years out (April 23rd) and B. Because it takes me forever to eat any one thing. Like the 5 celery sticks I ate.....little things about 4 inches long......took me an HOUR to eat. Scrambled eggs.....2 of them.....took me like 45 minutes. It just shouldn't take me that long to eat any one small quantity. But then again, I've had eating troubles since week 6 after my bypass so I don't know why I'm still surprised. As long as she's sucking what she needs out of me.......I guess I'm fine with it! lol I DO try to add calories where I can.....butter, cheese, but I just straight out eat the cheese and if I cook my eggs in butter it makes me sicker so I kind of have to use the canola oil non-stick spray.

Thanks for the pick me up. I shouldn't be hard on myself but I feel SO guilty because I'm the one that's responsible for getting her her food. lol I honestly eat JUST because of her because if it were just me, I'd be content to probably just eat cheese and crackers all day long because I have an appetite for NOTHING.......*sigh* I'm sure it'll get better......I've been saying that for almost 3 years! lol

I've gained a pound in the last week so I'm currently sitting at 169, which is 1 lb away from where I was at when I first saw the OB last September.. 15 or so more weeks to go!

I am up two pounds to to 231.

I am up to 217 which equates to a total of 10lbs gained at 32 weeks for me. Baby is doing well. I haven't had his weight for a few weeks so I will find that out next week. Fetal assessments have been good. Have another one today. The back pain has gone with the help of a maternity belt and a professional massage. Couldn't get the chiropractor approved soon enough for the pain. I'm working on that for this week.

I am glad that the pain is improving though! i Feel like baby is trying to escape through my lungs today.

 Good Afternoon!

Well I weighed in yesterday but totally forgot to post and I am back down... I started at 204...and I am 200.6. I have SERIOUSLY lost and gained the same 3-5 pounds over and over and over... my doctor wants me to drink boost or ensure, but it gags me. I am trying to get in extra calories!

P.S. I told my other babies that we are having another and it is a boy they are super duper excited! I go to the doctor on Friday so I will give updates then. I am 21.5 weeks!
