Insane appetite lately!

Hi ladies :)

I just hit my 17th week this week and I have been so so SO hungry...ALL THE TIME!  I had lost almost 10 lbs during the course of my pregnancy but when I went back to my o.b. last week, they said I had gained 8 of those lbs back...in a month!  I'm freaking out...I know I'm retaining a lot of water because my wedding rings are so tight on my finger now and you can leave indentions on my legs when you press on them (Dr. doesnt seem to be concerned about that tho)  I'm just scared that I'm going to gain too much weight.  Is my appetite normal for post WLS pregnancy?  I'll be 1 yr out of surgery this coming Sept. 14 and I'm down 100 lbs.  I'm just so scared of getting big again :(

My appetite has been insane as well. You're body's doing what it needs to do. It's letting you know you're hungry so that you can eat and get in the nutrition you and that baby need. I know it's hard, but try not to worry about the number on the scale! The weight will come off again after baby is born. Right now your little one's health and well being is much more important. Good luck!

On an interesting little side note, I've read that an extremely hearty appetite could be an indicator that you have a boy on board ;)

We already have 2 girls so a little boy would be awesome...but, we've had a gender u/s and we are DEFINITELY team pink again...which is also awesome!
