I am 28 weeks preg and I was wondering if anyone else can eat alot at one time. I am worried I have stretched my pouch. Before I got preg I could only eat a small amount. I have also gained 27 pounds so far. I know I am 7 months but it seems like alot to me. I also wonder after I have my baby boy will my eating slow down lol. kiss

Hi, I'm also 28 weeks pregnant and I can EAT!!! I eat and eat all day long. ..lol. But I need to for the TWO babies that I am cooking inside of me. . lol. I still eat the little portions that I am used to eating since I am almost 3 years post op from my RNY but I just eat more throughout the day. . .which is actually ok I guess becuase I have only gained 19 pounds. From what I remember the doctors telling me, there is NO way to "stretch" your pouch, that its not possible so that is good. What the doctors that I have spoken to said about people *****gain said that people just learn how to trick their pouch and themselves into eating more.

I can't really give you any advice or experience about how it will be after the baby is born becuase I am still in the same boat as you. . lol.We will find out though. Good luckkiss

It's actually normal. The hormones in your body that relax your uterine muscles and allow them to stretch and are also responsible for leg cramps and constipation relax your stomach muscles as well. So your pouch is actually more stretchy right now. It will go back to normal after delivery.

Yes, can eat pasta and was craving it for weeks, the cravings have slowed down now.  And I also can eat more sweets than before although I never know when the RH will rear it's head.
