I will be 12 weeks on Tuesday, and I'm down about 20 pounds. I find it hard to eat anything especially in the last couple weeks. I try to drink protein shakes, eat cheese, yogurt and so on, but it doesn't always stay down. I think my major issue is that I'm only 5 months post op and my stomach was moody before, now its mad at me every day. So this surprise pregnancy is wearing me out, lol.

I'm 21 weeks and up 9 lbs.  I started pregnancy about 30 lbs. higher than my goal so I'm trying to limit the weight gain.  I have gained a little more than I wanted to by this point.  I never had any morning sickness or nausea which made it a little harder on me- no reason not to eat!  I was told to gain 20 - 25 lbs. for the whole pregnancy, and try my best to stick to the low end.


I eat a lot of string cheese and cottage cheese.  I was lactose intolerant before pregnancy but seem to be temporarily "cured", which is nice.  I also have been eating greek yogurt and turkey jerky because I'm trying to keep my protein high.

     

Temporarily holding on losing more because I'm gaining!  Pregnant with my first baby (a boy!) due June 2013, after two rounds of IVF.  SO GRATEFUL!

I am 27 weeks along and gained 13# thus far, I am have been workout as much as my body allows which offsets some of my snacking but I eat a lot of cereal, yogurt, bananas, and worst ... S'mores pop tarts! ( def workout days)...I was big into paleo prior to preggo but haven't been able to stick with it as meat tends to be my enemy this pregnancy , really have to want it to get it down.

I am 23 weeks and up about 14 lbs which is on "target" for me. I am hoping to keep total weight gain at 25-30 lbs which is where I was at with my first pregnancy with my son. Most I lost right after he was born and with nursing so praying that happens this time too. I also eat LOTS of cheese: String Cheese, Babybel, Laughing Cow,. Cottage Cheese- it is no wonder I am not a cow yet from all the cheese. LOL I also eat trail mixes-fruit and nut mixes, hummus and pita crisps or veggie sticks, jerky, etc and occasionally give in to sweet tooth but has not been too bad so overall I think that has helped.

apparently pretty crappy. i've gained 20 pounds so far :/ i'm at week 19. doc is screeching at me about it. it's sad too because i've been watching my diet even closer since getting pregnant and i measure out everything. i have a food bag that i take to school for the nine hours that i'm there. each little container is measured. i make sure to get enough proteins, carbs, to make sure that i'm eating veggies and drinking my milk. making sure my foods are still low fat and getting more exercise than i did before because i'm walking around all over campus and the campus is a 20 minute from the parking lot to the buildings and another 20 minutes between classes because someone went with a brilliant design of putting every class i have on the opposite side of campus from one another. doing all fo that and still watching myself blow up like a balloon. :(

I'm only 13w2d, but I'm losing. Since Christmas I've lost about 20lbs  I had gained weight before getting pregnant (4 year post op rebound).

I'm 19 weeks had gained 10 pounds by 11 weeks then between 12 weeks and 16 weeks lost 16 pounds I have since put back on 8 pounds and just trying to keep it steady

I am eating what I can when I can.  I am still dealing with an unknown abdominal pain that makes me have no appetite I am struggling to get my protein in.  Dietitian wants me to get 80 g of protein a day most days I am lucky to get in 60 but trying to push for the 80 thinking of having to get a different protein powder to try and get a shake in each day

Love the powercrunch bars! My grocery store (shoprite) has even started carrying them and they are now available on amazon by the case.  My favorites are the peanutbutter creme or the chocolate peanutbutter.
