During Pregnancy I coould eat more than before and now after my baby is here I can still eat more. It has been 10 weeks since he was born. I thought my pouch would go back like it was. I am just wondering if anyone else is the same way and what to do about it. I have lost all but 10 pounds of  my pregnancy weight. I gained 46 pounds while preg.

yup! i did well during pregnancy but noticed AFTER pregnancy i eat more. and i'm really noticing it. and my baby is 5 months. i just wanna say, its only been 10 weeks. cut yourself some slack. don't focus too much on that bc you still have lots of things in your body that aren't back to normal yet. i'm going to do a pouch test next week bc i feel like i need to get it back to the size it was before.

My baby is not quite 4 weeks old and I don't know if I am still eating larger quantities but I do feel like I eat continuously--with nursing I am always thirsty and/or hungry!!!

First off let me just say that everyone is different.. I ate alot more during pregnancy I gained 30 lbs.. I Had my boy on Wed. so far I have lost 10 lbs.. I feel like my pouch has went back to normal I cant eat alot like I did when I was pregnant and Im also barley hungry now just really thirsty.. I am nursing also which has helped my uterus  shrink back down fairly quick.. hope this helps

I am going thru the same thing. My son is 9 months and I still feel like I am eating to much.  I didn't get to breast feed due to him having allergies and needing special formula.  I gained 35lbs while pregnant and still have another 25 to lose.  Dr thinks some is due to the Mirena I am using for birth control but my sister never gained weight on it and she is post op also. If someone could let me know if the pouch test works I would appreciate it.
