Cravings

I am so glad that my craving for sweets has gone away once I had the baby.  I was afraid I was using my pregnancy as an excuse to eat whatever I wanted.  My problem now is I am not really hungry.  I don't feel like I'm eating enough or enough quality foods to be healthy for the baby (I am breastfeeding).  Anyone else having this problem? 

I have lost 20lbs in less than 2 weeks.  I put on about 75lbs during my pregnancy, and I had a C-Section if that matters.

Re: Cravings

  • When we first came home from the hospital I had absolutely no appetite for anything.  DH literally had to force me to eat.  Once he went back to work, my MIL would come over each day for a few hours to help out and make sure I ate something.  It gets better, I swear!  My appetite has returned the last week or so and I'm finally drinking enough fluids for breastfeeding (I EP).  I lost about 25lbs within the first 2 weeks.  I actually weight less now then when I got my BFP.

  • I'm in the same boat. My sweets cravings are done and I have very little appetite. I am 1 week pp and down 18lbs (36lbs gained total). I have to force feed myself during the day, and DH makes me a good dinner at night, but I'm not usually hungry.'i have been crazy thirsty though. I'm BF and my supply is awesome so I'm not worried, but I am trying to make sure what I do eat is high in nutrients since I'm lacking in volume.
