Doc has me on a diet .. mortified.

in Pregnant after a Loss
So I just had my 24 weeks appt. I've gained 23 lbs so far, which the doctor said is too much, too fast. So he's put me on a diet. No fruit, no carbs, no nuts, no sugar. Basically I can only eat veggies, skim milk and some chicken. The worst part is he lectured me in front of DH, who has now become the food police. I want to do what is best for baby and will definitely follow it. But, man, this really puts a wrench in Thanksgiving. Has this happened to anyone else? ?

    start tomorrow...... enjoy today and your holiday... one more day wont make a difference in the long run!

    I am in a different food situation... I don't eat enough healthy foods, so I get the "food lecture" from my dh every day.  It's like he is the food police, he wants to know what I ate, and to make sure I ate enough protein and veggies.  He swears his son is going to be a bagel when he comes out.

    oh crap. I've gained about the same (and I already had about 15 unnecessary pounds on me from the previous year of 3 m/c's.) ?ugh!! I just can't deal with being so hormonal and starving at the same time. **shame**

    I am sorry! I unfortunately started this pregnancy with diabetes, so I know the whole carb thing, which cuts out a lot of fruits as well...Any yes, DH is the food police too. I ate a tiny bit of halloween candy (2 fun size), and he got all up in arms (I took more insulin, shessh)

    I will be eating a lot of turkey, a tiny bit of stuff...but filling up mainly on turkey and veggies!! Green bean casserole counts right??
