STARVING.........seriously I am!

[Vixstar]

Okay.....everday I am starving. I eat 3 meals a day and ahve my m/t and a/t and most nights a Caro in front of the telly (we try to limit dessert to one night per week unless we have fruit). I wake up in the night starving but roll over and go back to sleep.

I drink 2L each day plus other drinks so I cannt be dehydrated.

This morning I had porridge....2 hours later....starving!

I was not like this with my boys...I prolly over ate with them with "eating for 2" going on in my head.

What do you girls eat throughout the day?

and another question before I forget...is Sustagen okay to have???? I can't remember.....

[~Trish~]

Oh, I was exactly the same when pg with DD! It must be a bub #3 thing because I was definitely hungrier with her than I was with my boys

I even started a thread asking for snack ideas LOL! The link is here: https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...ack-ideas.html Hopefully you find some ideas!

I eat every 2 hours because I am starving not long after eating.

I was worried about it initially thinking I'd stack on the weight but I haven't!

LOL so true plus us all growling out aloud for food which is what I do too. I've found constantly grazing on cashews or fruit or drinking milk helps plus eating a proper hearty breakfast & lunch with protein in both instead of just a sandwich helps. Mine has calmed down the last week which my team at work have really noticed as I'm not constantly off to the kitchen to whip something up or chomping away in meetings

I had no appetite at all and never felt hungry in the first 10 weeks. Now i do but im rarely hungry.

[Apes23]

OMG I am the same! I have to eat ALL the time otherwise I start to feel nauseas. I usually feel sick as soon as I wake up so I have to have breakfast ASAP.

I try to eat healthy foods such as crackers and fruit, but I always find myself snacking on chocolate and chips. At night im a sucker for ice-cream after dinner.

Sorry not sure about the sustagen.

Hmmm maybe this means we will have girls because I wasnt this hungry with DS either? lol

[Netix]

I was always hungry when I was pg, sick as well, but always eating too. And I didn't put on any weight, probably because I threw it all up again. Anyway....

I just read the label on my tin of chocolate 'hospital grade' sustagen for you, and yes it can be taken during pg. It actually says so. Don't forget, you can make it with water, if you feel a bit green from too much milk, and it still tastes alright.

Hmmm, hungry now even though just had dinner, so excuse me while I go and make myself a big glass of sustagen. The Man says I still eat for two, even though I don't even bf much anymore.

[*Infinity*]

I'm still treading that fine line between being starving and then wanting to throw it all back up again. Blerk. I can't wait for the nausea to go away and just be starving and stuffing my face!

[Loula]

I was just the same soo sooo soooo hungry all the time at the start of this pg, it tapered off about 11 1/2 weeks

But i didnt put on more than 1kg!?

[MumtoA]

hahaha i know how you feel! in my first tri i remember eating and still being hungry even as i shoved the food into my mouth as quick as i could! i was so glad when it eventually went away...all those years of teaching yourself not to over eat and just being starving all the time!

[Vixstar]

Oh good, off to have some Sustagen! I drank a litre of milk after dinner last night.

[Netix]

Lol, okay, well at least now you know you can have it.

PS, its pretty good on ice cream too.....

[Vixstar]

Off to do the groceries this arvo so will make a list to take with me....on top of the family grocery list!

[Cassius2]

man i am constantly ravenous! and like one poster said it HURTS! i wake up in the middle of the night so so hungry that i am not sure if it is painful or morning sickness or hunger...usually it is the latter lol.

i live on sustagen ATM and vegemite on toast with heaps of butter...mmmmm. also have taken quite a shine to BBQ shapes. can polish off a packet in one sitting.

gosh, i am SO HUNGRY.

[Peg]
