My husband complains to me that I never offer or share my food with him when we go out. How can I? :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-just-as-hungry-as-when-you-were-pregnant#post-263154 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 07:00:48 +0000 mediagirl 263154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm about the same as i was pregnant. I am trying to eat healthier though. When I was pregnant, all I wanted to eat was junk. I couldn't stand the look of salads. Now I crave the healthy stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-just-as-hungry-as-when-you-were-pregnant#post-263149 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 06:23:29 +0000 Ree723 263149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So much hungrier breastfeeding! I feel like I can't ever get enough food....and then I wonder why the baby weight isn't falling off yet! I just find myself constantly starving now - during pregnancy I felt like I had the munchies all the time, but now I seriously feel as though I can't get enough food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-just-as-hungry-as-when-you-were-pregnant#post-263120 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 01:40:04 +0000 littleveesmommy 263120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a beast now! I thought I ate a lot when I was preggo but now at 7 months pp and BFing, I probably rival DH in amount of food consumed. Before DD, during dinner I'd have maybe 1/3-1/2 small bowl of rice with dinner. Tonight I had the equivalent of 2+ bowls of rice with my meat and veggies (!!!). That's insane! I'm famished most of the day but I guess it makes sense as DD's caloric intake increases.</p> <p>For mommas that have weaned - did you appetite drop quickly after you stopped BF or did you have to consciously stop eating as much? I'm afraid I will still be eating this way after I wean without knowing and that would be no bueno. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-just-as-hungry-as-when-you-were-pregnant#post-263112 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 00:28:36 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 263112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So much hungrier! Especially during growth spurts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-just-as-hungry-as-when-you-were-pregnant#post-263110 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 00:13:15 +0000 HLK208 263110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So much hungier while breastfeeding. I only ate small meals while pregnant because I felt like my stomach was squished by baby and couldn't fit any food in there and I had so many food aversions, nothing tasted good. The first 3 weeks pp, I ate like 4 protein bars a day + 3 regular meals, yikes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-just-as-hungry-as-when-you-were-pregnant#post-263107 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 23:01:50 +0000 pinkcupcake 263107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Waaaay hungrier now... I feel like I'm constantly snacking all day! I need to start picking healthier options though... I've gained 5 pounds in the past two months :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-just-as-hungry-as-when-you-were-pregnant#post-262754 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 15:25:23 +0000 cranberryapple 262754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Surprisingly, I was never hungry when I was pregnant, and now, I can say the same, although since he's out of my belly, I almost feel like I have some sort of excuse to eat whatever I want, though of course I don't, I just tend to eat out of plain cravings, not cuz I NEED to eat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-just-as-hungry-as-when-you-were-pregnant#post-262705 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 14:42:50 +0000 pregnantbee 262705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So much hungrier now than when pregnant. Must keep snacks on nightstand or I won't make it through the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-just-as-hungry-as-when-you-were-pregnant#post-262701 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 14:41:28 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 262701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Way more hungry. I eat more than DH now.</p> <p>The other day we had bbqed hamburgers and salad for dinner and I wanted ANOTHER hamburger. How embarrassing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-just-as-hungry-as-when-you-were-pregnant#post-262678 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 14:27:37 +0000 littlek 262678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>More hungry!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-just-as-hungry-as-when-you-were-pregnant#post-262513 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 12:44:14 +0000 enjollah 262513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes hungry but when I was pregnant, it was more demanding when I was hungry. I needed to be fed at that very instant or else I'd be a grouch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-just-as-hungry-as-when-you-were-pregnant#post-262454 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 11:53:54 +0000 Mrs. Pen 262454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh yes, more hungry!!! :):) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-just-as-hungry-as-when-you-were-pregnant#post-262450 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 11:52:01 +0000 betsyboop 262450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought I would be because I had heard that nursing mothers have voracious appetites, but I'm by far LESS hungry than I was when I was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-just-as-hungry-as-when-you-were-pregnant#post-262441 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 11:44:18 +0000 regberadaisy 262441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate ALL the time when I was pregnant! I actually ate more than my husband and he can eat a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-just-as-hungry-as-when-you-were-pregnant#post-262439 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 11:43:24 +0000 lemondrop 262439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Way more hungry. I had to force myself to eat while pregnant, now I am constantly starving. We go out to eat a couple times a week and my husband is always amazed at how much food I order. </p> <p>It has gotten way worse now that Cam is eating more. I thought I ate a lot right after he was born, now I feel like I am always eating- otherwise I feel sick and headachey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-just-as-hungry-as-when-you-were-pregnant#post-262294 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 10:17:21 +0000 duckduckkristen 262294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Way more hungry now and I have to eat a lot to keep my supply up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-just-as-hungry-as-when-you-were-pregnant#post-262231 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 09:47:22 +0000 autumnlove 262231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>More hungry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-just-as-hungry-as-when-you-were-pregnant#post-262223 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 09:40:52 +0000 lovehoneybee 262223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually had no appetite when I was pregnant.
