I've always been a big water drinker but am more diligent about always refilling now and in our third week hunger has calmed down. Thank goodness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-your-appetite#post-447168 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 12:07:20 +0000 littlek 447168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm more hungry breastfeeding than I ever was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-your-appetite#post-447073 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 11:39:48 +0000 T-Mom 447073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I was so hungry that I would frequently eat 2 lunches at work. An early lunch and a late lunch! I should have probably controlled myself a little better.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-your-appetite#post-447065 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 11:36:34 +0000 DillonLion 447065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No appetite and not thirsty but I know both are important so I'm trying to drink and eat more to help with my supply </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-your-appetite#post-447046 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 11:25:35 +0000 mediagirl 447046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Especially those first three months? I was starving all the time! I swore I was going to need to attach a feed bag to myself when I went back to work!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-your-appetite#post-447038 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 11:23:15 +0000 purrpletulips 447038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm always hungry but have to watch because I am not one of the lucky women who loses weight while BF. I am starting to watch what I'm eating and focusing on healthier foods which seems to help with the always hungry thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-your-appetite#post-447028 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 11:17:35 +0000 prettylizy 447028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had no appetite for about 3 or 4 weeks PP, now I'm back to my old self! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-your-appetite#post-446978 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 11:03:51 +0000 lemondrop 446978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: exactly, forced myself to eat while pregnant, but ravenous while breastfeeding. Super thirsty too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-your-appetite#post-446835 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 09:57:50 +0000 hellobeeboston 446835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been SO hungry since coming home and breastfeeding! </p> <p>It was worse in the beginning -- the first 3 or 4 weeks I was eating all of the time, including overnight! It's tapered off since and I'm not as starving now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-your-appetite#post-446777 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 09:32:15 +0000 NerdBee 446777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to be so hungry all the time. Once I had two plates of pasta for dinner and still felt like I had eaten nothing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-your-appetite#post-446764 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 09:20:32 +0000 winniebee 446764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't hungry as often as I was while pregnant but I could PACK IT AWAY while BF. Ate HUGE meals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-your-appetite#post-446762 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 09:19:22 +0000 MamaMoose 446762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get super thirsty. It's like the second she latches on my mouth goes dry and I need water STAT. Honestly though I'm not super hungry. My first week post partum my mom and husband had to fight with me and force me to eat. I had absolutely zero interest in food. Now that I'm 2.5 weeks pp eating isn't such a chore but I do have to remind myself to do it. The good news is that I was below pre preg weight by 10 days post partum. Can't wait until I'm cleared to work out so I can tone this flab up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-your-appetite#post-446761 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 09:18:29 +0000 lemondrop 446761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those first couple months I was hungry ALL THE TIME! It has regulated though over time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-your-appetite#post-446760 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 09:16:05 +0000 hilsy85 446760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: yes, the thirst has been insane! Like if I don't have water when I need it I feel like I might pass out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-your-appetite#post-446757 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 09:12:54 +0000 rachiecakes 446757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! but even more super-thirsty, like pull-over-to-get-a-giant-Sprite-from-McD's thirsty and in normal life, that's something I would never, ever do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-your-appetite#post-446742 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 08:59:21 +0000 hilsy85 446742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's weird I thought I would be really hungry while nursing but I'm not! It's kind of nice not feeling like a bottomless pit the way I did during my third tri! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-your-appetite#post-446328 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 22:22:43 +0000 lovehoneybee 446328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my god the first weekend home I ate an entire large pizza. By myself. Those first few weeks were very "must have all the foods!!!" It was such a switch from the complete lack of appetite I had when I was pregnant. I still eat more than I ever have but it's calmed down some. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-your-appetite#post-446288 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 22:09:46 +0000 mrskc 446288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I noticed my appetite is about the same except when he's going through a growth spurt. Then I'm super hungry and thirsty all day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-your-appetite#post-446245 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 21:52:24 +0000 sarac 446245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm nursing my 15 month old on demand STILL, and she demands a LOT.
