Some pregnancy w/ Bypass surgery questions

[Guest guest]

Hi, I am not new to the group but this is only the 2nd time I have

posted a message. My first was 5 months ago when I found out I was

pregnant and i was in a total panic. I am much calmer these days

although I have new concerns. I have lost 10 lbs since I found out I

was pregnant (I'm 21 weeks) and stayed steady at my current weight

for the last 3 months. Which is fine by me, as long as I am not

gaining. What concerns me is I get scared when I eat. Afraid that I

am eating too much. Or that after the baby I won't be able to go back

to not eating as much as I am for the baby. Now realistically I now I

am still not eating " ALOT " but I feel like I am. Since I had my

surgery I never felt hungry. Now I feel like I want to eat all day.

And everyone tells me to eat for the baby but sometimes I feel like

it's too much. My portions are still small, and always healthy, but I

m still so scared. Do I make sense? It's so hard to explain. I want

to eat right for the baby but in the same turn I don't want to have

had the surgery for nothing. I started at 450lbs when I had my

surgery in March of 2003 and I am down to 270lbs, and holding steady.

Will I lose more after the baby? WIll I gain because I have gotten so

used to eating again? Can anyone shed some light?

Thanks,
