More Meat |

So I saw Dr. Tabsh today for a follow up. Everything is fine except I lost two pounds again between last week and this week. I have been noticing that I'm hungrier than usual. After a meal, I barely make it an hour after before I get hungry again. But because my blood sugar has me testing two hours after a meal, this forces me to have to wait. In between I have been eating sunflower seeds and cheese before I can eat an actual snack, like an apple, yogurt, or a granola bar. But I am still hungry. I'm choosing the right foods for my diet, but he says it's still not enough calories since I am both losing weight and constantly feeling hungry. He suggested I talk to the dietician again to adjust my meal plan. As of two weeks ago I entered a time of rapid growth and weight gain for me and the baby. I am suppose to put on 1-1.5 pounds a week. When he reviewed my numbers, I seem to have only gained 6.5 since the start of my second trimester. He suggested that I eat more meat with all 3 meals. I feel like my meals are fine, but the snacks aren't enough. But hopefully I will put on more weight by next week. |
