Appetite PP???

Mythica

I'm 2 weeks PP and my appetite is worse than when I was pregnant! I can never get enough to eat! I've been limiting myself because I don't want to gain a bunch of weight (I've seen women who, like me, lost a bunch of weight during pregnancy, and then gained a HUGE amount pp)... But omg, I'm so sick of being hungry all the time! ( Are any other August or other postpartum women dealing with an insane appetite?!?

I don't have a appetite but I make myself eat! Im not breasfeeding!

@snowflake I am breastfeeding (sorta)... could that be why I'm so hungry? Could the fact that I'm limiting my intake also be why I'm not producing enough?

I can eat all day long! But I'm exclusively breastfeeding my son so I need it.

remember if you are breastfeeding you need to be eating more calories. just fyi.

yes the health department told me not eating extra calories and drinking enough water could decrease my milk supply,thats when i started making myself eat.

I have no appetite at all. Today I've had a frappachino and a couple of bites of fried rice. I was breastfeeding and pumping for about a week but stopped. This having no appetite started the day I left the hospital. I have to make myself eat.

@kcike812 I know what you mean... My appetite disappeared for a little while after I left the hospital, but now it's back with a vengeance.

I had my son in July and I still have this problem, I seem like I am always hungry or I get hungry fast

I have a small appetite now. I can't eat nearly as much as I could when I was pregnant. I just ate 3 small slices of pizza, which when I was pregnant, I could have eaten no problem, and now I feel like I'm gonna be sick
