I love food again!!!

You all know food was a big struggle for me this pregnancy. I know some of you had it worse, no hyperemesis here, but definite food struggles the whole pregnancy.

Well, since Piper was born I'm suddenly craving anything and everything! Food is just a wonderful thing again! Today we had a Thanksgiving party at dd1's school with a huge buffet. For the first time in 9 months I was able to fully enjoy the food and not think about what was in it or feel like a super picky eater. It was awesome! I filled my plate and ate every bite! Mmmm.... And I haven't had to take any medicine since her birth (was on daily drugs to be able to eat and not throw up throughout entire pregnancy). It's so nice. Just had to share.

Glad that you are enjoying your nonpregnant state! I can hear again and haven't had anymore dizzy spells and have been sleeping on my back! It's the little things, really...

I feel for you! I am so dang starving all the time. It has to be the breastfeeding. Middle the night feedings and changing diapers are all the better because I can get up and get a snack for me! hehehehehe I keep telling friends that I am going to get so fat so fast eating like this! It is amazing how much better my tummy is now that baby is at breast. It is a joy!

That's Awesome!!! I have noticed immediately that food is good again (so good!) and that things don't make me feel sick anymore. BLISS!

I'm so in love with food again, but afraid of gaining or even staying at this weight. I want to lose weight. Really not fair that I would gain 33 lbs even though I didn't enjoy food at all this pregnancy, and now that I love it again, I need to start losing weight. I had a fresh herb salad with raspberry vinaigrette this evening. Mmmm.... I can tell you for sure, I wouldn't have enjoyed it a week ago, not only because I couldn't stomach green salads, but because the vinaigrette had lots of garlic in it which was something I couldn't stand this whole pregnancy. Now I hardly notice it. Woohoo!!!
