Weight gain.. Help?!

Question

This is my first pregnancy. I am almost at 24 weeks with a baby girl and I have already gained over 30 lbs.. I left my appointment in tears Thursday because my doctor was yelling at me for it. I've been under an incredible amount of stress and haven't intentionally been eating more. I just don't feel full. 
Does anyone know any recipes or meals to eat that could possibly help curb this ridiculous appetite? 
Any simple exercises would be greatly appreciated as well.. Thank you.

Answer

I've gained 60 lbs and I'm due the 18th of this month. I've never been this big in my life, my knees hurt and my body is full of fluid...this is my first pregnancy and this is not what i expected lol

Answer

I'm almost 22 weeks and I've gained 13lbs. I just eat a good breakfast, lunch and dinner, drink lots of water (I don't drink anything besides water) and I don't usually snack in between meals but if I do it is fruit, veggies or occasionally nuts. I eat whatever and as much as I want for my three meals. i also try to get in plenty of fiber and take colace every few days. I generally don't eat after dinner unless I'm absolutely starving- then I'll eat a banana.

Answer

Make sure you eat fat and protein with the meal - it keeps you fuller. Things like avocado, olive oil, coconut oil, and meat, eggs, chicken, etc. carbs keep you hungry and contribute most to weight gain

Answer

I drink a lot of cold water. Especially when I feel gungry, it helps curb it. Also don't let yourself eat after midnight. I always get those hunger pangs around 130/2am... no reason to be eating that early. Stay away from sweets/junk food/soda. Also walk walk walk!

Answer

I was overweight already with my first and gained 45lbs. Never got yelled at, I seemed more concerned than my doc. Baby was measuring fine, healthy. Sounds like your docs a bit unprofessional if they're 'yelling' at you. Hopefully that was an exaggeration.

Answer

With my first, I gained a lot. Probably 50 total. This time so far I've gained only 11 and I'm 27 weeks but I started a little heavier this time. I'd say to watch the carbs, you'll have more energy and you'll probably drop some of the weight. There are so many recipes and subs for them! Like pasta is my downfall but my new healthier zucchini pasta tastes just as good :) also eat smaller more frequent meals and that'll really help
