I am 15 weeks and I’ve lost 13 pounds already. My pregnancy with my daughter I lost a total of 20 pounds. I try to eat, but I either have no appetite, despite feeling hungry, or get full too fast. 
Any ideas?

I lost a stone and a half with both my son and daughter. Only gained there birth weight in the end. This one is on track for the same already lost 16lbs

Answer

Smoothies. I do lots of smoothies. I struggle to gain weight normally so I have to really up my calorie in take during pregnancy. I’m 15 weeks and once gained 3 pounds but also lost a few early on too 🤦‍♀️ make sure you’re getting enough nutrients. Even if you can’t eat a lot, make sure that what you do it is good food. And don’t forget vitamins

Answer

I’ve had trouble gaining weight before. The key is to eat what you can of nutritionally dense foods. For example, if you can only eat a few bites, go for a handful of almonds, not crackers.
Also, the miracle for me was drinking my calories. Boost, Ensure, or other weight gain drinks. I froze them and ate them as ice chips allll day. Two can replace a meal, and they are only 6-8oz.

Answer

Have you tried eat small portions more often?

Answer

How about drinks? Can you manage drinking protein type drinks? Some have big calories and protein.

Answer

More importantly, what’s your BMI? If you were overweight before pregnancy, losing weight now isn’t a big deal. I started with a normal BMI and am technically under weight now that I’ve lost 7lbs or so (currently 15 weeks also). My doctor isn’t concerned. She said baby takes what it needs and you get the leftovers. She said as long as you’re taking your prenatal don’t worry about weight gain. You will catch up.
