    Mmmmmm.....carbs and junk....miss those. Been fighting to maintain my blood sugar at a reasonable level, on the plus side I have not gained anything, just maintained a level weight.

    I did find a yummy candy that if I have just a serving of now and then it does not mess me up. They are called Unjunked Candy. OMG they are sooooooo yummy, tastes like homemade I swear

    I already gained 19 pounds!! Had my appointment yesterday and my doctor told me to take it easy on desserts and junks, I had never had any problems with weight in my life so this is very weird to me, but I do want to know more about the unjunked candy thing...where do you buy it??

    I feel like I've had a huge appetite for the past couple of weeks or so! It's such a change from the beginning when all food just sounded disgusting. I've gained 4 pounds so far, but I need to do better about not giving into junk food cravings. I know how hard it was to lose the weight after #2, so I don't want to make my task harder by gaining more than I should.

    I found the Unjunked Candy at Target.

    Doc's have not said anything about me not gaining weight, and trust me they are watching me. I go to Maternal Fetal for my GD as well as my regular OB, I am a bit overweight to begin with. Did the same thing last time with DD2, just maintained once they put me on the diabetic diet in the beginning. I actually have 3 appointments this week, Ultrasound tomorrow to do measurements, reg Ob visit right after that, then to Maternal Fetal on Friday.

    That's roughly what I have gained, and my doc told me thursday that apparently I've gained more than they'd like! I told her I really wasn't worried about it lol....

    You are not fat!!
    I think the reason I've gained only 4 is because food sounded so gross to me until a few weeks ago. I wasn't throwing up all the time or anything, but I didn't have much of an appetite because I had so many food aversions. Plus, I had a bout with bronchitis that took my appetite away even further.
    With how much I am eating now, I am kinda scared to see how much I've gained at my next appointment!

    I tried a candy called Unreal http://getunreal.com/ It was pretty good and no perservatives or HFC.
    I have gained just about 13 pounds. 4.5 of those were in the last few weeks. No one said anything to me. i am just over 22 weeks. But for the longest time, I could only eat a small amount at each setting. Now I am eating more like normal but only getting carbs and junk down.
