[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 606335, member: 6705"] So... I gained 45 lbs when preggers with Rose. I lost 18 the day she was born (LOL), and 12 more in the next 3 months... And I've gained 14 back since January. I've scaled back on how much I am snacking, but I am ALWAYS hungry. I tried having Greek yogurt with Grape Nuts for breakfast - I can't do the texture otherwise. Or a whole-wheat bagel with olive oil spread. STILL hungry. My meals aren't big either. Well, when I scaled back and gained 4 lbs in 2 weeks - !!! Alarm bells went off, because... I also have trouble walking... Always limping... Feet hurt. I turn sideways when I start down the stairs. Carpal tunnel is back, though not as bad. I've had random whole-head headaches, not sinus or tension. Trouble breathing. Sweating profusely. But the kicker was... I started having chest pains last weekend while camping. They seemed to depend wholly upon my position, and they're more lung-area than heart. No, I'm not retaining fluid. But I was frightened by that! I need to be around for Rose. So I toddled off to see my doctor. He's awesome, been going to him for over 25 years. He sees my parents, too. (He has execrable taste in clothing - purple, gold and brown plaid shirt with same-color striped tie - made my eyes hurt.) He told me - after I showed off pictures of Rose - he thought it was likely a thyroid issue. That's what I figured, and Mom, and a bunch of friends. So then I had a blood draw. And I will find out tomorrow! (I'm bragging because I actually DID something about it.) [/QUOTE]
