FWIW. I wasn't arguing. :angelsad2: Just wanted to point out that we don't have a pouch or a stoma so that article isn't accurate for us. :shrug We have our pyloric valve to regulate our digestion and gasses will rise up in the form of burps. That's all I was saying.

Ok maybe it's my wildly fluctuating hormones....but that seemed like a bit of a snarky response, to a pretty innocent comment/opinion.

FWIW We don't have a pouch, nor do we have a stoma. We have a fully functioning teeny tiny stomach. So the article above regarding stretching of the pouch and stoma would not apply to us. And honestly the bubbles would not at all have the strength to stretch anything...we'd burp before that happened.

Thanks girls. The last couple of days have been a bit rough. No appetite and dizzy nauseous. No puking though so thats a bonus. Today I ate 3 bites of my daughters cheeseburger (she's 22 months she didn't mind LOL) and half a hot dog and some chips at the neighborhood halloween party. Not great choices, but at this point I think the 300 or so calories I actually consumed today is better than none. about halfway through the first trimester now, only more fun and excitement over the next 6 or so weeks. Hoping the Nausea becomes manageable soon Fingers crossed.

Knock me over with a feather. I don't know what this means for me.

the cause of the dizzy spells is....I'm pregnant

That is an extremely uneducated comment. Sodium is essential to life. Too much sodium is a bad thing, Too little Sodium is also a bad thing. http://www.medicinenet.com/hyponatremia/article.htm all things in moderation. That said. I don't think it's hyponatremia. I ate some fairly salty bean and bacon Soup sunday and today (home made yum yum) made with sea salt and the sodium in the bacon of course. It could be a potassium problem. I'll call my Dr. in the morning and see what they want to do.

I thought maybe I wasn't drinking enough, but the worst episode was on a day when I was sure I had drank at least 4 16oz bottles of Water. It doesn't matter when I've eaten. I was just "undiagnosed" with type 2 diabetes...my A1C is 5.3 now which is normal. It happens if I get up too fast, but not right away it's anytime between 3 steps and 20ft away from where I was sitting.

I'm having Dizzy Spells...BAD ones. Not just "Oh I'm a little woozy" But like the kind where your vision goes dark and you're sure you're going to pass out, but within a few seconds you're ok. It happened shortly after surgery for a couple of weeks and I figured it was just adjusting to the lower level of food, and maybe not being well hydrated. But it's started all over and much worse. What's going on?

The only make up I have on is some mascara and sheer lip gloss...this getting healthy business works

two sips of carbonated beverage was enough for me....My body does not like fried food.
