So constipated.. Ugh! What can i take?

I am currently six months post OP and just found out i am pregnant with my second child. I'm scared that i am not getting the amount of nutrition i need to support me and baby. Should i still take my Flintstone vitamin or can i take a prenatal vitamin? My first appt with my ob is a week away. My hubby and i were being careful, but obviously not careful enough.

Sw: 356 Cw: 229 Gw: 200 I never thought i would be down 127lbs.. Then again i never thought i would ever weigh as much as i did. Congrats to my March sleevers on all your success. =)

Sw: 337 Cw: 270 Gw: ? Just Glad I can keep up with my two year old.

Any recommendations? My mom recently had the surgery as well. She was a big soda drinker and is having a hard time finding a drink she likes. I love water, always have, but she is struggling. Any suggestions aside from crystal light would be great.

Down 48 :-) my only complaint is back pain. Oh yeah and I still can't tolerate bread. That makes me kind of sad, but it could be worse.

This seems so backwards to me but I feel like my back hurts worse as I'm losing weight. It's excruciating at times. Anyone else experience this?

Me too me too =) jkfletch@verizon.net

Seven weeks out.. this has been my go to on a hectic day. Granted I can only eat half but it's so good! A small of course.

My doc said after 9 weeks it's ok to slowly introduce nuts and fresh fruits and veggies. Everyone clearly has different orders so I would check with your doc or nutritionist.

I realize everyone is different. The weekend is always the worst for me. It is just so much easier to deal during the week because I work full time, have recently started going back to school, and I have a two year old. Thank goodness he loves all the healthy food. Thank you to everyone for the encouraging words and putting my thoughts into perspective. Hoping my next post is a rave. =/

I only drink premier Protein shakes because they are the only ones that I can drink at least 75% before I feel like if I ingest anymore I will barf. Seriously. Not from the taste, or not just from the taste. I hate lunch meat when it's not mushed between a piece of bread. My diet list says I can have toast, not soft bread, but my tummy said "umm no! " haven't tried rice or Pasta even though my list says it's a green light on those. Rice and pasta? How healthy can that be and do I even wanna try it after toast hurt me so bad? Eh no! Not trying to sway anyone not to get it. It's great for some people.. I know I will be successful with it because I'm literally too afraid to eat anything even close to being bad for me. But these feelings just keep rising. Today was just not one of my good days. Honestly I had a few bites of green Beans and a little bit of rotisserie chicken around 4pm and have been in and out of the kitchen opening the fridge and the cabinets looking for SOMETHING. I just wanna cry when I start to feel hungry.

Okay, prior to surgery I was 337lbs. I stumbled across this app while I was looking up some questions I had. I appreciate the support but it bugs me to see posts about how people were 200-250 and so fat and miserable blah blah blah. HELLOOOO try being over 300lbs. Maybe I'm just jealous that I let myself get this big before I took action. And going on 6 weeks out down 30lbs I should be so happy but from day one all I can think is what a mistake this was. I hate Greek yogurt now and cottage cheese is nasty. I can't try a salad for another 3 freaking weeks and even then what's the point because after adding salad dressing and whatever it won't be good for me anyway. I don't know what to eat. I dread meal times and snacks. Protein shakes make me wanna vomit! I just hate every part of this decision I made. I WANT FOOD!

Congrats to everyone on their progress so far. Right now I am down 30lbs and one pant size. =)
