First attempt at "food" oikos Greek yogurt (blueberry on the bottom) 8g protein in one little cup (anyone have any feedback on the subject)

Highest weight 450lbs, current weight 220lbs! IUD went MIA and here we are. Having a phenomenally HORRIBLE go of it. The only time I am not quesy is when I am asleep, can't keep pills down, dehydrated...so worried about my choice to continue on...potential risk of harm to baby and self :'( Also have moderate-severe fibromyalgia and am now in a wheelchair since becoming pregnant. Anyone else have a rough go with POSITIVE results? Hints? Help!

LOL my lil one is only three, and second isn't due till Jan...so she is still lead tormentor, but one day her friends will think i'm cool and that'll be torture enough haha

AGREED!

Did anyone else STRUGGLE with dehydration and blood pressure (too low)

HI there! First, no, I never really drank alcohol after the surgery (had a daughter in 2009 and pretty much haven't drank since!) HOWEVER I do find myself slipping with soda pop, and other no-no's. I am currently 4m pregnant so the cravings can be SUPER intense and I have also come to be in a wheelchair for the time being, rendering me basically stagnant exercise wise. My only real advice is to remember how miserable life was before and DURING the surgery! After all that hard work and dedication you have to honor YOURSELF and make these changes PERMANENT! Otherwise whta was the piont!? (Plus, I REALLY love all my new cute clothes!!)

Oh yes of course! I am still being seen by the Weight Management Clinic and have a specialist with the High Risk OB/GYN unit at the same hospital. I guess I am hping for any day to day tips/tricks/advice. I am in a mild depression due to my failing physical health and the stress is just the WORST! I have tried flat sugar free gingerale and soda crackers but that does NOTHING to combat the INSANE nausea

Wow thank you!

Thank you so much!!
