    Hello...I'm 2 yrs post gastric bypass and 5 months pregnant and have been having some bad upper abdominal pain that starts right under the center if my breasts and radiates on both sides...I've been to ER twice and both times they found nothing ....the last time he gave me Maalox and said possible Gerd or ulcer ....I have an appt with ob tomorrow. ..I mentioned it at my last appt because it had happened one time prior and she said everything looked good not to worry but now it's happened at least 7 times and it gets bad but then goes away ...any ideas???

    Had my 6 month appointment today. Bloodwork is fine' date=' just need to cut down on B12 as it was too high. Otherwise I have done great with Vitamins. Weight was at 226 which is down 114 total and 77 from surgery. He said im at 67% of my excess weight gone! So they are very happy at my overall and said I am better than average for loss. Doesnt feel that way to me but I guess we go with the statistics! ;)

    I was thinking about it after I posted yesterday. The little bit we eat wont be the 36 grams of carbs! Five or so bites would probably fill you up and you need some carbs in your diet. If you try it let us know how it is!

    Ok here are some pics of the box I'm not so sure the difference in carbs active carbs etc lol

    I wanted to try it as well. Pasta was one of my downfalls so I am afraid to try it. I ahve had a little Pasta since surgery' date=' I mean bites, and it doesnt sit well though. It is supposed to be ok carb wise.

    Ok I jusg checked and there are 41 carbs minus the 5 Fiber. So 36 carbs. Way too much. I suppose it is lower carb compared to regular pasta but not nearly low enough for us![/quote']

    Rice is more my pitfall and I haven't even had a grain lol but I was thinking of starting to use the dreamfields for ny husband and daughter too so thought maybe a spoonful would be ok lol

    Well here is my update. I finally feel emotionally ready to share it with u guys. I found out at my appt Mon that I have lost the babies. It was probably the worst day of my entire life. I can't even put words to how the last few days have been. I had hope to be able to pass them naturally and that has not happened..and my dr told me could possibly be more difficult at 10 weeks. I go today for my d&c. It's definitely not what I wanted or even planned. I'm finally in a phase I'm starting to feel some what better and can hold my head up without crying nonstop. I've basically avoided all of my friends and even my family. I just couldn't handle the pity and words they would feel they were obligated to tell me. It makes no sense to me and I don't think it ever will. It's so hard to come from 2 babies and seeing tiny heartbeat to having nothing. At this point I'm just wanting to work through my grief. There will be no more babies as my husband and I just don't feel we can do this again. This is our 2nd miscarriage together and my 4th total. It's hard to swallow a crackhead can do it' date=' a 14year old girl can do it..and so many other that don't want their children or the ones who abuse them. I have no answers and it hurts to even think about it too much.

    At this point I'm trying to do as my husband keeps suggesting and focus in on the positive. It's hard to see and feel right now but there is some there. I do have a beautiful and wonderful 10year old who is the light of my life and I have love of a wonderful man. I want to try to focus in more on myself. Continue this journey I started and try to max it out to the most. That's all I want right now...to feel ok. I want to thank y'all for all the love and support. You guys are the most amazing friends I could ask for. I will try to get back in touch with u guys when this is all over. If u have a moment and time for a extra prayer..I could really use it today.[/quote']

    I don't know what to say except my prayers are with you and your husband ....wishing you peace and strength {{{{hugs}}}}

    Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all are doing well.

    I am still fluctuating back and forth between the same 3 lbs everyday. I broke it and went down to 229 but went back up to 232 and keep going back and forth. Am going with all liquids today to try to break the stall. Wish I could exercise as im sure that would help!

    Found out the surgeon that was going to do my back surgery is now out of network for my insurance so today I am trying to find someone else. Means starting over and hoping I can find a surgeon who will help. I am so sick of this and frustrated beyond belief. If nothing else I'll stay with the same surgeon and pay the 30%. Would be alot of money after a big major surgery but would have to do monthly payments' date=' probably for the rest of my life! Fingers crossed that I can find someone else to help![/quote']

    I seem to have that happen too...I lose a few lbs then gain a lb then go a few days/week and then lose 2lbs soooo frustrating ...hope u break your stall....and good luck with your back ill keep u in my prayers

    Ok my friends..after what was possibly the worst and lowest 10days of my life I have news. They were able to find a baby today and a heart beat!!!! It's a miracle!! Not only that they found another sac! Twins!!!! They can't tell me much of anything about baby b. Apparently my uterus is so badly tilted they can't see anything really or even if the baby is developing in there. After all the pain and stress of the last week and seeing just how God is in

    Control I cant give up! I am praying God is going to take care of baby b! I'm overwhelmed a bit I think. Just knowing there is life in there where as a week ago they gave me pretty much no hope!! I thank God I listened to my heart and body and didn't go and do the d&c he wanted me to do on fri. I know He is able and I am trusting and believing. While my husb is so happy we know we have one baby with a little beating heart in there he is shocked speechless. He could only say he just doesn't understand how last week was a ghost town and this week there's 2! I have no idea how I can support 2 babies as I can barely eat or keep much down right now but I am not going to get as concerned about this part just yet. I just know miracles happen! Thank u all for the love and support u have shown me!

    Omg soooo happy for you!!!!

    Hi friends

    Quick question' date=' according to your doc, how much Protein should you get in about now daily?

    And then, how much do you actually manage?

    I think mine is too little perhaps. My weightloss is very slow now. Lucky if it's a pound a week. How are you doing? I need to know I am going crazy![/quote']

    Mine says 60-80 and tbh I don't track it ..I know I always have a shake for Breakfast which is 27g Protein and then between lunch and dinner I get the rest
