I agree that it sounds like dehydration. This can lead to electrolyte imbalances and other serious problems. Are you using those little medicine cups? I found it hard to get enough with them but glasses just work better. Please take care of yourself!

As long as you do it once per calendar month you are fine. For example I had an appointment in the first week of may and last week of June do like 7 weeks apart but still it's fine.

Congratulations! This is certainly an exciting year for you! It sounds like you are already doing the right things by getting early prenatal care. Obviously you will have to work really hard to get protein, vitamins, folate, calcium, and water - but healthy little twins are the perfect motivation!! Take care of yourself and enjoy this magical time, babies are such a blessing!

Welcome! This is such a wonderful resource!

Thanks everyone. She was going to take my kids to the beach this week so I planned on having it a little easier for my second post op week. But I am actually really glad that they are home with me for some quality time. One thing that has made it easier is this site/app. I've stayed off Facebook so I don't see her on there (we went to hs together so have lots of mutual friends). Life will go on!

I agree with all the others! Maybe in the meantime talk to your family doctor about an antidepressant or go to a support group... It will only make you more squared away and show that you seriously want to do well when you go back or go to a new doctor. Good luck!

I've heard mixing the fuzzy navel with crystal light is good. How long does it take you to drink an 8 oz shake? Right now that would take me all morning!

I'm jenneliza on there as well. Love that app! It's harder to use now that my intake is so small.

I have three. Got them like 10 years ago an wouldn't mind getting another jus don't know what! I have my tragus and lives pierced twice. Can't really do anything else bc of my job

Opurity chicken soup flavored protein. Mix an ounce with an ounce of cream type soup or v8 soups to thin it. I bought a case of protein blitz but can't stand it. Will be doing lots of protein shakes too.

Welcome. I've only been part of this group or a few weeks and can tell you that everyone here is so amazing. Nice, supportive, genuine, and very open. You can talk about ANYTHING with this group of folks!

York pa. 2 hours west of Philly.

Wow congrats!

Thanks can't wait to make some!

Good luck you sound very prepared! I would love the recipe if you are willing to share. I was a little hungry during the first day or two of liquid preop but once you go into ketosis, that will stop. I threw some instant coffee in my morning shake with a little Starbucks sugar free syrup which made it much more satisfying. Blending the shakes with ice was more satisfying also. I found that lots of crystal light, mio, or Water and sugar free gum helped.

Can't wait to get to the dollar store now! I like gnc total lean chocolate peanut butter. It's not as sweet as others. And oh yeah! shakes in cookies and cream. Tastes like ice cream. They have it online and lots of gas stations.

I'm sorry you are going through all of this and wish you the best in this. We are here for you.

I have it but it's upper back. I thought it was because of sleeping in different positions with pillows and maybe not being supported. Feels like it needs cracked. I heard alot of the work is done in the left side...

I'm sorry. Maybe just keep hanging in there? 8 weeks is a good amount of time but maybe you are just extra resistant. Fingers crossed for you.

Oh if you have a smartphone there are apps that are great motivation. On my iPhone there is a livestrong app and one called my last cigarette. They help you track your savings and health benefits. Also good motivational quotes and pictures!

Having goals like that will help keep you successful! You will be a hottie again soon!

I stayed the same for the first 5 months and gained the last month due to trying to get that last ...(pasta, seafood, pizza etc) an ate out alot. Ins still payed for mine and approved it quickly!

Congrats! It's not easy but definitely possible and worth it.

Amazing! Congrats!

The science of nutrition has changed since we were kids and culturally you have possibly learned some dietary things that aren't considered the healthiest option (this goes for every culture). There is no shame in getting professional help to better yourself. Your hubby just isn't on board with all this change and may be scared that you will become so confident that you will cheat or leave him. He could be seeing more about himself that he doesn't like. This is no excuse for him to be a butthead either way. This seems like a wonderful and safe place to vent and talk to others for support!
