Baby..oh Baby!!

I am doing ok! I have become very sensitive to a lot of milk products but I can seem to drink the powder Syntrax 5.0 Protein Powder mixed with Water. No morning sickness so I am very lucky there. Will be going in fro my appointment on Tuesday. I found that if I just graze through the day I can get more calories in. Thanks everyone for your support.

I don't know why they told you to stay away from the Protein shakes, but I could guess on a couple reasons. Most of them are loaded with artificial sweetners. A recent article in Consumer Reports suggested that many of them are contaminated with heavy metals that are toxic as well.

I did not want to lose weight too quickly after surgery (primarily because I think you lose a lot of muscle mass and less fat if you lose too quickly), and my doctor told me I could drink Ensure. Ask your doctor about the liquid meal supplements like Ensure and Boost (puddings as well) that are higher in carbs/calories and that are designed to promote weight gain or provide adequate nutrition to people who are having problems eating. My guess is that those would help you get in enough extra calories and carbs to slow your weight loss.

Also, plan for foods that are calorie dense. Those will usually be higher fat foods like Tiffy mentioned Peanut Butter and cheese.

Congrats on the baby! Eventually after I lose all the weight and atleast 18 months from now, we are going to try to have baby #2 also. My surgeon and OBGYN said it would be no problem.

Good Luck with everything!
