Salads are my friend I can not seem to get enough of them.

Have been craving them myself. Went and bought all the fixings yesterday and will be making a big salad today!

Have had lots of salad myself lately...but have noticed it causes me much intestinal distress....horrible painful gas pains. Trying to not have any this week to see if that's actually been the cause. Will miss it though.

I want salad too! I think I'm too strict on my food choices. I can't eat enough to get enough Protein AND have salad. I pretty much eat yogurt, Babybel, Jerky, fish, shrimp and chicken. Maybe a bite or two of veggies. I don't eat Pasta, rice or bread. I dis eat about 2 oz of potato last week. Hmmmm....the sad thing is.....I'm normally the person who eats their vegetables first! Besides fish/seafood...I don't really like meat at all.

Some are great and some I don't care for. I got a variety pack from Amazon and weeded the bad out.

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!!! I am soo excited for you!! I didn't even finish reading your post but had to respond! I had been told I had a blighted ovum twice. The first time was true. The second time I just refused to believe it and just knew inside me they were wrong. My dr wanted to do a d and c but I insisted that she wait. She even checked my hormone levels and said there was no way this was a viable pregnancy... Well she I insisted on another sonogram before any d and c as I had read online that many woman are misdiagnosed and go on to have a d and c for what was a viable pregnancy. Well sure enough there was my little baby boys heartbeat on the screen and she could not believe it! I was so overcome with joy and even told her see I knew you were wrong lol well when I read about you I prayed for you and I wanted to tell you this and to just be sure before getting a d and c but I didn't know if that would just make it worse you know?? So I said nothing but then I read this !!!! Oh how wonderful and totally goes to show God is in control. I am truly overjoyed for you!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
