I understand how you feel. It seems like I have been on a long battle to get healthy, but I am still unhappy. I am down to 177 from 295 in Dec 09, and was excited to finally start on baby #2. My daughter is 6, and I really wanted a 5 year gap. Well, excitingly enough we concieved first try in aug 2010. I was super excited. When I had my blood work done, doc said I was about 3-4 weeks preggers, when I knew it was more like 7-8. That was distressing. they kept an eye out, and a few weeks later I passed the baby. I was and am still heartbroken. My hubby has been acting weird since, always coming up with excuses to not have sex when I am o-ving... I think he is scared now. Anyway, we had our spring break two weeks ago, and did a lot of fun activities while kids were away. I had sex during my ovulation time, and am waiting for aunt flo on wednesday. So here is why I am freaked. Last time when I miscarried, I had cramping from ovulation to miscarriage. Ironically enough, the same cramping has returned, except just on the right side. Preg test said negative, but I took it early... I am afraid to be pregnant and have ectopic or miscarriage again. It is hard when the one thing you want to feel good about makes you feel terrified, crazy, and depressed.

Hello lovely ladies,

I stumbled upon this thread and was happy to read that others are obviously going through some of the things that I have. I have felt so alone about all of this, but my hubby and I started trying to conceive back in February and since then have had two early miscarriages . . and then last month I got an ovulation test and my last cycle we pinpointed a good time to try to conceive and . . 'tried'. I am now a week late so was excited that maybe we were finally pregnant but have just started spotting this afternoon and I'm devastated. I want to cry and scream and . . . oh I don't know.

I'm just very tired and emotional I suppose and I'm so exhausted after this year.

I want to try and stay positive but am finding it really hard at the moment

      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.
