Dear hix,

It is always good to see you post.

I couldn't quite understand from your post, if you had trouble eating enough

or too much. Diet is definitely an individual situation. What works for me

one day may or may not work for me the next. I can eat dairy fine, where a

lot of people cannot do that. I need the yogurt for acidophyllis, calcium,

and protein. I get the fat free kind. I try and avoid the commercial brands

like Yoplait, because it has too much sugar.

Regarding sugar, I feel like it puts too much strain on the pancreas to have

additional sugar in the diet. There is enough natural glucose in foods I

don't like consuming extra. In particular, I am working hard to avoid

consuming high fructose corn syrup. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to

avoid. It is in everything. Everything. Bread, crackers, cereal, yogurt,

everything except fresh fruit. All canned fruit mostly has it.

I think I will put out a poll on weight. I was glad to find out that I wasn't

the only one gaining more weight the less I ate. It seems that the body goes

into starvation mode and won't metabolize anything. I am hoping that if I can

achieve glycemic control, my weight will stabilize.

Hi Ginny and everyone,

In regards to helping gain weight, Floyd drinks Carnation instant breakfast

mixed with 2% milk to increase the calories without adding a large amount of

fat. He did not like the taste of the ensure or boost drinks. He will also

occasionally add some ice cream to this and make a shake out of it. He drinks

3-6 glasses of this per day and it is less expensive than the ensure drinks

and has the vitiams and such that he needs.The other suggestion I have is

many small meals during the day. Floyd will eat a small amount, then wait

for an hour or so and eat some more. He winds up eating about 6 or more small

meals each day, plus the drinks and water which he has constantly.

Hope this helps.

God Bless All

Your blood presure is not the cause. Several things can cause it. New

medications, changes in meds, then there is kidney failure, congestive heart

failure. With wls there was study done showing the effects of eatting to much

protien was causing damage to kidneys. I cant verify this as true but will ck

with hospital drs on my next paramedic shift cori

I wish my OB was as supportive about the weight issue. I know my fiance's mom

gained like 80 LOL. I am currently 1.5 yrs out from surgery and shes really

pushing that glucose test on me. I told her it may make me sick, and i asked if

i could have a blood test instead. She told me it isnt as effective so i need

to drink the stuff. UGH! Sooooooo i dunno what to do. I did however email my

surgeon and waiting to hear what he has to say about the whole thing.

Congrats on passing the test!

Hello everyone!

I will be be 29 weeks on Saturday and have gained 28 pounds to date. I just had

my 7 month check up on Tuesday and my doctor is very happy with my progress, no

worries at this time. I know I have said this before but I had really thought

that I wouldn't gain like a " normal " pregnant woman but now I have realized that

isn't the case! LOL We all are different but it has been 3.5 years since my

surgery and I can also eat more at this time, too.

I want to report that I made it through the glucose test with flying colors on

Tuesday... much better than I expected. I did it 10 years ago when I was

pregnant with my son and it was as thick as Karo syrup so I was dreading it! It

went down easy, just like drinking orange crush for me! I am just glad that it

is over... I now get to have my doctor appointments every 2 weeks, I cannot

believe how fast this pregnancy has gone!

Have a good day everyone,

I am almost 32 weeks and have gained 20 lbs. I was alittle upset at first but

now I realize that it isn't that bad considering I gained 60 lbs. with my

daughter almost 10 years ago. This pregnancy actually feels like a " normal "

pregnancy to me. Best wishes to everyone!!

EDD#2 8/2/04

Have a great day!!

Hi . This will sound nuts, but I specifically look away when

they weigh me @ the OB's. As long as docs say I'm " on target " ,

that's all I'm gonna worry about. It's too much of a 'weird'

feeling to see the #s creep up after joining the ranks of the

skinnies.
