Carbs will make your blood sugar rise then fall with hypoglycemia.  You need to eat protein and fats with carbs.  To bring it up when/if it drops protein/fat/carb combo seems to work pretty well.  I've only had it a handful of times but have found for me peanut butter crackers work quicker than anything else I've tried.   You do not want to eat sugar to raise it quick then you get in the high/low cycle.

Sorry about the MSRA, hope you can get a handle on that soon.

I drink their Iced Coffee.  I don't care for the SF Vanilla it taste bitter to me.  This is how I order mine:

Iced Coffee

NO LIQUID SUGAR - yes it has liquid sugar in it

Add 2 SPLENDA

Light on Cream

I don't know what the calorie count is.  IMO they add entirely too much cream if I don't tell them to go light on the cream. 

I'll also chime in with HALA.  If you are still considered morbidly obese then a revision may be your best choice to lose 100 lbs.  You can watch your intake and exercise which is MUCH easier than before WLS; however, I can understand how difficult and overwhelming it can be to say "I need to lose 100 lbs".

Good luck in whatever you choose to do.

I agree with Lori you were beautiful before now you glow!  Congrats you are doing awesome!

He's probably waiting to see if liquids cause you too many problems.  Not being able to get liquids through could very well be a stricture.  An EDG would tell him if you have one. 

Did you eat something different?  Anything get stuck?  Hopefully you just aggravated your pouch and it'll be better tomorrow.  Since it started yesterday (with no prior problems), I recommend a soft diet for a day or two and see how you feel.

Of course if the pain becomes serious, don't hesitate to go to the ER.

I buy my multi, B-12, B-complex, B-6 (I was low add to add extra) at CVS, Kroger or where I can get them usually buy one get one free.  I buy my calcium, iron and vitamin D from Vitalady.  Occasionally, I'll buy Citrical Petite for my calcium locally but the ones I get from her has magnesium in them which helps me and they are capsule so easier to get in, for me.

She's recently lowered her shipping cost, which helps a lot.

Yummy Diet Coke, lol I'm kidding I do drink one occasionally.  Hope the procedures goes well.

When I got my labs (and my iron was OK but trending downward) I had had infusions about 15 months prior my PCP wasn't concerned because my ferritin was in range.  I looked up providers on my insurance and made an appt to see a hematologist.  He looked at my labs and said yes I needed infusions at the time BEFORE it became deficient again.  There was definitely a trend downward and not slow either.

I did voice my concern to be sure it wouldn't be a problem with my insurance.  He didn't think so and said he was prepared to argue why he chose to do them now (FTR I had the past 5 years of labs printed out and gave to him). 

I hope you can get in to see someone soon.  How do you feel?

Congrats!  I also recommend reading the pregnancy board.  You also want to have your surgeon work with your OB/GYN on labs; you will need to eat a well-balanced diet and be sure to supplement appropriately. 

Call and schedule labs soon, be sure to find out what your folate is and supplement as needed.

It's actually a good thought.  For me I do believe more protein works best and keeps me satisfied longer; however, I don't worry near as much now if I'm eating a magic number in protein.  I try to get at least 70 grams (for no other reason than I want to) and I do try to eat more veggies and fruit. 

I don't seem to eat much fruit though, although I like it it's usually my last choice after protein and veggies (which I love pretty much any veggie) and the space available for fruit just isn't there.

Like Kim said, I believe the 100 grams of protein is basically the thought that it's dense and will keep you full longer so you don't have room for excessive snacking or grazing. 

Vitamin K, E and iron deficiency anemia would be the ones I'd check for deficiencies.  Most surgeons do not have Vitamin E & K on their normal required draws, you will have to ASK or DEMAND these be pulled.  Both are oil based vitamins and although it's more common for DSers to need to supplement additionally with this it isn't totally uncommon for RNYers to need them too.
