Topic: RE: Got stuck today....
I need to figure out that trick!!! I have twin girls that are 5 and a boy that is 2. He asks for his sisters to change his diaper about half the time. They do it and it drives hubby crazy. He thinks I shouldn't let them, give me a break!! :) I'm a teacher so when I'm home this summer we will work on potty training, we had a teacher at his preschool that potty training wasn't at the top of her priority list. I'm glad to hear someone is in the same boat as me!
Topic: RE: just home from hospital... gas!!!
Walk. It'll get things moving and you can let it out the back end much easier than burping.

Topic: My Protein & Vitamins make me NAUSEAS
I am about 4 weeks out . . . . (With complications, I went back in 9 day's later for another 4½ day's)
I've tried several protein drinks and several flavors, chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and unflavored (I tried adding to soups) Every time I drink them, I get sick to my stomach!
I wait a while, then I eat the vitamin and that does the same thing!
If I consume the vitamin or protein, I can't even stay hydrated like I should, because nothing will go down and stay down after, or I feel like my stomach just has no room.
The Crystal Light fruit flavored drinks are also making me queezy, so I've been sticking to ice cold water and some iced tea.
Today for breakfast, I attempted, but then avoided the protein and did great with hydration and eating. I saved the vitamin for evening and I am not too sick to my stomach to go to sleep.
I don't want to lose my hair or become dehydrated. Has this happened to anyone and can they please give me some advise?

Topic: FREE CHEWABLE CALCIUM CITRATE----anyone in need?
FREE! Message me privately with your name and address and I'll mail them at no cost to you. Bought a couple bottles, have a full bottle and half a bottle left. They aren't that tasty and I can no longer force myself to take them...lol They are allegedly citrus flavor. They are tolerable if you take a little swig of something after you chew them up, but I prefer to swallow the pills instead. Thought maybe someone might need them, since I can't use them!
TWINLAB brand, you're gonna need 4 a day per my surgeon at least...
I also have a couple protein shake powder samples from vitalady that I will throw in because I can't use them....

Topic: RE: IM NOT EATING ANY MEAT FOR AWHILE! UGH!
Oh my goodness, I just had my first experience of "pouch grouchies"!!! It hurt so bad. I think I had taken a bite too quickly and too much and not chewed enough....whatever it was I knew immediately that this was not a good thing. I have had tuna, moist poached fish and some very moist chicken last night that I chewed really well. Tonight, the chicken "flew the coop" and now I feel a little bit better. Still hurts but not intensely.
