Last December, I ran a Holiday Program for a group of wonderful GPers. One of the participants posted a message on our forum that resonated so deeply with me, I asked her if I could share it on this blog. She asked to edit it for a public audience and what she sent back was…

I’m now 14 weeks pregnant and officially into my second trimester! With the first trimester behind us, I’m looking forward to sharing more about my experience as a mama-to-be who also happens to have gastroparesis.

  To spread the love this Valentine’s Day, I’ll be randomly selecting one person from my mailing list and giving them the LWWGP Self-Guided Program for free.  Here’s a review that recently came in on the program… I decided to join  the LWWGP program…because I needed to find a way I could make the new life…
