I'm excited to give this a try soon! Also, about the Vitamix...I'm ready to make the big purchase and wondering what model you have. Want to make sure it blends those skins and seeds completely. Hoping I can add in some greens that will digest well too. Crystal,

I have had GP for 2 years now, and am currently 6 months pregnant. My first trimester was the worst time of my life, throwing up non stop and not eating anything but cheerios for months. My first two pregnancies were pre-GP and I was barely sick during them. I figured due to my GP the whole pregnancy would be that way, but once I hit about 14 weeks I started to feel fantastic. Almost "normal" again. I still feel great at months and can honestly eat almost anything and still feel great. I have to stay away from hard uncooked fruits and vegies (appples, carrots, etc...) but other than that I haven't felt this good since before GP two years ago :) Really hoping this continues after baby too....

I was a little worried about the fructose since I also do low FODMAPS but that didn't seem to be an issue. Sadly, I found the vanilla flavor to be unappetizing, similar to the vanilla Nutrabiotic rice protein powder (I use plain rice protein powder now); could b just me, but it reminds me of medicine I had to take as a child. I will try the chocolate flavor and see if that tastes better, because it would great to have a more complete protein powder for my morning cereal that is less gritty than the Nutrabiotic.

I am so happy for you. And so thankful to have found you. You have helped me refocus on myself and my condition and not push it aside and ignore it as I have done in the past. It has made me realize this is a condition I should take seriously, even if no one else understands or wants to hear about what I can't eat or shouldn't do . . . .so a big, heartfelt thank you! And I hope you have a wonderful pregnancy experience! HUGS!! Aww, Congratulations! I am so happy for you. And so thankful to have found you.

Amazingly pregnancy and nursing did wonders for my gastroparesis. I was probably the healthiest I'd ever been. I was so scared, how could I possibly handle the needs of a baby when I was constantly nauseated/feeling miserable. I even asked my gi doc of my gp could be hormonally triggered... I do still have flare-ups, and it was hard to tell at the beginning whether I was experiencing morning sickness or gp symptoms. I will say the most difficult part for me has been watching my girls eat more than me. I mean how many 1 and 4 year olds out eat their mother? Again, congratulations to you. Following your journey has been so helpful for me, if ever I can reciprocate, please feel free to email me. Wonderful news :) Wishing you all the best!

I'm so glad to have found you and others living well with gastroparesis since I struggled alone for so long. Best of luck to you during your pregnancy. I was pregnant before my pacemaker was placed, so I'm curious to see how the pacemaker affects your pregnancy. Take care, Malinda CONGRATULATIONS! :-)
