Welcome to the list Patty,

My name is Jen, and am married to DH Geoff, and I have 3 children: Sky (17),

(71/2) and (5 mos). I have bf all of them, we FB, and we

wore/wear them all too. I guess I was AP long before Dr. Whathisface made

the concept a concept. Just seemed easier to vacuum with a baby strapped on

rather than listen to the howls.

Anyway, welcome again, looking forward to getting to know you

Take care and we hope to hear from you soon! S.

No, I want 3 or 4 more! But my husband has 3 daughters from a previouis

marriage who live with us, so we've pretty much reached our quota. :-) We have

the boy after all those girls, so we'll stop here. boo hoo.

Yes, I never thought I'd be pregnant and nursing but Keely isn't ready to wean

so I'm trying to learn about tandom nursing. It has good days and bad days,

mostly because of sore nipples since the second trimester started but now that

I'm in the third it's ok one day and painful the next so I'm sticking it out.

Michele

Thanks for the welcome! Have you been bfing Keely thoughout your pregnancy

with #3?

[Guest guest]

Thanks Patty! Glad to hear that this " first timer " on breastfeeding

actually knew what she was talking about. HA! So, how has it went so far

pumping out that bottle in the mornings or is back to his routine of

getting you up four times during the night?

Hi

My name is Barbara and I just joined your group (thanks for the invite, Weezie). I quit smoking cigarettes on June 15, 2001 and have gained 28 1/2 pounds. None of my clothes fit and my wedding ring is so tight it hurts my finger. Today I went to my local Weight Watchers center and signed up as a member. I'm going to attend the meetings there and I'm hoping to get more motivation from this group. I'm really afraid of failing at this. I think I'm more addicted to food than I was to cigarettes.

I noticed that you had over 4,000 messages in the month of May - I don't know if I'll be able to keep up with reading all the posts so I might have to switch to web-only. I'll try it on individual emails for now and see how it goes. I'm looking forward to reading your files and bookmarks. I've already printed out the "Article--Tips to get 5 fruits and veggies a day" that Riza posted. Thanks Riza.

Hi Maureen

I looked around at the files and bookmarks. You have some GREAT

stuff! I also looked at the challenges and I don't think I'm ready

for that yet. I just got my WW booklets today and I'm still trying

to figure out a plan for myself. I'm already feeling pressure and

stress - I create this on myself because I'm afraid to fail. I'm

already wishing someone would just plan my meals and prepare them for

me so I don't have to deal with it.

Oh, about drinking water. I have a 32 oz bottle on my desk at work

and I drink 2 of those every day. I've been doing that for a few

months now. So the water drinking won't be a problem. It's the FOOD!

Hi Barbara,

RELAX!!!! Once you get the hang of the points, it is easy. That is great about the water!!

What point range are you in? Maybe we can help you with suggestions for your meals. A lot of people post their daily journals and a lot of the recipies they have used. Do you like to cook?

Remember take it One Minute, One Hour, One Day at a time and you will be fine!!! When you are feeling stressed, just come post here. There is usually someone here that can help talk you through it.

Hi Mike,

Welcome to the group! These guys are great! I'm excited for Broc

that you are considering giving the diet a try. I believe it is

particulary promising for infantile spasms. You'll never be sorry

you tried no matter what the outcome.

My daughter, Macie, was 4 when she started the diet. She had

weaned topamax a few months before, and was on zonegran, zarontin,

and keppra. Her eating habits were horrible, she was thin and

unhealthy looking. She lived on pasta, juice, goldfish crackers, and

bananas - all nono's on the diet. She adjusted extremely well, in

fact, she is my dieting hero. My husband and I are getting ready to

start Atkins, and we don't have a fraction of the will power Macie

does! Aside from the fat, Macie eats much healthier now on the diet.

Broc just might surprise you!

Best of luck!

Mike,

My son was on depakote and topomax at age 2 and had really bad

food issues when starting the diet. It was so hard. IF it is possible for you

to wean just a tad bit to get the appetite back I would highly advise it. We

took to J Hopkins the first time we initiated the diet. He was 3

and was 19 pounds. He had lost 12 pounds from the meds. He also had texture

sensitivities and just so many food issues. He couldn;t tolerate it the first

time because the fast made his meds toxic and the anorexia got worse,

dehydration and hospitalized. We had to put weight on him so we reduced the

meds for

6 months and did it again. We found that when we reduced the meds and started

the diet the second time, it worked like a charm. we actually had to start

out Atkins because of his issues and get him used to the foods and then move

into the keto diet. had 100s of seizures everyday prior to the

diet. He had the Lennox Gastaeu diagnoses and the diet was our last resort. I

wish I would have tried it earlier. We did 6 meds and then the diet. Anyways,

he went seizure free immediately and stayed that way. We did have

breakthroughs when he would sneak food and at the end when he wasn;t getting

enough food.

Now he has a completely normal EEG and is recently weaning off the diet

since December 19. There is no words to describe how much we are so greatful

that

we did the diet ( although at the end, I was literally nauseated by the cream

and butter). The diet gave our son a chance at life. It got him off meds and

his eyes had the sparkle in them again. It is worth the time and effort IF

it works. Who know, we may be on it again if the wean is not successful.

Good luck and you are in the right hands with this list. Many knowledgeable

people here.

" I'm also very hesitant about adding casein back into their diets "

Please check out www.pecanbread.com and find out that most parents

start out dairy free. The FAQ's will be most helpful. The recipe

section is a jewel box filled with tried and tested little scd-gems.

As healing takes place, you'll see that more and more food is

tolerated, including dairy (well fermented though).
