Update
That is weird, I would be happy with that. Maybe it is the OJ, because OJ usually gets me going. Maybe if I do start to get constipated I will start taking mine with OJ. Is the Anemia just because of the pregnancy? I didn't ask, I know I have heard of a lot of WLS people being anemic, so I wasn't sure if this was something that would continue after the baby?

Mine is just because of the pregnancy (although I have always tended toward anemia). I don't dump because I have a band, so I wouldn't think the OJ would be the thing to get me going, but maybe after the baby comes I'll have to experiment and figure out whether it's the pills or the OJ! I am getting really good OJ (Odwalla, with pulp) so maybe that extra little bit of fiber helps.

Sorry about the anemia, though I am right there with you. Mine was due to PG. Thanks to Andrea, I take carbonyl iron from VitaLady.com (I think that's the site, but if you're interested, I will check and PM details). Anyway, I'm on a double dosage and the former queen of constipation. These are chewable, virtually tasteless and they don't constipate. I've tried all the OTC iron pills and these are the best so far.
Oh yeah, my secret PG trick for constipation was eating 4 SF Twizzlers. It made my mouth AND my digestive system happy.
Good luck!

Try Activia fiber yogurt. I'm pretty regular, but I had a coupon for it and I love yogurt. It works VERY well. So well that I thought I was getting a stomach virus or something. Next time I get constipated I'm trying that. It has cereal in it. I'm not for sure how much sugar it has in it, so you may want to look before you buy it to make sure you won't dump.
I can't believe Zoe is going to be a big sister! If Hannah doesn't start sleeping through the night she's going to be an only child lol!

Are you still breast feeding? I breast fed my son for the first year and as soon as I stopped he slept through the night...If I had only knew 6 months sooner.
Come on Hannah let mom get some sleep so mom has the energy to make you a big sister

I weaned her from breastfeeding in January. I think she is just spoiled! I don't have the heart to let her cry it out. Right now she is in our bedroom due to remodeling her room (and the rest of the house pretty much). I'm a very light sleeper and I hear everytime she wiggles her big toe. She's a light sleeper to, so when me or hubby roll over it wakes her up too. Hopefully in a few more weeks we will have her room ready!
My mom says my older brother didn't sleep through the night until he was four. It's a miracle she ever got pregnant with me!
