142 lbs maintained from yesterday - :)
Happy Friday everyone, well I have good news, i want everyone to know that juicing veggies is awesome and going to a health food store to get ideas and supplements works. I had pureed veggies and made a soup recipe from www.CrystalRome.com yesterday with sweet potatoes and some other yummies and it stayed down, no heartburn and along with meal replacement high calorie (400 per shake) protein shakes; i was able to bump up my calories and maintain my weight for the day. 
I want to encourage you to do the same, the healthier you are the longer you can fight back and live!
I also joined a support site that is called GastroparesisPatientsgroup@yahoogroups.com, i receive daily emails of other patients and comments, some symptoms some questions.
I read one yesterday and I want to share some research information.  I recently was at my dr's office, gp, at the end of the visit she offered me pain medication, in the form of narcotics.  I went online and looked up narcotics and Gastroparesis, THEY DONT MIX!!! The study from Ohio State University stated that narcotics accelerate the progression of Gastroparesis condition symptoms and listed ones to avoid.  
So ask lots of questions, do your research and be aware of what is prescribed to you and how it affects your condition or symptoms.  
I hope everyone has a good day, enjoy your families and friends.  
Together lets fight this and find a cure!!!
Blessings,
Regina
