The Raw Truth from the start

[lolalou]

Hi Mimi,

I'm still ok I had my twelve week scan yesterday (even though I'm only 10 weeks) but baby was having a good wriggle about, kicking its legs and having a stretch so all is well and I'm trying to relax and enjoy Xmas! But I'm v lucky to be having another scan in three weeks! So excited!
Strangely I never had any restriction since having the band, could pretty much eat anything and a full plate of it, as soon as I got the fill removed my pregnancy hormones have messed with the band and I'm struggling to eat things now! Bread gets stuck, pitta bread, potato, I need to try to take smaller bites. Really strange. I've had no morning sickness but I've been sick a few times because of food getting stuck.
Hope everyone here is keeping well and having success after their ops. And hope housetraining your puppy wasn't too painful Mimi x

Hi Lola great to hear things are going well.poppy is doing well she goes on her paper or outside so not to much drama.
Iv been sick a few times its horrible cause u can feel the food just sitting there not moving and then having to make yourself sick.

 

[lolalou]

I was away with work in a restaurant and my food got stuck I went and was sick and when I come back they had took away my food and drink! Lol. Not a nice feeling.

 

[mimi42]

My weight has gone up and down over the last few weeks.with Christmas coming I'm not going to worry to much but come 27th, that's it back to the grind.

 

[mimi42]

Why are we not aloud fizzy drinks?

 

[JO28172]

You can if you stir the bubbles out but trust me...try drinking a fresh can of cola...ouch! Only a couple of sips and it kills you, the bubbles cause you to burp like you never have and that's if you're lucky, they can also create a kind of air blockage and then if you can't burp it out its so uncomfortable! Not nice at all. but, stir out the fizz and its ok!!! Just from a health perspective don't make it a habit because as we know fizzy pop erodes coins so imagine your inners!!

 

[mimi42]

Merry Christmas everyone.

 

[mimi42]

iv started on the treadmill today

 

[lolalou]

Aww bless!! Hope you've had a nice Xmas. I got so much chocolate :-/ and randomly two bottles of wine and a bottle of baileys from people who know I'm pregnant!! I'm figuring I can eat more calories as I'm not drinking the calories I normally would at Xmas! Lol. I'm trying to get out more dog walking got too easy letting the other half take her while I potter in the house but we had a huge walk this morning and I felt better for it. Start aqua natal next year too. Can't wait!

 

[mimi42]

Hi Lola glad to hear from u how r things going.
Hope you had a good Christmas.
Have any of your previous pregnancies gone this far before?
Just wondered if you were past dodgy point yet.

 

[lolalou]

Hi mimi I'm good thanks, I'm 12 weeks tomorrow and have never been this far before!! Had my scan two weeks ago and all was great but my mind will be put further at ease next week when we have another scan feeling more confident with every week that passes. This may well turn out to be a great new year for us. Best money I've ever spent! Even though all in all I've only lost a stone and a half now :-/ I had this operation so I could start a family. Ill have to get back on it once baby is here. (And all the Xmas
Chocolate has been eaten!)

 

[mimi42]

That's good news .Christmas chocolate what a downfall that is, must get motivated just fell very tired lately and I'm really worried about getting this winter vomiting bug.we can't be violently sick it may move the band.

 

[girlygirl1]

I was given lots of lovely boxed chocolates LOL - despite everyone knowing I am trying to avoid sugar! I would imagine most people here were given unsuitable gifts but hey, just put them aside for some future date - or give them away.

All the very best to you and yours for 2013 x

 

[lolalou]

I've had my band emptied but I'm still nervous every time I'm sick :-/

 

[mimi42]

Stayed 14.4 this week .I'm having a fill on the 17th so hopefully that will help me get down into the 13s iv been hovering around this weight for three months now I'm sick of it.
Hope everyone had a good new year and r back to the treadmill routine.
New year,new start.

 

[lolalou]

Hi mimi. Glad you survived the in laws visit! Good luck with your next fill. I have no idea how many fills I will need after I have the baby as my band is empty now but I've got restriction?!?!!! Wierd. Had another scan a couple of days ago and all is well. Still nervous but as each week passes I get more hopeful all will stay well. I'm 13 weeks now. I'm dreading seeing what happens with my port site when the baby stretches everything and starts kicking it!! Ouch! Hope you had a lovely new year. You've done so amazing in just six months mimi! I'm now only one stone lighter than when I had the op :-( but happy to have achieved my biggest goal x

 

[mimi42]

Hi Lola very very happy new year to u.
Would not give a flying fig about only losing a stone look what your getting instead so worth it babe.so happy everything is going well please keep me informed.when that baby starts kicking, you will feel such uforia you won't feel the pain (not for awhile anyway).
Actually had a wonderful weekend with my brother and his family, really nice.

 

[lolalou]

That's great, glad you had a nice weekend. I'm looking forward to the lighter nights. Need to get out walking!!

 

[mimi42]

Took poppy on her first walk in the woods.
She wasn't happy,kept jumping up at my legs wanting to be picked up.bless her.

 

[mimi42]
