Preface, those of you who know me on Facebook please don't say anything, not telling my real life folks just yet.

We've been tracking my ovulation for 2 months to try to plan for a girl (long story). I have not ovulated according to tests.

I got to the end of a clearblue ovulation kit pack and it comes with a pregnancy test, so I took it for fun.

Well, that and I had my tell-tale sign I had from my first band baby, ridiculous tightness in the band and can't get food down.

Sure enough, I'm pregnant again!

Hopin' for a girl this time!

Due 2/14/11.

Congratulations!

Fairy... I never posted much on here but I followed your last pregnancy. My band baby was born in October. I have just got back down to the weight I was before I got pregnant. (not the low weight of my pregnancy since I lost 20 pounds at the beginning of my pregnancy.) It has been a bit harder since I had the baby... but I am getting back on track. I hate that I lost 15 months... but it is all good.

Good luck with this pregnancy. I hope all is well.

Thanks! I gained way too much during pregnancy, but my band did break halfway through the pregnancy, and I had no self-control. I was up to 285lb when I left the hospital with baby in my arms.. I'm down to 256lb and have stayed there for a couple months now. I was hoping to lose some more before baby #2, but I am DETERMINED not to gain... 73lb?! again. I'm not doing the unfill thing, and just fingers crossed the band doesn't break. My doc said it wasn't related, but I know Carson kicked in the area that broke a lot. Doc still said not possible unless he was actually in my chest or something. I dunno. I'm just hoping he is right so I don't have to go through it again!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
