To Baby or Not to Baby????



Recommended Posts

Yeah I think the clock ticking is an issue. Ever since I was a little girl I had wanted to have my family started by 23 just like my mom did... well I am 25 now and going on 26. I have always told myself I do not want to have kids after 30 so I feel like I am getting too close to that window. Maybe that is part of my wanting to rush it.

I did tell my husband last night that I might need to be selfish and just wait... I really don't want to but I feel like it's the right choice.

At 23 I would say wait!

I am 25 my husband is 23... my parents were 23 & 25 when they had me so I guess I see from their view it worked out great...

I totally understand what you are going threw I hit my 1 year mark November 7 2012, my husband and I had been trying for 5 yrs to conceive and nothing. I decided to have the lap band done and I still have my struggles, my doc wants me lose 45 pounds more before I start again to conceive. I was so upset with myself because having a baby means everything to me I have my own issues with cravings still so I let myself down. Now I'm ready to take back control and get this weight off I just hope and pray it works. The best of luck to you.

I know what you mean! I will be 27 on Monday and I feel like I should have already had a baby. My mother had me when she was 21 and I liked having a young mom growing up.

However... For me even a year makes a big difference in my maturity level, my patience, etc. my husband and I have been married for almost two years now but I like the idea of waiting a little longer to focus on us. I'm hoping that by 30 we start trying for kids. Hell, I have so much I want to do after I lose this weight and I don't want kids to stop me lol so I say wait, enjoy your husband, and enjoy yourself as you lose weight and get healthy :)

      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.
