Shrinking Violets - Part 5!



Recommended Posts

congrats Judy and Bob!! Are you going back for an unfill?

Laura, I remember you saying that you could do it in such a way that you could predict a girl, but if this was a surprise? Are you back to 50/50?

I'm fuzzy on the details, there was that calculator I posted on here a while back that said if you're a normal cycle woman, based on your whatever, these are the dates you should do things to increase chance of a girl. We still did that, even though the ovulation kits never said I was ovulating (using those, when they finally say postive you will ovulate in the next 24-48 hours). Anyway, so it's still 50/50 no matter what, we did try things to 'increase' the chance of a girl, but since I have no idea when I ovulated, there's just no telling. Happy either way!!!!

I had to text my mom, she's in the bahamas and the phone calls don't go through. I tried sending her a pic of the test, didn't work.. so I texted her 'Izzy is here!!' and she goes "REALLY?!?!? You know it's Izzy already?!" LOL.

You don't find out till 5m, like I would have been able to keep it a secret that long.

I tested by accident, I was doing my ovulation test thing, and it comes with 1 free pregnancy test, so I opened the wrong one.. figured since it was already open I'd do both. And there it was. I told Russ it can't be right, if I didn't MEAN to take a pregnancy test, it can't tell me I'm pregnant!! So I took a couple more tests, all positive, so now I guess I'll believe it.

Laura, I am so so happy for you. I said the same thing as you "this can't be right" LOL. Remember how I toldbyou the first two times we were gonna try juan chickened out? That's so funny.

Where you the slipped band or the slipped port? Couldn't remember. Well I am scared to death of something happening to the band or my port so under the advice of my band doc I got a complete unfill. I've been losing weight so far but I'm at the stage where everything is yuck. When I get to the hungry stage I'm gonna have to just suck down watermelom to fill me up. Ill have to be so careful.

I go for another ultrasound Thursday and ill take my dvd to burn a copy. I can't wait!

Haydee, there's this little metal piece that connects the port-side tube to the band-side tube (not sure if this is universal). Mine broke in half. They said it was unrelated to the pregnancy, just happened to happen during the pregnancy.

Going to try to lock this thread.

      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.
