Congratulations. Wishing you all the best.

I will keep you in my thoughts and keep us posted, try to stay positive and try not to stress.

My somewhat normalized period (only in the last 6 months) was a little late, so I took a HPT, and holy crap, it was blaringly positive!!!!!!!!!! I've suffered from secondary infertility (13 medically assisted procedures-IUI and IVF, none successful) for the last 8 years and so I never thought this would happen. I've got a lot against me: I'm 40 and I've had six previous losses, so I'm keeping my head on straight and my heart guarded. I am not certain about how far along we are, maybe 6+ weeks? Went to the RE and they did a scan. Shows a baby and a yolk sac. Next week I go back to look for heartbeat and dating.
Wish us luck. I'm terrified. I'm not going to change anything in my diet except adding one more Protein Shake a day until I see my lap band doc in late December, provided the baby is still viable at that time.
Who else is PG with a band right now?

I already got into my dream outfit: running shoes, tights, and a tank top. Makes me feel FIERCE!!!!!!!!!!
Some day I would like a vintage style dress (a la Audrey Hepburn) with heels, but I'm a little ways off that.

I was craving egg nog and so I experimented and put cinnamon and nutmeg in a french vanilla Protein Shake. Good enough to satisfy me for now! LOL

I am a sugar addict too. I conquered it just after my lap band was placed, but since Halloween I've really messed up. Today I started a sugar detox. I'm pretty certain that if I can just make it a week I'll be back to feeling much more in control. Sugar makes me nuts. I 100% believe it's a drug like crack cocaine. Time to go to rehab!!

I've screwed up and since Halloween I've reintroduced sugar into my eating. And now I'm eating everything. I've gained about 10 lbs. Thanksgiving and seeing family made reverting to old habits too easy and I ate many, many things I shouldn't have. But I'm not going to beat myself up about it. I will just get back on track. I did do something recently that I'm proud about--I ran a 5K Turkey Trot and got 6 of my family members to do it too! But then I gave myself permission to eat like a crazy lady and that's gonna stop right now.
It's gonna be a rough week detoxing from sugar again. I've done it before, i'm gonna do it again!!!!!!!!! Send me some positive vibes.
