wooooohoooo for a little boy EJ i am soo excited for you :lunch: as far as the u/s not being clear dont be worried....it happens... when i was 14 weeks they couldnt find the hb on the doppler and sent me for a u/s they just do these things to make sure and if they thought it was serious than you would have been sent for a 3d or 4d u/s with a peri doc who knows more.... i have one more u/s and i cant wait....we are going to find out just how big this little girl is before i have her :w00t: i cant believe in 2 weeks i am full term and she could come anytime :wub: EJ your little boy is just fine (just to let you know sometimes boys can be girls LOL so just prepare yourself...the cord can be mistaken for a penis) i know we found out girl at 18 weeks and didnt have another u/s till 26 we were so worried they were going to tell us boy LOL but it was defintly a girl....girls are easier to figure out...and less likely to change to boy..but boys can be girls LOL just a little thing to remember...but i am sure your little man is a little man HUGS!!! soo excited for you

Hey everyone i havnt been around for a LONG LONG time and i am sorry been soooo tired!!! only 6 more weeks till my little girl is here and i am so excited...i am up 14 pounds right now and feeling good... but the band does have its days were i cant eat as much but so far no unfill and no problems... i am so excited this summer is going to be the summer of banded babies :biggrin: EJ only a few more days till we know boy girl for you huh!!! i cant wait girl i think girl love ya hun!

hey everyone well i was spotting and i was really concerned but it is all turing out ok....i had to go to the ER bc of it and we saw the ultra sound and we saw the little yolk sac...i went had a repeat of blood work and all that and well i have great news.... Sunday my beta level was 3989 and i had spotting so i had a repeat beta yesterday and they checked my progesterone.... my beta was 8543 so it went up.....YAY which means great great things and my prog. was low...so i have to get on some prog pills to help lil baby peep grow till the placenta can take over....they said that is prolly why i was spotting also...i feel so much better so i am starting those tonight Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers...they also moved my first appointment up to sept 5th from the 10th so i will get to see baby than...and we will get to see a heartbeat by than **fingers crossed**

EJ MY LOVE:: i feel it coming hunny...you need to talk to you doc about getting some progestron to get your cycle going again...and i would get the answer ovulation kit...its like 30 sticks for 20 bucks..that way you can test a lot.... to everyone else....i will send you a lot of baby dust...just keep being positive it will happen i promise!!!! i had bad pcos...irreg. periods....we tried 2 years with no baby....finaly we put it on hold i had surgery and the month we decided to start trying NEXT month..i get preg that month LOL so yeah!! its possible!!!

Hey this is a great idea....i was banded on 3/6/08 and i am down 28 pounds....looks like we are all doing great!!! I go for my 2nd fill tomorrow YAY!!!

HEY EVERYONE!!! sorry i have been MIA lately been busy...anyway..i am having a small crisis frustration whatever you want to call it...So the other day i went on a really long bike ride...and the next morning i woke up super bloated and just feeling like blah...anyway i figured that i would have lost some weight right...NOOO i havent lost anything in like a week now..and i am getting frustrated because I am working out everyday and eating good...i can only manage to get in like 850-900 calories in a day...suppose to get in like 1000 but i cant ...and now i am wondering if my body is going into starvation mode bc i am not getting enough in and that is why i am not losing weight??? Any suggestions on what i should do...how to get more calories in?? i get in plenty of Protein....i am so confused and frustrated....and i am also starting to get hungry a lot of the time and i don't get my next fill till may 6th but i want to lose some more weight before that... I am feeling like a failure right now and i am getting really depressed about this...bc i feel like i am working so hard and now all of a sudden having no results. :tt2: HELP !!!

well i finaly hit 20 pounds down from surgery YAY and a NSV i went and got a swim suit to the other day to work out in and i got a 18/20 YAY!!! anyway here are pics showing my progress.... Hope everyone else is doing great too

well everyone i had a NSV and a SV today.... NSV was that i went to go put on a pair of 18 pants and yes they were tight...but they buttoned :cursing: so only a few more pounds and i can be a 18/20 woohooo as for my SV i got on today and i was 247 so thats 2 more pounds down...i want to be down to 243 by tuesday when i get my first fill that would be 20 lost since surgery but i dont think that will happen....but maybe 2 more pounds...Keep up the great work everyone we are all doing so good!!

YES YES YES!!! i am scrapbooking also.....i have been slacking on it but i took the pic well to Celebrate the number but to also put it in my scrapbook :bolt: and i carry a Water bottle with me EVERYWHERE!!!

Hey everyone....only 5 more days till my first fill and i cant wait.....soooooo need it!!!!! but something cool happened to me yesterday morning :bolt: YYYYAAAAAAYYYYYY anyway....I think i am doing ok...i am down 15 from surgery and about 31 since feb 15th so things are going good...and i am down 39 i think it is from my highest so i am happy....Hope everyone else is doing great just think...last month we were not even close to this weight loss so we are doing great.... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

hey everyone!!!! sounds like most everyone is doing well and moving onto soft foods for the most part.....YAY Well i had a terrible day yesterday besides the fact that i have not lost any weight in a week..grr....and i was backed up so bad.....i hadnt pooped in like almost a week....grrrrr....and i think that had something to do with the no weightloss which is really starting to make me angry.... So yesterday i went to the mall with some friends..and we walked and i felt good and we went to the food court and i didnt eat anything just drank some Water and i felt so sick i got soooo nauseous....it was terrible the smells of the food court ugh...... anyway i got home and i ate some food thinking i was just hungry and NOOOOOO i felt worse.... SOOO last night....i went and got some milk of mag., prune juice, and some prunes (those ones those new ones) i took some of the milk of mag...drank some prune juice and took one of the prunes...and nothing...but this morning YAY i pooped it was the best feeling ever in the last week LOL and i have been having the runs all day (sorry TMI) lol i better get on the scale tomorrow and see the scale move down....if not i am going to be lost for words... Anyway....the weird part of this all is the last week after i eat sometimes i got really bad shoulder pain...and i asked my doc and some people on the forums...and that is my sign that i am full or overate...sooooo for those of you that are having some shoulder pain that might be what it is....today while eating dinner i started feeling a little shoulder pain..and i stopped eating and it went away....dunno just thought that might help some of you... Hope you all are doing well...lots of prayers to all of us to lose lots of weight and see that scale move... Much love! Frances
