wow in 10 months u lost so much congrats on doing that. I also have the big fear of weight gain during pregnancy but in know that i have not been as strict as i should and have been using pregnancy as an excuse and im accually fitting quite a bit of food in. My first few weeks of pregnancy i accually lost like 8 kgs which i was so happy about because i wasnt budging on my weight for so long. But i lost due to having so much morning/ all day sickness.. now that i have passed that ive been eating n eating and have put almost all that 8kgs back on. I was very upset as i know it cant be all baby. People are telling me to stop being so effected by my weight while im pregnant, but i know i could do better.

hey im also 20 weeks, congrats on your pregnancy.. i dnt feel a lump in my throat but i am eating like a horse and guessing that i have stretched my band. i have 5 mls in my band and i didnt want to unfill it because i was scared of weight gain. At the beginning of preg i weighed in at 101kgs but went down to 93kgs in first trimester frm being so sick.. now im 98kgs and its abit disheartning.

yay i finally found the preggy section. Im currently around 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd girl. 1st pregnancy with the Lap band. I am wondering how things are going to go when the baby gets bigger, im having a real fear that my ports going tro be ripped out by the baby or something.??? Since being preg i havnt seen my band dr at all... tut tut because i really did not want him taking all my fills out. i have 5 mls in there atm and i feel i am eating like a horse atm maybe ive stretched it :S... im watching the numbers on the scale go up and even tho i know im preg it still dissapoints me. I just weighjed myself this morning and im 98kgs im like omg its heading towards 100. with my 1st pregnancy i put on wayyyy to much weight and im just so scared of doing that again.

mmm my mouth is watering, the dietition only gave my a couple of things to start with like soft boiled eggs. nice to know that i do have a few more options

mm i cant wait till i can get something in my mouth lol. Is it basically anything i can blend up i can eat?

i am not far off heading for my 3 week post of stage, very very over this liquid stage and very ready for the mushy stage. Would like to know what foods everyone was eating at this point, im ready to go food shopping! lol

4 sure!............

Hey its wonderful to hear the great attitude you have, I was banded just 1 day b4 you so would love to follow your progress and compare.

trying lac-dol ( lactulose solution )

ive stopped taking those gas tablets as they arnt doing anything, right now my chest feels so tight i feel so full that i cant fit anything in . My bowels have not moved since b4 surgery and starting to get cramps, im going to try some prune juice today hope that works because i just feel bloated and uncomfortable :rolleyes2: im open to hear any suggestions possible

thankyou for the feedback the tablets dont seem to be helping much with gas that i can notice but i will continue to take them my chest feels so tite it gets very annyoing. Im taking Pain Stop for children in liquid form the chemist told me to take it 4 times a day which is about 8hrs apart

My mum has bought me De-Gas Tablets becuase my chest is very tight from needing to burp, but i am not sure if i can take it as i am on a " liquid Diet " 2nd day post op, could anyone please let me know if i can or what my alternatives are, i have tried walking through the house abit but there is only so far i can go.

Yes and i am thankful for all the advise that ppl took the time to give me and i was just explaining hjow i felt about them, i was not angry.

i do thank you for everyones advise but i am not going to dump my partner over this when it hasnt been happening for very long, this was a bump in a road that has been good. I came in here to try and understand him, but we have talked and now i know. Something i would also like to state is that we have broken up a couple times because i left him, because i have been scared to commit. I am a mother and my child father left when she was 3 months old and the man that i am with now has been more than a wonderful person in my daughters life , hhe has raised his son on his own as his sons mother did a runner wen his son was 3. i know it is easy to say leave him when u are not in it and dnt see what we have gone through, like i said overall things were wonderful and this was just a bump in the road that he found difficult to talk to me about, but now that he has it is alot better.

we are all sorted now thank you

ok thanx for all your advise, how can u get this post deleted i think ive had enough opf the world knowing my probs now

hrd drnt mr a msg while i was at work tonight saying that who would like to get together this weekend and talk about our problems and how we can be happy together, that he loves me and that will never change.... so will c what that means i guess

oh and he is the one who has always asked for me back, during the last time we were apart for 6 months he was seeing some other girl and i was dating the field, he broke up with this girl to ask for me back, i gave him a chance and started going on dates with him took me a while to say that i wanted to be with him but he proved hhim self to me.

Yep your right its not what i want to hear, but yes it runs through my mind. I love this man to death, i had a conversation with him on the phone last night and i said that i feel like you have done a complete turn around and just acted like this man to get me back and i feel tricked and played a fool, he turned around and said hes been played a fool by forking out the money for the deposit and then hung up on me. I sent him a email last night stating my feelings about it again and the fact that i dont want to feel like a problem in his life. Im so upset, i dnt know what to do, we have holidays booked, and the house thing... i love him, i just want to feel it back. Ive had this conversation wth my mum and she seems to think that im over reacting, that i shouldnt expect it to be la de da all the time. Im so sorry that i have vented out on here i feel quite ashamed posting and showing all my problems to the world

I guess anything is possible, im stuck i dont know, ive tried approaching the problem about telling him how i feel but it just ends in a argument, we arnt even talking right now.

yup i agree ill stomach down these shakes i bought and stock up on some bars, although at $20 for 6 bars is abit ouchies on the pocket:unsure:

3 times.. eek ive introduced it today and ohh yuk!

Ok guys sorry to make me way into the MAN area but im guna take my chances to get some advice for u fellas about my little relationship issues that i have at the moment. My partner have been together for a while now this is accually the 3rd time round we have been together we were seperated for 6 months, when he came back into my life things were absoluteley wonderful, he was a veryu humble positive person to be around, he was very open about his feelings towards me and very affectionate. I felt like he was very proud to be with me and i was for the 1st time really with him feeling very secure in our relationship. At the moment we seem to be arguing alot, hes not affectionate at all really and we only have sex if i iniciate it if ofcourse he dosnt reject the idea. Its making me feel like he is bored of me, dosnt find me attractive ... i dont know.. we have just appied for a loan for a house, he says he wants to get married and have more kids.. but his actions dnt match.... help? what can i do? help me understand please?

im having a insecure time feeling like im not attractive or my partner is bored of me, im quite a sexual person and lately my partner and i only really have sex if i iniciate it and im finding alot of the time now he will say not right now or show no interest that im even playing around with him. Im taking this very personally that he dosnt want to have sex with me anymore.. what can i do?

my surgery date is 25th june
