  2. I had a miscarriage last night. It was pretty upsetting. I just wanted to wish all of you pregnant ladies lots of luck and happiness. I'm going to stay away from this board for a little while. I'm sure you understand. Thanks for all of the support.
  3. Yeah, probably not. Maybe change it to a low profile? I don't know. Rignt now, I feel fine in yoga pants. I'll stay away from the jeans for a while. pizza Hut!!! Now that's just not right!! LOL!
  4. Yesterday, I started to notice a bit of cramping and instantly became worried due to the issues I've been having with this pregnancy. I called my husband at work and told him. He's the rational one, I'm the overly emotional one. He asked me where the pain was coming from. I told him it was the upper part of my stomach. (He reminded me that the day I had some problems, the pain was in my lower stomach. Thank God, he is so sensible or I'd have panicked for sure) Well, we realized that since my tummy has expanded a bit and I'm still wearing the same clothes, my port is being irritated. It's being pushed by my growing tummy and the waist band of my jeans. I put on a pair of elastic waist yoga pants and instantly started feeling some relief. I'm gonna wear yoga pants for a few days and see if I feel any better. Anyone else feel any discomfort from the port? My husband was thinking that the surgeon may have to either move it or put in a low profile port at some point if the situation gets worse.
  5. I would call your doctor. I haven't had anything like that in my last pregnancy and nothing like that yet.
  6. It's over now. Can we drop it and move on please? I don't believe it has anything to do with the original topic anyway, does it?
  7. I actually asked my surgeon about it because it was driving me nuts! He thought that I may have hurt my tailbone when I was heavier but didn't feel the pain because of the excess padding. (I had a HUGE butt!) Now, that most of the padding is gone, I'm feeling it!
  8. Looks fabulous! I wish my hair could have the beautiful natural wave instead of my funky frizz! LOL!
  9. Is anyone still having problems? Please report them to a moderator or Alex so we can take care of it.
  10. Well, you can sure keep working on losing weight, that's totally up to you. I was in desperate need of a fill before I got pregnant, so it actually works out that I may not end up needed an unfill. But that wasn't planned. BTW, I remember you from waaaaayyyy back in 2006. We banded the same month!
  11. Apparently, lapband wasn't the choice for you. It has worked for me and has been a lifesaver. It's not for everybody. You really have to be ready to make the necessary changes in your life to be successful with the band.
  12. That's funny Fairy because I'm back to 205 this morning.
  13. Congrats! I'm taking Select OB chewables. They taste kind of orangy, not bad.
  14. I got pregnant on the pill too. And if you're not taking the pill at the same time every day, you're increasing your odds of getting pregnant. Also, weight loss seems to make us more fertile. Good luck.
  15. My surgeon told me that I'm not hydrated enough. I was drinking 8 glasses a day but he said my body may need more and that our needs change. I bumped it up to 10 glasses for a while and felt better.
  16. This pregnancy has been morning sickness free for me as well. Thank goodness. Hope you're able to find some relief.
