Sure Shay you can give us a heads up on whats to come!!

This will be our second. I have a three year old girl. When TTC I didn't care. A boy would be nice but a sister for Olivia would be nice also.

Then as soon as we conceived I have been convinced its a boy and I am now hoping for a boy.

DH says he doesn't care.

Thanks!

Why are you convinced it's a boy?

I am so not a girly girl, so I'm a little worried that if we have a girl I won't be able to teach her much. I can't do hair, and I barely know how to put makeup on myself! I feel sorry for her! She's going to end up a little tomboy.

My sister is having a girl in Oct and I feel sorry for her. My sister is such a tomboy. In the national guard works as a prison guard enjoys hunting with her husband. also doesn't do her hair or make up. Oh boy....

I don't know why I think its a boy I just feel like it is. I felt like I was having a girl when I was pregnant with Olivia also. I read somewhere that a mother can predict with 70% accuracy what she is carrying. I have a friend who has three and she says she knew what she was having with each of them.

Did you have any infertility problems prior to being banded? I'm 39 and having a very difficult time TTC. My OB/GYN thinks the weight has EVERTHING to do with it. I'm being banded in Dec. How long afer being banded did you get preggers?

Sorry to invade your Feb thread, but I seen where you girls were talking about knowing what you were having and I wanted to add.

I am pregnant with our third and each and every time I just knew we were having a boy. Well, I am pregnant with our third boy! :smile2:

With our first I knew as soon as I tested that he was going to be a he. So at our gender scan I was not surprised when they said boy. With our second, we did not find out the gender and I was mixed emotions for a while on him. By the end, I was convinced it was a boy. This time around started as twins (we lost one at 19 weeks). I have been convinced both were boys, we were not able to tell what the one was that passed. But the tech asked me what I thought and I told her boy, she just said I was right.

I think the mother has a very good instinct on what she is having.

hi Ladies

I'm also pregnant with my second child post surgery. My little boy is due Jan 21. My first pregnancy I got prego 5 months after surgery wasn't trying just happened. I had already lost 70lbs at that time and I wasn't about to change that. I never changed my 2.5 cc and I only gained 12lbs my whole pregnancy I have to say I never showed that I was prego and the last month I couldn't keep much down. She came out very healthy and 7lbs 4oz. Now this time around I had just got unfilled a half a cc b/c I was having such bad heartburn. I knew I would gain weight and boy did I. I was at 185 my lowest 115 down altogether. within 2 months I had got back too 210 but I must say I had alot of crap going on in my life. I went to food to deal with it. I thought i was depressed with everything going on in my life but needless to say we were pregnant again. This pregnancy is night and day from my first girl. I really feel pregnant. I'm 23 weeks and I have gained almost 50 lbs since I got my half cc out in March. Lucky I can say I do feel full lot more now.. thank god.

thanks for listen.

I hope you all have a great pregnancy!!

Hi there Everyone! I am due Feb. 10th with a boy. I already have a three year old little girl, so we are very excited to have one of each. I've gained about ten pounds so far, which is definitely hard on the ol' ego after working so hard to lose all that weight, but I know it's for a good cause and the band will help me lose it afterwards! Let's all stay in touch!

Hello everyone! I am due January 14th with our first girl!! Im so excited! I was banded in August of 2009 and we had no problems TTC. This pregnancy has been horrible on me, I have been sick since 9 weeks and have lost 30 pounds since finding out I was prego (total of 70)! Between being nauseated at the sight of food and constantly throwing up, I thought for sure it was the band. But, my lap band doc does not think any of my symptoms are a result of the band and therefore has not taken any Fluid out of my band. I think I am at 5.5CC total. The real weird thing is that now my port sticks out of the side of my tummy and looks HORRIBLE!!! Like scared my son when I was walking around in a sports bra! Has this happened to anyone else? I am sure hoping it goes back in after I deliver because I do not want another surgery!

BTW...Congrats to all the other soon to be mommies!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
