And yes that is a very good thing!! Im itching to tell someone so here I am with my bandmates. It just doesnt seem real, that it could be possible. I am going to go today and have a blood test done to be positive. I have taken 4.... yes 4 lol... home tests. The first two were the answer brand with the two lines. I got 2 lines but one was very light on both that is why I wanted to try another brand. I went and got a couple EPT tests, the digital type and both of those said PREGANT :tt1:. I want to wait to tell family and friends till I get the results of the blood test. Let me go into my past a bit so everyone understands why this seems so unreal to me. First I am 40. I was with my late husband for 15 years and we didnt do anything to prevent pregnancy during the majority of that time. I had given up any hopes of it happening many many years ago. Now I am engaged (to a 26 year old.. hehe) and planning on getting married May 30th. My life is going great which makes this even more hard to believe. Sorry for the long post, I just needed to get it out. Thanks for listening... or well reading. I have a question for you ladies. What really made your pregnancies "real" for you?

Congratulations!! And wow, you don't look 40, you look 20!

I was scared & panicked (was not ttc), and then 20 weeks when they did the ultrasound where he's fully formed and moving, kicking, sucking, etc. , and found out his sex, it really hit me. Then I did the nursery, started shopping and thinking about being a mom. Then I watched Marley & Me this weekend (I am 36w tomorrow) and I had a panic attack again after seeing how their lives fell apart from kids!!! And I've been stressing about the birthing part, but I try to stop thinking about it when it gets to me. I'm a big sissy.

congratulations! I'm 13 weeks and still kind of soaking it in. I think I'm still in disbelief! lol. Like fairy said, I'm assuming it'll become very real at around 20 weeks.

I found out on the first day of missed period, at work.. told my friend from work & my mom.. I said not to tell.. but then my mom told my dad, and they both told all their friends, who told all my co-workers, and it was like a month of people knowing but being told 'not to tell', so when I started telling people, they all knew already! Big mouths. :lol:

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
