Well did my first scan yesterday and all is well. Apparently I am 12 weeks pregnant giving e a due dae of April 22nd next year. It makes it so much more real now. I am getting very excited. I half expected to see the lap band wrapped around the baby. eheheheh..... but no.... everything is normal.
In terms of eating I am eating alot more often and less at a time then pre pregnancy even with the lap band. I have been getting alittle more naughty as I am off most of my normal foods especially real meals like chicken fish meat and or pasta and rice. I just want toast, crackers, fruit BIG TIME.....
I have not lost weight since my last blog but to be honest I thought I would have put on. Not just bec being naughty with food but also because the baby. Instead I am exactly the same so haven't lost or gained. I expect to gain some weight with the next trimester.
In terms of the lap band itself. I am still not regretting I got it done. I have from memory thrown up on 3 x occasions - one was tonight when some broccoli got stuck on my first mouthful , another time was some apple I was eating with the skin on - so be careful if you insist on eating the skin like I do for nutrional reasons. I have found a good way to eat all my fruit that I am craving. I puree a whole bunch of fruit together, add some juice or liquid yoghurt for the blender to get started and then I add an opti fast sachet that I still have in the cupboard to add that nutritional punch - important not to peel the fruit....well most of them anyway. Yummy and freezers well too..... a good way to get rid of your fruit when it is beginning to get too ripe...
see you soon.....
