Topic: Protein bars great but OMG wind problems
Hello everyone     

Although my surgeon did not suggest any protein supplements wre necessary (just loads of vitamins, etc), I jumped on the bandwagon and bought some Maximuscle Protein Bars.   (Seems everyone from the U.S. has been instructed to supplement).

They are pretty tasty and filling - except had major issues with wind every time I've had one.   Wondering if it's just the brand I've chosen.  Anyone else have experience with this?

Topic: Ok girls!! Help a UK newbie find jeans for a WOMANLY figure-please!!??
Oh wonderful and beautiful ladies of the UK OH board-I beg of you..I NEED HELP! LOL!

I must admit that since I have moved to the UK (Since last January!)-I've  not been clothing shopping. Well-the last couple of weeks I decided to start looking around.

I would like to find some nice jeans. My problem? Um-SO many of the jeans are in that narrow legged low rise style! LOL! Now-first of all..I have ALWAYS had a rather..um..generous backside and hips. I also have a very small waist. This makes those types of jeans look CRAZY on me-and that is if I can get them pulled up past the excess skin right above my KNEES!! LOL!

I need to know where you ladies shop and what size I should be looking for. I know it will be a larger size than I wear in US sizes (which is an 8-10).

So-can you help a girl out? Where do you purchase your clothing and jeans?? Do you know where I can find a higher rise these days?>? LOL!

Thanks VERY much in advace!!

Peace,
T

Topic: Gym Madness
My personal trainer is possibly the best thing I have done for my self appart from the band...  She's hot on nutrition and the band diet fits so well with a gym freeaks diet...  it's good to speak to some one who understands what I am trying th achieve (I mean in real life, cause every one here knows it too :D)

I did arms until I am now at home and hardly able to move them...  I am looking forward to belting on!! :D

I had started today feeling quite glum - I am so much happier now :D

LOL!! I'd start a blow by blow journal, although I don' t know how interesting it would be lol!! I am a tad baby obsessed at the moment and have started moithering anyone who will listen!!

It was so amazing at my scan yesterday seeing my little baby moving around on the screen, he/she was kicking like a frog it was so cute!! It seems like such an age away until he/she arrives! My due date is in April 2010, although I'm sure it'll soon be here!!!

I may start a journal once things start getting more interesting, at the moment I'm just likely to complain about morning sickness (which lasts all day ) and feeling exhauseted all the time!! Things are improving though, so I will try and share the special moments with you all!

Best wishes,
Vicky.
