I have developed a sympathy for the celebrities. Well not a complete sympathy. I don't sympathise that they have millions of dollars, get to wear all the latest fashion and can afford personal trainers, chefs etc. What I sympathise with is food babies! Yep food babies. They are all so thin that every time they eat something, their stomach bloats and then the paparazzi decide that they are pregnant. I mean seriously, how many times has someone like Jennifer Aniston been pregnant? Ooohh maybe she ate lunch that day...theres a scoop for you!
The same happens with lapband. Every time I eat I get the food baby and I affectionately call it that also. When the band is placed around your stomach they allow a small portion to stay above the band, this allows for food to be stored there after a meal until it filters through the hole into the rest of your stomach. It is very noticeable to me and those close but I'm guessing to others, I might have a baby bump. Speaking of babies, if/when I decide to have another one, I still can, even with the lapband. They take the fluid out of your band so that you can provide the nutrients to your baby and put it back in after you have had the baby. Bonus for me is that I will lose the weight quickly afterwards.
Well until next time....
Be proud of your bump, whatever kind you have!
