I missed sashimi and soft cheesees like feta, brie, and goat cheese. I allowed ,myself two caffinated drinks a day, one in the morning and one at lunch. I missed seeing my feet.

I miss sleeping through the night without having to go to the bathroom. I miss normal clothes. I miss being able to put my shoes on without worrying about if they'll fit or not. I miss caffiene. I miss an occassional drink. I miss feeling normal. I miss roller coasters. I miss times when people don't put there hands on my stomach. Why do people always think it's ok to put their hands on other people's stomachs? *sigh*

hi there.. well when i was pregnant i was sleeping sideways, and i was really not used to it, but of course i really have to be cautious about my moves, or else i might lose my baby if i ended up lying my stomach^_^ about the foods that i missed then, well there was none! i ate everything that i want.. hahhaa maybe that's why i was so big when i was pregnant, and now still having a hard time to shed off pounds.. thanks a bunch^_^.

Being able to see my feet? lol Seriously, my second pregnancy was so different from my first! Since having gastric bypass surgery I had to give up many of my vices. My second pregnancy I mostly craved fresh fruit and veggies! Weird, I know. :) I didn't crave anything that I could have the second time around.

that's true Lisa. With my 2nd child I couldn't keep fruit down, so I stopped eating it. I found myself dreaming of strawberries and pineapple :) Funny how things become so appealing to eat when you know you can't have them! :)

I miss coffee (regular, non-decaf coffee, that is). I miss being able to move around as much as I want. I miss not worrying about what time i sleep or what I eat. I miss sleeping on my back and through the night... :-p

I miss my comfortable sleeps, as it is very painful to lye on your back.

When I was pregnant I agree that coffee was the hardest thing to put behind me for the most part. My OB said I could have one cup a day and I had that, but I was someone who was used to like a whole pot by myself in the morning!

I missed the caffiene, the occasional drink, and being able to fit into my clothes.

caffiene - it's always hard for me the first few days, and the I get over it. As soon as I have the baby though, for some odd reason, I *must* have a coffee though! :)

I never was a coffee drinker. For me it has always been Pepsi or tea, but still have always liked to have that caffiene in the morning one way or the other.
