I am a working Mama with a 3 year old daughter. I love making and sharing mommy related content, vegan lifestyle content, and my weight loss journey. I would love for you to subscribe and join me on my Vegan Motherhood journey.
im having one at 40 due to multiple fibroids. i know its a little weird. i was super nervous until my meeting with the surgeon and she said its so much easier now than back then. we'll see
Honestly I'm glad I just had the excision surgery and did pelvic floor physical therapy after. Thankfully I'm relatively pain free now. If I end up needing one in the future I would definitely still go to the same surgeon again. Good luck on your surgery
It’s just wild what people put on internet This applies to u too Maybe who ever put that on internet was able to digest it nd u were not Human body works strangely nd many other factors are too be taken in consideration
I been doing starch solution and lost 7 lbs too, I walk 3 miles every 3 days. My goals were more aggressive but can’t seem to shake that weight off very fast. Starch solution seems to be slow on weight loss but at least it’s coming off. I was 171 and now I’m 162 after about a month and a half.
It definitely can be slow going depending on how strict you are with it and how much you avoid the high calorie density foods. But progress is the right direction, no matter how small, is still progress! So pat yourself on the back because a win is a win!
Hey Megan. This video popped up on my homepage. I’ve been where you are, and honestly, I understand the struggle. I hope you keep on going and that things get better for you.
Heyy- I just randomly found this video on my home feed and I just wanna say a few words. First of all- I can relate to this SO much. Ever since I was a young teen, I always tried to keep my weight down and, due to my slow metabolism, that didn’t work well. It’s hard for me to even maintain my weight, gaining it would be easy and loosing it? Impossible. I’ve gone through several ED’s, which I never liked to really admit to myself. Still now, my weight goes up and down constantly. One night I think I’m doing great in my diet and could never imagine eating too much- next day I binge eat. Anyways- just so you know, you’re not alone with struggling w this stuff for a long time. I hope you achieve every goal of this journey, and I believe in you <3
Thank you so much for the encouragement. It's so tough because I had lost 60lbs and I've gained most of that back now. I kept it off for over a year and my weight was pretty stable...and then one day it wasn't anymore
My CT was normal. Luckily I found found a combo of meds that keeps me ok for the most part. I have a preventative medication I take daily and rescue meds if I have a flair up
@@MeganAndersonYT I’m happy to hear that it’s under control . Do you still get vertigo I’m Struggling big time plus I have fi take of my kid and it’s hard 😓.. any advice that’ helps ?
It was because of my pain location, description, etc they believe I have adenomyosis. I did not get the hysterectomy but did have an excision of endometriosis done followed by pelvic floor PT and my symptoms are significantly better.
Excellent job! I just started this 5 months ago and lost 32 lb already. I drive a truck over the road recently and I have to keep up how you eat. Plant-based, thank you for sharing
As a divorced dad with two adult kids I agreed to start over with my new partner, but only one child. Given that she was already 40 we knew that it would not even be sure to work. Now I'm very happy with our baby daughter 👶🏻 but my girlfriend now thinks that it would be nice if our daughter had a sibling to grow up with. Honestly, she is underestimating the strain. I need to stay firm on this point.
Love this, Thankyou for sharing 💕 I personally took 5 years to have our daughter thanks to IVF. I knew the moment she was in my arms that I was okay if this is the only child we ever have. I knew my husband only ever wanted one child so it was okay. My daughter is now 4 and I’m totally content. It is a little hard knowing her firsts quickly become her lasts 🥹💕 but she’s very emotional and needs me still. I’m a stay home mom in Australia. Can I ask if it has gotten easier since your little girl has gotten older? It can be very consuming, ofcourse very rewarding however xo
It has gotten a bit easier in some areas, harder in others but overall I think compared to where we were when I made this video it is alot easier. She will be 5 this week. My feelings on this subject have changed tremendously though but my husband still holds strong. He comes more from a place of logic but I have strong gut feelings like something is missing. I have had weird feelings when it's just me and my daughter in the car that were missing something, like were missing another car seat in the car. It's the weirdest feeling. I plan to make an updated video on this soon. I'm so glad that you found success with IVF and you found peace that she's your only.
Thankyou so much for taking the time to answer. Your feelings are validated and it would be challenging for you at times when u feel like something is missing. I can recommend a lady if you like in Seattle that does zoom spirit baby readings. It’s so interesting. An update video would be amazing. Happy birthday to your daughter 💕🎂 I hear ages 6&7 are magic hehe xo
Have one and def feel done. I had traumatic birth and infertility treatment to undergo I just dont think having would work for me. I feel blessed with my baby girl.
I have a 5and a half year old and was still wrestling with the idea of whether to have another. In a perfect world I’d have more resources and a nanny lol. But my reality I live i realize it just isn’t practical. I also have health issues so I think it would just do more harm than good and my child needs a healthy mom more than a sibling. Half the siblings I know aren’t even close. Including my own. So the sibling argument needs to be shut down that’s mostly what people tell me is that he needs a sibling and that is just ridiculous.
Siblings are "nice to have", not " need to have". We could replace the longing for a sibling by having close friends. It's not a exactly the same but it fills that need we have. But if the choice is between having a mom or a sibling, then you're absolutely correct. You made the right choice.
I'm saying this as a first time dad of a 3 week old and I do feel he is enough. But I also feel like I want him to have a sibling (just one), so that they don't feel alone. But I had to settle for just my son, I would certainly not complain. I love my wife and if he's the only child she could give me, I'd still be happy with my life. Kids are a lot of work. I'm already dreading the second one.
I completely relate to what you said about not having that feeling that you just knew you were done. We're still slightly on the fence but about 95% decided we are one and done, and we have had to make that decision consciously. Like you, I originally wanted 2 kids, and like you, I have a very high needs baby that makes it difficult to imagine caring for my son and an infant at the same time. As it is, I can barely carve out any time for myself. I feel like all our spare time would completely disappear if we had 2.
Two years later, my husband is still pretty confident in being done but my heart aches for another one. Our girl is still high needs but it's getting better and we understand her more (more than just her speech but some other diagnoses going on). Obviously we can't really compromise in this area and my husband would have to have a reversal so if we ever change our minds collectively it's a big decision financially too.
ghee doesn't have the allergens like lactose and casein so its actually anti inflatatory ... also just because someone is allergic or sensitive to those proteins doesn't mean they can't eat beef lol
At no point in time is any dairy based product anti-inflammatory, just like lactose isn't typically an allergen as that's not a milk protein. With lactose sensitivity, people lack the enzyme (lactase) to break down the milk.sugar (lactose) giving them gi symptoms.
@@MeganAndersonYT ghee is pure fat no lactose no casein and yes lactose intolerance is not an allergy rather lacking an enzyme that breaks it down however casein can cause allergy or sensitivity .. none of them are in ghee (or at least it shouldn't) since ghee is as I said pure fat
@@MeganAndersonYT my dr didn’t cercelage and didn’t monitored closely.. she was like normal pregnancy.. and i had rides on 2 wheelers joining yoga class at 5 th month and did my regular activities..that’s result in cervix shortening and dialation and early labour pains and i lost my baby😞😭at 24 weeks
Looks good! You’ll need to let us know how the chocolate rice cakes taste. Wish we had a Sprouts here, the jack fruit sounds delicious, never seen that or tried it, But very curious, Thank you for the shopping tips🌻🌻🌻 Hope you get your thyroid in check, I have the same problem.
The rice cakes are a solid 8/10. You can get the jackfruit on Amazon I think. It's super nice because you don't have to prep it or anything. Thank you! I think my thyroid is getting better already and I started the new dosage about 5 days ago.
Thank you for being so honest, it isn’t easy, but it’s so helpful. I definitely have been there often. Hearing about the stress component and thyroid is really interesting to me, as that is what I go through as well. Good Luck to us🌻🌻🌻. Been walking 4 to 5 miles everyday, helps a lot.
@@MeganAndersonYT It’s really not that hard, I get up early, get it done. It’s out of the way, afterwards I have my Breakfast, and get on with my day. I don’t have to go to a job, so makes it easier for me, also kids are grown, so don’t have a little one, but when I did, I would put them on the back of my bicycle, or in a backpack and walk, or else do an exercise video, and either play pen time, or they would play with their toys, watch a favorite cartoon show, look at picture books, until I was done. Good Luck to us all on this way of eating, it is difficult at times.
