Happy 2013/Weigh in Wednesday

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

As far as Weigh in Wednesday goes, I haven't a lot to report.  I have maintained since my last weigh in and am still at 60.2 total pounds lost.  I won't complain considering during the time since I last weighed, I celebrated Christmas with too much food and New Year with too much alcohol, so maintaining isn't the worst thing that could've happened.

The New Year began great.  I went out for dinner with some friends at a Japanese Grill on New Year's Eve.  When I asked to order off of the Children's menu, the waitress first said no, so I decided I'd play the surgery card.  Her response was that if I'd had WLS I should carry a card with me to show when ordering off the children's menu.  Has anyone else been told this?  Odd.  Anyway, she let me order this one time without a card, and my bill was $6.50 and still had plenty of leftovers for at least 2 more meals.  The best part is that the same meal would've cost me $20 had I not gotten the kid's portion.  Guess I will email my surgeon's office or wait until I go in for my adjustment next week.

After dinner I went to a hotel event/party.  There was a group of 10 of us, including the guy I have been seeing since the beginning of December.  I did not end up wearing the purple dress because I just felt that it was too short and I would feel uncomfortable.  Here are a few new pics from the NYE celebration and NYE dress shopping...


My younger cousin was my first "kiss" of 2013...as my date and her husband had disappeared somewhere at midnight.


I found this gem of a dress while I was NYE dress shopping.  It was too small (a regular size L) but it was $4 and I knew I'd be fitting in it soon.  It is backless...can't wait to be able to wear it in public!!!

    Happy New Year, Hollee! It's sure to be a great one for you as you continue on your banded journey :)

    My surgeon's practice handed me a card while I was in the hospital post-op for any restaurant ordering issues. Glad that the waitress gave you the option, but hope she wasn't too snarky about it. Good for you for sticking to your guns!

    Happy New Year! I love ordering kid's meals! I have a card that was given to me after surgery, but I've never actually has anyone ask me to see it.

    I emailed my surgeon's office and they said they are going to send me a card in the mail. I guess I will just use the email until that card arrives if I get asked again. Thanks ladies!!

    Hi Hollee! I just started following you and started my own Lap Band blog on Monday. I am meeting with my surgeon soon to hopefully put it on the calendar...so excited I can't think about practically anything else! Just wanted to say I loved reading about your experiences...as a Size 26 myself, it's amazing to see how you've progressed. It serves as an awesome motivator for me! Keep up the good work...you look wonderful :)

Life ....or Something Like it

 There was once a time that my blog was therapy to me.  It seems now I neglect my blog for actual therapy- but that is probably a good thing.  It has been 2 years since I wrote a post.  It isn't for lack of wanting to, I just don't want to be fake on here, and there were times that I felt like I could not be transparent or myself, so I chose not to write.  It was nothing to do with weight loss/gain- I will always be transparent there, but my life was a little upside down and sideways at times over the last few years.  I am finally at a place that I can be me, so here I am again. Being me isn't all pretty- but it's honest. The last two years have been...busy. I had my skin removal surgery on January 27, 2022.  I'm almost 19 months post-op, and it was hell!  The surgery itself went great: -Lower Body Lift with Belt Lipectomy -Breast Lift with Augmentation The healing process was the hardest.  I didn't feel like "myself" for about 6 months and that is som

Ten Things Thursday

1. I forgot to weigh in this morning, but my other weigh ins this week tell me the number on the scale really had not moved since last week. 2.  Yesterday my plans were kind of up in the air.  First, my mom talked about coming to visit.  Then Mr. Banker asked to come over.  Then a friend, Ashley, asked me to go to dinner.  My mom canceled, so I told Mr. Banker that Ashley had asked me to dinner, so he told me to go out with her.  I guess he wasn't expecting I would be at the restaurant for 4 hours because apparently he was planning to come over after my dinner. 3.  One of my favorite things about Lap Band is that I can usually go out to dinner for about $4 now.  If you don't have a card from your WLS that states you can eat from the kid's menu, you're missing out! 4.  I need a fill.  I'm hungry all the time right now.  I tried to move my appointment up, but they didn't have any openings.  I'm so thankful my PA will be back next month!  It's so much

32 Weeks Pregnant

Hi everyone, just wanted to stop in with a quick pregnancy/weight update. So... I'm still lighter than I was the day I found out I was pregnant, but I have watched the scale creep up slightly and that is hard!  SO HARD! Above is a picture I took Friday at 32 weeks.  It's insane, I hardly even look pregnant at all.  7.5 weeks left, hopefully I can stay under my pre-pregnancy weight in the next 7.5 weeks!
