I'm Obese.... YAYYYY!

WHY is that exciting, you might ask yourself?

Because I'm no longer Morbidly Obese.  I've finally hit that 39.9 BMI!  My starting BMI was 50.8.  I've dropped over 10 points on the chart in 8 months :)


At the Doctor today, I weighed in at 270.5.  That's a 1.9 pound decrease since Tuesday, so that is good news. 

The bad news is that I may have overdid it today at the Dr.  He finally complied with my request to give me a bigger fill.  He added 1.4 CC's to my band and it is TIGHT.  I came to work and was starving, so I took 2 bites of my Fage with Honey (typical post-adjustment meal) and they came right back up.  Currently even tiny sips of my Gatorade have me feeling uncomfortable.  Hopefully this is just some swelling from the adjustment and I'll be back to "normal" by tomorrow. 

What is "normal" these days anyway?

    Very aggressive fill! Just stay proactive and make sure if you are too tight, to get some out!

    Hope your fill relaxes a bit! But that is WONDERFUL about being simply "obese" now...something about that word..."morbidly". UGH *shudder*

    Congratulations!!!! :)

    I totally get it. I look forward to that day - but mine is quite down the road. Keep up the great work.

    I remember being excited when I was no longer morbidly obese (or death fat as I prefer, because both terms are ludicrous). Yay us!

    Thats a big fill! I hope it calms down. I remember crossing that threshold from morbidly obese to obese! What a great moment! Congrats to you!!

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!
