Ten Things Thursday

1. I have something big happening tomorrow, and I am not going to specify, but I need your prayers, positive vibes, good thoughts, whatever you feel like sending my way please!

2. I had my last appointment with my PA this morning prior to port revision!  18 days until they replace my port.  And I got a 1.5CC fill today.  I weighed 242.4 at the WLS office this morning.  No change really.

3.  It's official, my PA also let me know that I will absolutely need to take 3 weeks off from Bootcamp after surgery.  Super bummed about this.

4.  An old friend of mine is moving to China.  She was someone who was there for me during a rough time and we drifted apart.  I hadn't spoken to her in over a year, until she emailed me last weekend to ask if I wanted some of her stuff.  I went to her house today, she wasn't home, to pick up the things I wanted, and it made me so very sad and miss her friendship.  I tend to believe that people have a 'role' in your life, and when their role is done, they will fade away and their purpose is served.  That doesn't mean I don't miss her role in my life.

5.  I wish I could adapt that previous theory to my current feelings about Mr. Banker.  I cry every day over what I thought was going to be, but it isn't, and I need to find a way to really cope with that.

6.  One of my very best friends reminded me of some old photos this week.  I truly love her for being so supportive and reminding me where I've come from.



7.  My sister and nephew got tickets to come visit in June!  I'm so super excited!  I haven't seen them in over a year.  I hope to be very close to my goal weight by then.

8.  My birthday is a little over 2 months away and I'm getting excited already!  I've been looking at birthday dresses but won't purchase one yet since I have no idea of my size at that time.

9.  UNC v. dook basketball tonight!!!



GO HEELS!  &&& GO TO HELL DUKE!


10.  The house painting is coming along really well.  I'm almost finished painting the entire downstairs of my house.  It is really a great distraction from being alone with my thoughts.

    I love your blog! Since you can't do boot camp, are there other forms of exercise you're allowed to do just to keep up?

    When you miss someone, tell them for your sake. It is just a part of being genuine and authentic. Prayers for tomorrow.

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!
