Ten Things Thursday

1.  I was just thinking how thankful I am for the friendships I've made through my WLS blog and through WLS hashtags on IG.  Thank you for all the support and kindness you've shown me.  Some of you I will never meet in person, but know that you matter to me.

2.  I'm exhausted.  I took a week to work from home since I think I went back to work too early after surgery.  It was such an amazing help.  But I came back to work Tuesday and I am just not 100% yet.  I'm tired and cranky.

3.  I'm not a patient person.  I'm waiting for an answer on something big right now.  Something that would be life changing, and it's killing me! 

4.  I've been watching a lot of HGTV lately and I have the urge to remodel my kitchen.  It's a tiny kitchen but would still be expensive.  And I need to put a fence up for my pups.  I need to start a 'house fund' savings account.

5.  I bought the cutest blue jean dress the other day and I'm going to be Rosie the Riveter for Halloween.  I don't know where I'll be or who I'll be with, but at least I know what I'll be dressed as!

6.  I don't have one regret about having revision.  At least not on my end anyway.  I do wonder how things would be different if I had gotten the RNY approval, and kind of wish that had happened, but I can't change it.  I truly hate Blue Cross Blue Shield NC.  They're horrible and don't care about their customers.

7.  Have I mentioned I'm lactose intolerant since surgery?  Milk is not good to my tiny tummy.  It makes me dizzy, have a racy heart, and nauseated.  Sometimes that feeling eventually turns into a torn up tummy.  Sugar does the same thing.  So why the other night did I decide to have a few bites of ice cream with Mr. Banker?  I learned quick... ice cream is a No No!

8.  I love Mr. Banker.  Like head over heels, when I see him nothing else matters, I want to shout it from the rooftops type of love.  I hope one day he feels that for me.

9.  I am planning to go on a trolley pub tour tonight with a couple of friends.  I've wanted to do it for a long while, and when this opportunity came up I was excited.  But part of my post-op WLS diet is no alcohol for 3 months.  I broke it last time, and I'm really trying to be a more compliant patient this time.

10.  Tomorrow makes 4 weeks since surgery, so I'll be allowed to begin exercising again!  I'm excited for that, but at the same time, dreading it!  Especially as exhausted as I've been.  But I'll fit it into my schedule somehow.

    I'm glad that things are well since the surgery. And I hope you get the news you want!

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

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!
