38.5 Weeks Pregnant

Hi everyone...

Long time no write, I know I know.  So here's the deal... I have been BAD with food.  So BAD.  At my weekly OB checkup 2 weeks ago, I lost 4 pounds in 1 week and my doctor told me not to keep up that trend.  I took his order a bit seriously, and went kinda crazy the following week and found those 4 pounds plus 1.  But, I'm still under pre-pregnancy weight so I shouldn't fret I guess?

I'm feeling pretty miserable.  I'm tired of being pregnant, even though my belly is still quite small considering I'm almost due.  Baby Boy has dropped significantly and there is a lot of pain/pressure in my pelvis.  Bottom line is, I am just ready to have this baby here in my arms.  I'm ready to see Mr. Banker get to hold his son for the first time.  I'm ready to not hurt anymore and not moan and groan when I have to get up off of the couch.

I've had quite a few maternity shoots now.  One of my dear WLS friends introduced me to a cool website called Model Mayhem where professional photographers are looking for models to shoot for their website.  In exchange, you get your photos for free.  I've been truly lucky to get a lot of great shots.  Saturday Mr. Banker and I did a shoot together, and it felt less like work and more like fun with him there with me.  I've only seen 2 photos so far from that shoot, and will post a few of my previous shoot photos as well:

    That's a really shitty thing for your aunt and uncle to do. I know you already know this but I'm going to tell you anyway. You can't worry about these people. They are horrid for doing this to you and you know you were trying to do the right thing. That's all that matters. They can think what they want. Your dad can think what he wants. You have a baby coming that's going to bring you so much joy and that's all that matters right now.

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

Shake Shake Shake, Shake your...... blender ball!

  I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Donna for introducing me to MyBariatricPantry.com !!!!  They sell protein powder by the tub or in samples (as well as other products).  I chose to go with 35 different samples. If you've been reading my blog for a while, you know I've always been the "I hate protein powder" type of girl. Not anymore. So I wanted to share that with you. So far I have tried: Syntrax Nectar Roadside Lemonade Syntrax Nectar Chocolate Truffle Syntrax Nectar Caribbean Cooler Matrix Mint Cookie  (mmmmmmmmm) The Matrix Mint Cookie seriously tasted like a mint chocolate chip milkshake (but melty).  I bet if I put it in a blender with some ice, it would be as good as a milkshake. I will be buying that one in the huge tub!  All have been great so far though! Also, every single morning it seems like I see a new lower number! Eff yes!
