Ah yes..it did NOT play well with my other organs and got kicked out of the club. I was hospitalized for 5 days and it came out laproscopically on day 3. Good grief I do NOT wish that pain on anyone...well...maybe some choice past boyfriends who shall remain nameless lol.

Life without it is interesting..not only do I have 6 NEW incision marks on top of the VSG ones from January but also...no more fried or greasy foods for good. Which I totally consider a good thing! I never lookd at those as completely off limits before now..but whew wee..they sure are!

Doing better post op wise..my checkup is Sept 23rd...and we'll see! I lost 6 pounds in the hospital alone lol. And also..I thought the only surgery I was ever going to have again was the plastic variety.

So I totaled my car on June 18th, 2011. Serious accident that has obviously left me carless, and with severe elbow/arm injuries bc my arm was propelled into the windshield by the airbags. Probably going to need surgery to fix my Ulnar Nerve Damage and this is tearing me up. I started this Journey at 312..day of my VSG-301..now almost 6 months our..I'm only down to 261 and I am going to stall. I was working out regularly at One Life Fitness here in Norfolk regularly..but since the accident I haven't been able to so much as lift my arms while recovering from all the bruising...and it just upsets me so damn much.

Had this not happened I'd still be off and running and be OUT of the 60's! I've been here now since my 4 month check up..and it worries me that I'm gonna catch hell from my surgeon..car accident or not. I just need to get better and get back to being me and continue my weight loss...but working out is old hold untill I get cleared by PT/OT..and that doesn't look like its gonna happen with this type of injury.

Dont know what to do....

NERVOUS to say the least?! What is my blood work gonna look like...I know its gonna be bad bc I am not taking vitamins like a stupid person. Have I lost enough weight? Am I on track? Am I gonna get yelled at?

I'm just slightly worried about this. I dont like feeling nervous...and my appt is tomorrow at 2:25 with Dr. Mann. I haven't seen him in like 2 months and I just wanna look different in his eyes and for him to be happy with the results. I know I'm getting there!

I'm finding it harder and harder to get my multivitamins in! I take a everyday womans multivitamin, calcium citrate, b-12, and whey protein powder. I knwo I need to get it in DAILY. But I haven't ben. And I have no other reason except laziness! I gave up trying to find different ways to get it in my system. I can grind it up into nothingness..but seriously..there are only so many days I can eat yogurt or applesauce in the morning.

Frustrated...BUT...weightloss is still on track. Got stuck in the 280's, and 270's but I'm past it and am in the 260's. I shouldnt say STUCK..it just took me longer to get through them!!

Otherwise doing great! Am so thankful I met a friend on here. She is an absolute ANGEL! Sheka is doing soo great with her journey and past the benefits onto me. With Clothes!!

I have officially hit the 40 Pound Mark. SO EXCITING! I have never lost this much weight in my life at one time! I have so much more energy, I can keep up with my daughter and I'm totally psyched about joing a gym and getting my ass kicked by a personal trainer! Exciting Times!!
