Today is the big day! I'm up next! See ya'll on the losers bench.

Valentine's Day, received chocolates, gave away chocolates. I love chocolate, but I'm not its slave anymore. Do I know how long that will last? Nope! But I am grateful for every moment of denial.

Yay! The 2 week stall has been broken!! I dropped 2lbs!!!

This pre-op diet is killing me! I can't think, my eyes and back hurt, and I'm HUNGRY!!! I can't keep my mind off of food :-(

I love this site. It's so supportive and informative. We should give some members there own VSG MD license....lol

I am sooooo full. I've been full for the last five hours. I want to drink water, but I don't think I have the space!!!

After all the testing to find out what's going on with me, the doctor noticed that my liver level was high which indicates gall bladder issues. I'm going in for further testing tomorrow. Please pray for me.

I'm thinking about cancelling my gallbladder removal. I'm going to try to dissolve it naturally while I look for a doctor that does contact dissolution. I am soooooo scared.

In the last week, I've kind lost my motivation. Work is so tiring and I'm so behind on things. I'm really concerned about this gall bladder issue because I don't want it removed. And, I haven't been eating or exercising properly. I've gained two pounds. I know it's not alot, but I think it portrays my current emotions.

I went to a friend's birthday party last night and thought the DJ was pretty cute. So I worked up the courage to hit on him and got DENIED! :-( He wasn't interested and that was cool. It's better than leading me on, but I was so shocked that I even initiated anything. It was a let down, but I'm looking at this one as a score for Team Afro. #confidencebooster

Pre-Op diet is getting better. I had to up my calories because I was essentially starving myself. My stomach has stopped aching and my need for carbs has been reduced. I have a few more days then I move into a diet with no meal (all liquid). OAN: I wish I could get more days off from work after the surgery :-(

So they found a mass, they don't know what it is. It's kinda at the mouth of my gallbladder, but they are kinda baffled. I feel fine, not having any symptoms of a stone, so they are even more confused. My doctor is going to review it with a few of her colleagues then they'll probably send me for more testing. The bad reaction to the BC may have actually been a blessing in disguise. At least they'll be able to get ahead of this new medical question before it spirals out of...

It's been two weeks and I haven't had one stich of weightloss. I'm only a month and a half out. Initially I wasn't worried, but now this is causing concern.

I'm less than 10lbs from Onederland!!!!!

Hanging out at the Hotel Lucerna. Trish and Dr Kelly were wonderful! The staff were caring and gave excellent attention to detail. My dad was highly impressed. I had alot of uncomfortable gas but am doing much better now.

ALERT ALERT!!! I HAVE A COLLARBONE!!! Now back to your regularly scheduled program.....

Yay!!! My passport came in!!! I'll be a Mexico sleever in no time.

I'm slightly back on track. I lost the 2lbs gained. Finally stopped grazing food. And am a bit more encouraged to continue with my workouts. I'm almost done with my work day and it wasn't as terrible as it could have been. My short term goal is 5lbs in two weeks.

OMG I had two weak moments today. I was able to save myself from the first moment, but I guess two in one day was too much. I ate a huge pork burrito!!! How long will that take to get out of my system?!?! I'm going on full liquids for the next two days. SMH. I'm so disappointed in myself.

My workouts have been non-existent. I normally run on my treadmill when I can't get outside (it's been raining) but I've been working so late that I come straight home and crash.

Back to work after being sick. Birth control had me laid up. I was nauseas and vomiting for the past few days. Doctor thinks it was too many hormones since the fat that I'm losing also releases hormones. I'm still not 100% but much better.

I'm back home from gall bladder surgery. I'm not in any pain at all. Either I have a high tolerance or I choose excellent doctors because my recoveries have been so smooth.

Getting my gallbladder taken out Wednesday, I could not avoid it :-(

I tried on my new pair of 14W jeans and squeezzeedddd into them. I have a feeling that in a week and a half, I'll be in them with no problems. I wonder what a 12W equates to in regular women's clothes.
