6 Month Update

Hey there everyone, haven't been on here in FOREVER!! So much has been happening in my life! I wanted to give a brief update (also as usual will plug my YouTube videos which I also did a 6 month update my username: scneaux) I'm down 75 pounds and in a size 6!! I have not been feeling 100 % though. I think I might have a HERNIA...I've been having inclement pain and a bulge above my largest incision (remember, the one where I had the ABCESS??) I've been dealing with it awhile now, and sort of putting it off since I have no insurance at this time (Aetna dropped me when I went to renew and found out I'd had this procedure, another whole rant on that) anywho, I am about to just break down and go see about it, its becoming more and more uncomfortable and I know it has to be dealt with.

 

On another note, we did have our Key West vacation and it was FABULOUS! I was able to walk and do whatever I wanted, even though I lost my voice and had this aching pain in my abdomen..grrrrrrrr...I did manage to go snorkeling and see some really beautiful sunsets. We rented a suite (and a hot little Camero..whooo hoooo) and all was right with the world even for a few days. Well, Sorry I missed the 5 month update, but all has been good with me regarding food issues (I eat whatever I want) the trick for me is to eat FREQUENTLY. I promise to keep this blog up for those who are new and need information!

Sorry to hear you might have a hernia, guess you should check that out, could get worse. Congrats on the 75lbs!!! Also good for you on your KW trip, I LOVE that island. Are you still exercising often? Size 6, awesome!

Fabulous news, I miss seeing you around here. But, I'm elated that life is well for you. Definitely get that pain/bulge checked out. Hernias are no fun, but easily repaired.

Can you tell me what the hernia feels like? I am wondering if I have one. As much detail as you can share would be really helpful.

Thanks for sharing your 6 month update, I will definitely go check out your youtube videos.

Thank you for updating us. It sounds like you are having great fun (well except with the bulge).
