I just sneezed for the first time since surgery and it felt like my port incision was going to split open

F*&^ING OUCH!

    Yes and it was terrible! Try holding a pillow to your tummy...it helps, but not much sadly.

I enjoy working at the clinic however there is alot of bitchiness between the receptionists and some of them really frustrate me. Last week there was a new receptionist who I found out had lap band and she was such a great help. So I go in to work today and for some reason she was unable to work so there was another lady there.

KAT VON D, PEACHES GELDOF & KELLY OSBOURNE = UNIQUE - These girls epitomise everything I would love to be - They're gorgeous, curvy and unique - Tatts are amazing. You either love them or hate them.

Measurements!

So I decided to do some measurements today just out of curiosity I didn't expect to lose many cm's but my clothes are now getting looser and looser by the second! My jeans basically fall off me (doesn't help that I initially bought them a size too big!) I am super excited for surgery on Friday I've never been to hospital, and although I'm a little scared, I know this is a good thing for me
