I've been really busy getting ready for my surgery, but I wanted to stop by and post that I have still been tracking my food and trying to exercise and I've lost 2 more pounds! YAY!
So how are you feeling? Ok about everything? I'm rooting for your quick & safe healthy recovery. Just think how much better it will all be once its over & done with & you are back to feeling good.
Awww...sweetie, thank you! I keep trying to think about how much better I'll feel, but I'm also scared to death because my surgery is in 2 weeks! I can hardly believe that it's coming up so fast. In my research, I'm reading that quite a few women experience some weight loss after surgery and I'm hoping to be one of them! It seems like a loss between 10 and 20 pounds is about average so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
Well, I've been home for a few days, but haven't had much energy so I'm just now posting.
The surgery took more than twice as long as it was supposed to because my uterus ended up being much larger than was thought. I lost some extra blood and had some trouble getting my pain under control in recovery, but I'm ok now. I do have a slight bladder infection (probably from the catheter) so I'm on a few days of antibiotics along with my pain killers, iron supplement, and daily stool softener. Besides that, I'm just TIRED and sore. I won't be back here much yet, but give me a couple of weeks or so!
Thanks to everyone who sent me messages and comments. It helps to know that there are people out there who care.
