Thought I'd post before this gets lost on another page.
I have not given up (although I am being VERY slack)
As I mentioned before, I have to have surgery on the 16th, it's a bit more complicated than I was hoping. The doc has put me on pain medication, which has somewhat effected my diet. IT upsets my stomach, and I have to snack pretty much all day or I will feel sick, sweaty, and dizzy. It also makes me tired, so I ahve been slepping ALOT! As far as training, I'm not suposed to lift anything over 15 lbs until 2-3 weeks after surgery. I joked about 15lb bicep curls being ok then....um no! He meant if I HAD to lift something, it can't be over 15lbs. Also, he suggested that I don't do any intense cardio (light cardio - walking is ok after 1 week mark)
He suggested that Post-op I treat this like I had a hernia. (lay down flat 1st week, walking in week 2, maybe some swimming towards the end of week 2) It seems totally bizarre to compare it to this, but I will be friggn happy when everything is done!
Anyway, I have been trying to make healthy selections, and have been trying to do a little something everyday. Even if it's just walking, it's keeping me sane. I feel extremely gross, but I am getting excited for all this bs to end.
So, I know this was long, but I tought I better update, so you all don't think I gave up.
