About five weeks of no weigh-ins, and although I've gained a little, I'm not feeling too bad about it. I know exactly why I gained back the weight, and I'm on my way to fixing it.
Overall, I've been feeling like total poop lately. Not just physically, but emotionally, too. There's a lot of turmoil right now, some of which is subsiding, and some of which seems to continually spin in a neverending vortex of pain-in-the-ass-ness. I'm back in therapy (yay!) but I may also be heading back to my surgeon's office (boo!), because yet again, I have a bulge in my belly. I'm pretty sure this time that it's not another hernia; I think there's just more fluid accumulating in the pocket that the hernia left behind (also known as a seroma). And I'm having mysterious abdominal pain, sometimes after eating, sometimes not. Shaking the Magic 8-Ball that is WebMD yields scary results -- pancreatitis? IBS? I really need to lay off teh Intarwebs.
Anyhoo, I'm still here, and I managed to get my food under control this week. I upped my water intake, I laid off the Starbucks. Ate a lot more veggies. Next week I'm determined to get back in the gym, pain or no pain. I have to get those numbers moving back in the right direction!
