My accomplishments so far today:
- I cleaned out my system (finally!).
- I completed my 1.25 milk walk to Dunkin' Donuts and back (pretty tiring towards the end, but still felt really good).
- I can stand up nearly straight without it pulling or hurting.
- I have lost nearly all of my post-surgery weight.
"Post-surgery weight? What's that?" you ask.
I, too, was unfamiliar with this concept until the evening I arrived home after my operation and stepped on the scale, hoping to have lost a couple pounds from the weight of the fibroid.
Imagine my surprise (and dismay) to see that I had instead managed to gain 8 pounds in less than 12 hours!
A lot of it must have been the fluid they pumped into me immediately post-surgery when they were trying to get me to pee on my own. Maybe my swollen internal organs were also filled with extra fluid?
In any case, after 11 long days, the weight is nearly gone. Not bad considering I have been devouring all sorts of forbidden foods in quantities much greater than I typically eat.
Clearly, in light of these achievements, I treated myself to a pumpkin donut in addition to the delicious, large coffee I had been longing for.
