6 weeks post op and back to core exercises
Apr 10, 2012
My trainer reminded me today that it was time to start core exercises.....why does he remember that? Anyway - it was ok. My side is sore - oh yeah - I have kidney stones. They developed at 4 1/2 weeks. PAIN for about 6 days and then I decided to stop with the liquid vicodiene. It's been much better. I've had to strain my urine which has been a pain in the a** honestly and I haven't found any stones yet. I go back to the urologist on Friday for follow up. He said they may have to "go get them". UGH I really don't want them to have to do that. I'm really hoping that they've just broken up and passed along their merry way. We'll see. But back to the progress. I'm around 265 or so right now. I'm not really getting worked up over the scale numbers and that's good. Whatever happens, happens I guess. I am trying to track all my food though. I definitely don't want to slip into eating too much. I doubt that will actually happen right now. My restriction is pretty good. Stress has been ok - work is normal crazy. I saw my therapist for the first time last week since the surgery and I'm not sure but I may need to switch to someone who has worked with a post-op WLS patient before. She actually told me how she cut down on sugar by stopping adding it to her coffee.....she actually offered that advice to me....ME....(at that time) 5 weeks after cutting out half my stomach....sheesh. She's nice and I'm glad I had her during my pre-op. I wish her well but I may need to switch. Other than that - things are fine. I'm trying to adjust to my clothing size. That's been hard. I haven't parted with any of my "big" clothes. That needs to happen though. Soon. I think that will be a big milestone for me. I hope I can really processs the emotions of that and not just ignore them like I normally do. I'll keep you posted.
