Ugggh, yucky night spent in the ER all because I am full of poop. It was very painful. I still haven't gone, but something must have shifted because I'm not in excruciating pain anymore. it ended within half an hour of arriving at the ER after hurting me for nearly three hours prior. I guess the one reason I went to the ER is the pain started after wrestling and playing with the baby. he was smacking my flabby tummy, so I started making my belly button talk. It was hilarious and I had him giggling hysterically. But after we put him to bed the pain started building gradually. I had been shaking my belly up and he was pushing on it, and then I started having severe pain. I honestly thought I had damaged something internally. I still waited for a couple hours to see if it would subside. I tried to use the bathroom, thinking it was possibly just gas or the need to go and got no response, so at about 11 I left my husband snoozing and drove myself in. I hobbled into the ER and went through triage and as I was sitting in the hospital bed in my beautiful hospital gown, the pain slowly subsided.
But there is a NSV in all of this. When I was at the hospital I was able to wear the regular sized hospital gown instead of the super gigantic plus sized gown. It even covered my hiney. I was really happy about that. :)
My food is all jacked up, I didn't eat this morning because I slept in and got to work late. I'm running on 4 hours of sleep right now and I'm exhausted. I have no idea what I'm doing for dinner, but I will choose something healthy. So this is what I have planned so far without dinner.
Food:
B: a handful of dry roasted peanuts, coffee with a packet of diet swiss miss cocoa in it. So yummy.
L: 2.2oz of albacore (plain) and a small tomato
D: no idea, but if we don't make something for the family, I'll likely have shrimp and veggies
s: P3 turkey, almonds and cheese

Good morning. Rough morning. Although I am technically banned from weighing myself until 11/17, I stepped on a scale this morning and have gained almost NINE pounds since my last dr. visit. They told me I would and that they'd help me lose it again when my labs stabilize but it put me in a panic. I did not do this surgery to GAIN weight and I swore that I'd never see the 140's again. I'm creeping very close to that number and it's freaking me out. Ok, rant over. I recognize my health is more important than a number on the scale, but ugh . . . I know my complaining over and over and over and over about my labs and my weird eating requirements must get old. . . thanks all for indulging me and letting me get my frustrations off my chest.
Here's my food plan for the day. Going to try and stick to it even though every fiber in my body wants to restrict my calories:
B: Turkey, spinach and 1 oz mozzarella
S: Somersaults
L: Left over skirt steak and 1/4 pear
S: light and fit and PB
D: Turkey burger, ultra thin slice of provolone cheese, grilled onions
Totals: Cal. 1,008 (under my 1,200 goal) Protein: 105g; Fat: 46g; Carbs 40g
I'll do my first kickboxing class since the half marathon on Sunday. Hopefully my legs won't give out on me.
