weight gain (may be tmi)

heres the dealio-

i havent worked out in about 3 weeks, because i felt i was still healing from my gall bladder surgery (my dr didnt give me any restrictions, but ive been extra tired and stuff lately idk why, and dont want to hurt myself and stuff. but my stitches are finally all healed, and so monday im going to start my routine again, which i was heavilty into.)

right after the gall bladder surgery, i recieved my monthly visitor 2 weeks early! right about now is when aunt flows suppose to be in town, so im feeling the normal warning signs of the matter, but im not bleeding or anything.

the scale says ive gained about 5 pounds. i dont get it, i will say ive been bad with protein a few days this week because all i did was poo whenever i ate anything monday night and all of tuesday. (poo issues always happen right before that time, so its nothing alarming).

im frustrated. hopefully once i go back to working my patooty off ill be back on track, but knowing im eating right makes it just get to me!! rawr!

and i think im starting to get number obessed. like omg can anybody tell i gained 5POUNDS!!

le sigh...

Hey sweetie~

Just wanted to chip in here and let you know that you aren't alone on being number obsessed, especially early on.  Just try not to worry about (which I will say is soooo much easier said than done).  Trust me when I tell you than you are gonna be the only one who sees that 5 lbs.  You are beautiful, inside and out, and 5 lbs does NOT show... ESPECIALLY at your height.

Just my 2 cents for the evening.

awww you made my early morning girl! mwah!

i think my horomones are driving me crazy, 2 periods in a month! yayyyyy.. thats prolly why im worrying about it way more then i should be. lol

Since we both had surgery around the same time (woot, go us!) you might be like me and actually lost a few lbs?  I lost like 5lbs but have since gained it back because I was restricted to liquids only for 3 days and I couldn't really eat after surgery because it was painful.  Now I'm back to normal and have gained but I think it's just because I am actually eating again.  I'm still within my comfortable range, so no worries. 

My incisions are still a little tender.  I've gone back to the gym but am taking it easy and I haven't tried any ab/core work yet.  They said that my hernia couldn't have been caused by exercise but I'm still being cautious because I do some hard core ab work when I do workout.  I've been really tired also, I think it's just our bodies healing.  I would gladly go to bed at 9pm every night if I could.  lol...

Take care and don't worry about the numbers, it'll even itself out.  Your body has been through a "trauma" if you will, and it will take awhile for the rhythm to get back.

thanks em :) im glad somebody else is experiancing something similiar. that makes a lot of sense, i wasnt on a liquid restriction, but i was barely eating the days after surgery when i was recovering.
so your point makes sense.
yeah i was in bed by 830p last night.. crazy stuff.. its good deep sleep too... love it. guess my bodys needing it.. its been like almost 3 weeks, i wonder how long this can last!

yeah the days after surgery i lost the water weight from the iv plus some, then this week its been the gain (could also be the funky period thing going on tooo..)

owells, your right, it will figure itself out <3

you rock hard!
