Hi everyone!
So yeah, I am freaking out a bit about having surgery next Monday but trying to keep busy at work for the time being. I go in for my pre-op tomorrow so i can ask more detailed questions of my doctor (will I have a drain? uggg!)
I've decided that after surgery I will not weigh myself - lol, well, at least that's the plan. I am going to take measurements ONLY. As soon as I am given clearance, I am going to go to the gym and start weight training. I plan to do little to no cardio (Boooooring! I HATE cardio in the gym - riding a bike outside, playing sports and walking - LOVE those things). I will be doing supersets so I will get a cardio benefit from that.
So we'll see how it goes - I hope for little to no complications. I think my worst enemy will be nausea. The doctor said that it is common after surgery and I have seen quite a few of you suffer from it. My hope is that if I have to have it, it only lasts a day or two. But he has been very upfront that it could last for weeks.
I will have limited access to internet after my surgery (live in the boondocks), but I will try and come back to update everyone on how I am doing.
To everyone that is about to go into surgery, good luck! To all of you that have had your surgery, I hope you are feeling well and healthy!
