Weigh In & Surgery

Wednesday Weigh In:
Weigh In: -1
Total Lost: 2.4
Pounds to Lose: 100.8

I went to weigh in at 9:00am because my surgery was scheduled for 1:30 and I wasn't going to make the 12:00 meeting. I was surpised for my loss because all I've been able to eat lately is carbs and not a lot of healthy things.

Now, as you all know,  I had my gallbladder removed yesterday. The surgery went well and I am now at home recovering. Yesterday I didn't feel as much pain because I was on morphine and Vicodin but I woke up this morning around 4:00am and I was in pretty severe pain. I took some Vicodin and got back to sleep for a little bit but then woke up again at 7:00 and still felt pretty crappy. I couldn't take any more medicine until 8:00 and now I'm just counting down the hours until noon when I can take more.

I apologize for my chubby tummy, but here are my battle scars:

Cute huh? the surgeon said I had one HUGE gallstone that was causing the problem. Now it is gone though and I can get back to myself once I am recoverd. 

Want to know the worst part about yesterday? I've gained so much weight since my wedding that my ring was basically unable to be removed. The doctor would not take me back into the operating area unless it was off. Needless to say after all of the lotion, ice water, twisting and tugging... the ring wouldn't budge. So they had to cut it off. I cried like a baby. 

There it is. 

I have the ring insured at both Kay Jewelers and with a personal insurance policy and it shold be able to be fixed but I was still really upset. I think I was more upset that I had gotten so big that this had to happen. I was so embarrassed. I know it is just a ring, it can be fixed, it isn't the end of the world... but I coulnd't help but cry. The nurses felt horrible but I assued them it wasn't their fault that it happened. It was mine. 

Anyway.... the only other thing I have to say is that my husband is taking very good care of me and I am so thankful to have him. In fact, today he even painted my toe nails and is letting me watch whatever I want to! This morning has been Mystery Science Theater 3000 marathon on Netflix. Love it! 

Isn't he sweet? 

Anyway, I'm going to get some much needed rest and continue to drink tons of soda, chicken broth and water. Yum!
