Surgery was just one week ago yesterday...and I feel about 90% back to normal! It's amazing to be able to eat without fear of having a gall bladder attack!
What's even more amazing is that despite the fact that I only lost 5lbs from surgery, the pants I bought a mere 6 days before surgery are HUGE! Girls, you know that feeling when you have been trying to lose weight and your "fat" jeans are finally too big? It's amazing! I can actually pull my jeans off without unbuttoning or unzipping them! I was so happy when I found out that I screamed with joy...and Ryan was off the couch running because he thought I was in pain. LOL! Poor hubby. I'm not really sure why my jeans are so big after only losing 5lbs, but I have theorized that my gastrointestinal system and the surrounding tissues were so inflammed due to the lack of function of my gall bladder that removing the gall bladder decreased the bloating and inflammation and consequently made my jeans fit looser. Whatever it was, HALLELUJAH!
I have resolved to change my attitude concerning my running. I have decided that healing my body is the most important thing right now and I will run when I'm healthier. For the rest of 2010, I will concentrate on building myself back up by walking (maybe a little jogging now and then) and strength training. I want to be ready for 2011 when I will start up my serious training again.
My ultimate goal: 2012 Fort For Fitness Mini Marathon.
