Medical interruption

[peacemom]

I had a minor surgery last week on Friday and was freaked out when I got on the scale Sunday and found I had GAINED weight.

I did cheat in the recovery process -- ate some graham crackers when waking up from anesthesia, and ate a turkey sandwich on rye before going home.

But I have been completely back on track since. I know by the way my clothes fit that I am smaller by inches. My friend says that I probably was so pumped full of glucose (had at least 5 bags) that it was not a true reading.

So, I decided not to weigh myself this week. I'm afraid to. I don't want to find out I gained. Am I too psyched out here? I don't want to get into a mental battle here with the scale.
Oh, I've also not been able to exercise till I get clearance again.

HELP

Re: Medical interruption

I think you will be OK it is just a little detour. Just make sure when you get back you are working the rungs properly and add in the exercise gently so you don't injure yourself.
