Okay so scale yesterday reflected 224.4 and today is back down to 222.0; I am pretty sure that is from overdoing it on Monday with the treadmill. Everyone keeps telling me to remember that I am not yet even 4 weeks post op and this was a major surgery. It will take 6 to 8 weeks for my body to even start to get resituated, but days like yesterday are terrible. I felt like I was just not me...brain fog...unable to concentrate...irritable...crying. *sigh* I have to remind myself that it is okay to feel this way, but I don't want to expose others to that. How do you just cry and tell your husband that you can't explain why. I worry that he will immediately think I need some medication instead of realizing this is a process for my body to go through.
So yesterday I picked up some collagen (it only has Type 1 and 3) and kicking myself for not checking the types. I think the more types the better and there are some out there, but I will work this one in and then improve. I was going to Costco and left my card at home. How did I do that? Well I have had to change to a tiny light purse right now and it doesn't have a LOT in it, and certainly doesn't have my Costco card in it. Picked up a B-Complex. The lady that helped me said she had the same procedure I had (in her late 20's) and never needed HRT. That was like a message from my Mama. I also picked up estrovera (natural) at the pharmacy to work in daily it should start helping.
My Daddy called me this morning and I asked him how old my Mama was and why she had the procedure done. He said mid to late 30's and complications; he couldn't really remember. I asked him if she was a crazy person afterward. He said "no your Mama was always laid back and never needed HRT". That made me feel better, too. So I just need to try to be extra kind to myself (not sure how) for the next 4 or 5 weeks. I know now why so many women aren't released to go back to work for 6 weeks after the procedure.
I tried a new recipe yesterday corned beef radish hash...it was delicious. Talked to my daughter (that made me feel better). Talked to my sister and she told me the same stuff...stop pushing myself and take it easy I am still healing and it is okay to "not feel good".
So now to try very hard to focus on work and get the things done that I need to get done...that is stressful in, and of, itself.
Try to be kind to yourself and I will try my best to take my own advise.
