Life after surgery
I have been very satisfied with my weight loss. I have been exercising every day, but I have not been on the elliptical for a while. I have been walking 1 to 2 times per day. When I walk, I go at least a mile and usually carry small hand weights (most recently I started using 3 lbs). This Saturday we walked the dogs to the dog park and had a little picnic. I enjoyed some water and my wife and daughter had sandwiches.
The last 4 or 5 days I have not been feeling very well. I have been very tired and in general, feel sore and worn out. I have had discomfort and occasional dull pain in my abdomen, particularly on the left side, just below my rib cage and just to the left of the sternum. Yesterday I was periodically having a sharp pain in my abdomen above my belly button. It would last from 1 to 3 seconds and then subside. I have been having a feeling of pressure and gas in my lower abdomen. I have been having regular bowel movements, about once per day. I think today I will call my doctor as I am starting to get a little worried.
Have to run off to work, will try to write more later…
