237?!

Yes, friends. 237. That's an increase of 12 lbs. How? You ask?
Surgery.
Friday morning at 9am I underwent a surgery to remove a (likely benign) tumor from my uterus.
The result? A thumb sized tumor out...and 12 lbs of fluids and swelling in. I won't lie, its hard to see. Because as those numbers don't move, I feel defeated, set back, sad. But the rational part of me says NO. These lbs WEREN'T there before. They are NOT mine and I WONT be keeping them.

Ill keep you posted. This just goes to show you that those fluctuations are normal and can happen, and bodies react to trauma in different ways. Be that trauma a period or a surgery. Keep in mind also, this was MINOR surgery. From admitting to discharging I was there for 5 hours.
Ill let myself freak if these lbs haven't left in two weeks.
For now...I'm celebrating my health, and a tumor I'm NOT gonna miss.

L'chaim.
