I hope you feel better  

thanks melissa 

I feel your pain. Just got over a major blah-fest myself. Be patient and be good to yourself. Rest and tell anyone annoying you to take a hike. XOX 

When are you scheduled for surgery? 

not sure yet i go monday for an abdominal ultrasound so they can see the hernia and the cyst on my ovary and then i guess set me up to meet with the surgeon to figure out how and when to do the surgery... they need to hurry up though cause its excrutiatingly painful 

OMG Lauren I feel your pain! I have had a hernia for 4 years now, it's been reduced once several years ago and came back within a year. It hurts every stinkin day! I will hopefully be getting it taken care of in a year or so, as I have to wait to have some PTO accrued at my job. 

ive had mine since 2005 but didnt know thats what it was because up til 3 years ago the doctors kept telling me it was scar tissue from my c-sections. then 3 years ago i was supposed to go into work and didnt feel good, was so bad i almost stayed home...but being the responsible person that i am i went in anyways...well wasnt even there an hour when i was doubled over on the floor of the daycare bawling because it hurt so bad. even then my boss didnt want me to leave to go to the er but i didnt really care at that point...well come to find out that it was a hernia and thats the same time i found out about the cyst on my ovary..which may or may not still be there but as of right now im not even sure if i still have it. not sure what they will wanna do with that if it is still there on top of the hernia surgery...guess ill find out when they feel its time to tell me. all i know is right now its too painful to workout or anything the way i want to and know i need to in order to lose this weight...somethings gotta change and its something that only the doctors have control of...dont like it when i dont have the control over myself or my body but it is what it is. 

remember you don't have to work out to loose the first 13 kilo, i am living proof of that! Get the weight off, and lessen the pressure on your back. 

yeah the pressure in my back has gotten worse from this thing too. have to basically roll onto my floor when i get up in the mornings especially if my bladder is full...there just doesnt seem to be enough room in my stomach without it pressing against all my other organs and shifting them around. 

Awww that must be awful! Can't believe she didn't want you to go to the ER. Hope the docs can do something soon.  

me too im tired of being incapable of everything
