Oh I'm losing it...I need in! Get me a dumbell or something! I can't stand this! I was driving with my daughter the other day, who, being three, said, "I need to go pee-pee on the potty, NOW!" and there was my gym. I pulled in, real fast and got her into the locker room...(we made it) but it broke my heart. Oh - the longing!! The clank of the weights, the smell, the loud music.

I look into the mirror and I see what I need to do - I can see the ab muscles now - I know exactly what I need, even with the swelling, I can tell - obliques on the ball - totally. I am already getting that little crease down my middle - I need the roller ball to really pop those obliques out. OH!! Don't even start me on the lower ab stuff. I never longed for the roman chair before, but now I won't be squeezing my flab everytime I lift my legs up...Flat...Hard... it is in there - just needs to be set free!

My butt is all crazy, but I know, squat machine, glute lifts, lunges with weights - I can fix this. I can make this look good...but no...not yet...have to wait... but....starting to feel....twitchy...

I think I'm grinding my teeth at night. I raised my voice at my son today - I mean - I need the gym! I did this every day! How am I suppose to adjust?? What do I do?? Ask for valume?

I do still have some percocet. Maybe I'll just sleep through the next two weeks.....need.....bench press........have to......feel the burn!!....

(I need a smiley face that twitches and goes berserk!)

grrrrrr....This is a whole body sensation. I need to get back in there.....I'm really feeling strange folks. I had no idea it could get like this. Hey - does that mean this is an addiction? (Who me? addicted to the gym?...go on...)

You can do it! I had to wait 3 months before I could work out after my PS.....2 weeks will just fly on by! Beofre long, you will forget the suffering of withdrawal.

3 months! #@$% that.

gina I hear ya. Just keep asking your surgeon what you may be cleared for and if he does clear you for something to do. Thats all you can do.

Im sorry and I feel your pain.

I think you're ALL crazy! But I know how much it means to you, Gina! Here's hoping 2 weeks flies by!

But I'm sure I'm not allowed to lie on the floor and kick my feet. It might pull something!

I guess I'll survive, but this feeling is nuts. At least after my bypass they let me walk on the treadmill. But can't even do that till 3 weeks, and still no lifting for another two or three. Lord give me strength!

John - you can bet I'll be asking on Thursday (last drain out) or Tuesday (follow up with surgeon) what I can do. It will only be two weeks this Friday, so I know I have a lot of healing to do inside. I can feel my abs are still like rocks. But maybe thats a good thing - until I overdo it and rip something.

Ugh...

Thank you Marie - as always - you are such an inspiration! I am humbled! Three weeks is really nothing compared to three months - I'd better stop complaining!!

No my fellow gym rat, I am not to do anything physical for three weeks. I have an incision all the way around my body, plus whats on my boobs and I am all stiched up inside, where he tightened my abs to pre-child birth form. The more I do, the more I'll swell up too.

But Marie just put me in my place, very gently I might add, so I am now going to get Zenfully into the whole thing. (That is like Zen Buddism, not like Zen/Laura, though she is another hero of mine who tomorrow will be getting a matching incision.) I'll stop complaining and just heal peacefully.

I hope...
