surgery vent

hi all or who ever reads this,

 on the 20th of august i had a third surgery on my right ankle, 2nd one since last year. before that my hubs and i took a vacation back to boston, kind of a postponed honeymoon and i gained a couple pounds. so what. well, after coming home, i lost 10 pounds in two weeks while eating raw veggies/fruit and made everything myself, as i usually do. since the 20th i have put the 10 pounds and then some because i can't walk without crutches, and am now just starting to do ab workouts without worrying of falling over. the point of this posting is to express how annoyed i am that i'm getting way out of shape and it's going to be wicked difficult to get back where i was. has anyone been in this rut? and i'm not talking about getting pregnant because you can still run while being prego. oy.

I kind of have a similar situation. I was in a car accident last year, knee surgery in March. And I started doing yoga shortly there after. Then I got hurt / developed pain in my lower pelvis. They thought it was a variety of different things and over a year later and almost 30 lbs...I finally got my diagnosis. So I finally started physical therapy to correct the issue and working out every morning. So far I haven't seen a dramatic difference in the # on the scale, but the before / after photos of 2 weeks was a big difference. And my FI even tried to pinch my stomach last night and was like someone's toned up! I hardly have anything to grab. So just be paitent and stay motivated!

You lost ten pounds in two weeks?  You then gained ten pounds back in two weeks?

Something isn't right in Whoville.

Just be patient. I agree that something isn't right with what you have gained/lost. Also, some may be attributed to water retention due to swelling/fluids in your leg. Give yourself a break and recover from your surgery before you jump into working out again. You want to make sure you are fully healed.
