Yesterday I finally got my cast off! Sadly I had to get a new one put on, but at least my new one cam come off when I'm sleeping and whatnot, so I am a lot more comfortable. PLUS I can finally shave my leg and (more to the point) weigh myself. Today I started back up at the gym and while I can't do any of the normal cardio I so enjoy I can work on the weight machines and build my upper body back up (now smaller from all the muscle loss). I also weighed myself for the first without a cast on since the surgery and I am down about 6lbs. It was more, but I have been trying to eat a lot more the past week or two to get my strength back up. Regardless, 6 lbs in seven weeks really isn't bad, though a lot of it is muscle mass. I'm not going to weigh in 'officially' until tomorrow, but at least I have a rough idea.
Now that I am going to the gym again I will surely stop losing and maybe even gain as my muscle mass builds back up, but at least my biggest fear of gaining weight from the surgery didn't happen. Now all I have to do stay the course and get my gym routine and eating totally back on track. That said, my friend/cousin Tiff is coming down this weekend and I expect to eat a lot.
