Well I have been called the old Bull Moose by my family for a long time now. Now this nick name came honestly, not because I could bugle like a moose but because I could move heavy items by myself with relatively no help. I owned it and was pretty proud of it until about February. I came home from work and was feeling very ill. Stomach upset and just kind of a sharp pain in my belly button area. I tried the normal remedy but to no avail. Eventually I just pushed on the area to see if it was tender and low and behold I felt a little pop and started feeling better. I knew right then that the years of 300lb air conditioners and whole couches by my self had just got their revenge. I had ruptured an umbilical hernia, but it did not hurt and rarely popped so I let it go. After I pulled and "ottendafay"......... you know something you otten do but do anyway, and moved some furniture by my self I had it popping anytime I was upright. I spoke to the doc and she said that I need to be referred to a specialist and I should take it easy. I said I was going be doing P90x to which she told me that it was not a good idea right now until I was seen. There is just too much pulling on the ab wall in the exercises.
So that advice being said I will reluctantly hold of p90x and just start walking. I have my surgery consult on Wednesday next week. I guess we will see if my greatest weight loss will be from a surgery that makes me sore and not hungry. We will have to wait and see.
til then,
Jess
