First a little background. I have had three c-sections. After my first c/s I got a hernia. I had the hernia fixed after my second c/s (about 5 years ago). Now that I have lost over 100 lbs the patch from my hernia repair was no longer doing it's job, so last Friday I had it re-fixed. They opened me up, took out the old patch, rejoined my muscles and added a smaller patch for stability. All good.
However, now I am dealing with massive weight gain from all the IV fluids. I have dealt with this before, but not when I cared. I came home from the hospital, got on the scale to see how much I had gained (cause I knew I would) and had gained like 13 lbs. So frustrating to me.
I haven't been eating the best, I know. My pain meds make me feel icky, so I have been eating whatever sounds good. I know this will pass, right? I just feel like this is a huge step backwards for me.
My husband tells me not to worry about it, that it will come back off, but I just need someone other than him to encourage me. Anyone?
