I met with my surgeon last Monday about options to fix my hernia. (If you didn’t know already, I got a hernia in July from overdoing it when I was working out). Unfortunately, the procedure will require about about a week to recover and about 2 to 3 weeks of limited mobility with no heavy lifting (over 25lbs). With my schedule and with the holiday season coming up, plus it’ll be crazy at work…I won’t be able to have my surgery until after January. He also said that I shouldn’t do any working out until after I’ve had my surgery and have fully recovered. My condition is very minor and not physically noticeable at the moment but it could get a lot worse if I do anything strenuous. I feel so insecure and “blah” about my body since I haven’t been working out much. I was working so hard to try n bulk up and was actually seeing results…but now I feel as though I’m shrinking down to where I started. You might have noticed that I haven’t been posting many “Tigguhh” pics. I know I shouldn’t be feeling so insecure but it kinda sucks. :( I like to think positive so I know I’ll get over this…I just felt like venting. *sigh*
Dude you should post anyway. You look great no matter what ;-)
It’s your thoughts and wits that makes you even sexier Tiggah!
I wouldn’t worry too much… I think you look great haha
While I know that the surgery is not major, you must really of tore the area. If its a minor tear they try to let it heal naturally. If you talk to the surgeon, you probably could workout as long as you isolate the other muscles and don’t use heavy weights. In other words toning instead of muscle building.
I do sympathize with you, I screwed up my shoulders using a Smith machine when I was only use to using free weights. All I felt was fluid rushing from my shoulders and instant pain. I know I it has to be operated on but I refuse and lost about 30 pounds of muscle as a result.
hey tigz… you dont need to worry much about how you look… i guess majority of everyone who reads your blog and all your blog fans are in agreement when i say that you look hella good…
come on… cheer up now… =)
WTH!! if you feel insecure with “that”, how much more for us lower beings. LOLs. you look great! you shouldnt only workout to look great, its supposed to make you healthy. if it causes injury instead, then try to trim down a bit. but seriously, you’re GREAT!(CAPS and all)
