After 2 days of a complete diet overhaul, I'm feeling much better. I still have a slight ache in my side, but I no longer have pain after eating. Well, that's not entirely true. Last night I had a bite (literally ONE bite) of Matt's cookie and suffered for about 2 hours from it. Other than that I've been eating pretty much a liquid diet. Smoothies, soups, tea, and lots of water. Nothing hard to digest, very little dairy, nothing with much flavor… It sucks for my taste buds, but works wonderfully for my gallbladder. I'll add things back in very slowly in a few days to see what I can tolerate and what I can't.
I went to boxing yesterday morning and just took it easy. I didn't do much in the way of an abs workout and I realized very quickly that it hurt to throw a punch with my right hand if I twisted my hips and put some force into it. I had to do more leading and guarding with my right and throwing punches with my left. Luckily, I have trained both sides evenly so it wasn't too awkward.
This morning I ran 4.5 miles on the treadmill. I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't hurt at all. I drank lots of water and stopped when I felt like I was probably pushing my luck.
Tonight it's back to feeling like a slightly pulled muscle instead of actual pain. I'm hoping by the end of the week it'll be resolved completely. Then comes the fun task of figuring out what I can eat, or more importantly, finding out if I can ever drink coffee again. That's something I won't be brave enough to try for quite a while. My Keurig is missing me terribly I'm sure. Thank God Matt drinks enough coffee to make up for what I haven't been drinking. I wouldn't want the Keurig to get lonely.
