That's wonderful, congrats!
Congrats!
Woohoo!
Okay, more exciting things happening this weekend!
I went shopping for a "festive" sweater/shirt for all the holiday events we have going on. I kept looking for long, drapey shirts that would go past my hips to hide my "apron." Then it dawned on me, I don't need to do that anymore! With so many new clothing style options I became overwhelmed and gave up looking. When the stores get a little less crowded and I have some free-time, I'm going to take an afternoon and try on a ton of clothes so I can get reacquainted with my new body. :)
Then yesterday we had our large extended-family Christmas. Every time I would go to a gathering I would grab a pillow to place on my lap when I sat down. This I used to hide the pouches of skin that would fold over my lap when I sat. I don't need to do that anymore!!! NO more pillows for me! Wooooot!!!
That is so wonderful!!
Yay! :D :D
Limewave, I'm so happy for you!!
Have fun shopping.
Yay for you!!!!
Limewave, finally had a chance to follow your saga and - boy you look terrific! I'm so happy for you.
1 Month Update!!!
Today is exactly 4 weeks since my surgery. I am so excited to say that all restrictions have been lifted. I can pick my kids up again to give them big hugs. I no longer need to wear an itchy binder. I can sleep on my stomach. This morning I woke up early, pulled on some thermal gear and went for a 2 mile run in the snow!!!! When I walked in the door, both my children were up early and I gave them giant, sweaty bear hugs. :)
I have many positives to be thankful for. There is swelling in my abdomen, so its bulging out some. This is normal. I'm also really bloated. I have a feeling this has to do with a combination of poor diet, lack of exercise, and recovering from surgery. I'm going to be eating a lot of leafy greens to work on shedding some toxins and water weight.
:)
Sounds like a great plan, be sure to drink a ton of water too. Really helped me after my breast reduction to flush out all the nasty stuff they do to you during surgery.
That's awesome! Congrats on the recovery. Sounds like you're well on your way :-)
