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!!!

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.
