    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.
