I haven't posted in a couple of months but all is going well.
The surgery went great. I couldn't be happier with my progress. Dr. Garcia did a great job. I'm fitting into things so differently now. It's SO strange not having the muffin top roll anymore. Everything got pulled up and it's wonderful.
Everything is still numb but I know it will take a long time for that to go away. I still wear my binder a lot. I was cleared to basically wear it when I want to last week. I feel a lot more secure with it on but I try not to wear it all the time to get used to it.
I weigh 169 today and I'm very happy with that. My new goal weight is 160. I'm not worried about 145 anymore. I don't think I would be happy with that weight. So yeah, 9 more lbs and I think I'll be happy with it but who knows? I'll be dealing with this for the rest of my life. I know I always have to be careful not to gain weight and ruin this surgery. When I'm PMS'ing, it's rough but I just need to get through that week and do better after.
I'm registered for a half marathon in October in Rhinebeck and I'm thinking about doing a 6-hour timed trail race in August but I want to see how the running goes. I've gone twice since I was cleared last week. The first time was rough but yesterday was much better. I'll keep ya posted!
