5 weeks post op

Wow! It's been quite the roller coaster of emotions. But, since about 1/2 way through week 3 I saw the "light" at the end of the tunnel. I am at 5 weeks from my surgery date today. I'm feeling good and almost back to all of my normal routine. The only thing I still can't do is pick up my baby. My dr. said she wants me to wait the full 6 weeks, which is one week exactly from today. This week I'm supposed to lift light weight objects and start to get my strength back before I lift her next week. I have an appt. next Wed. to check the incisions and make sure everything looks 100% before they give me the go ahead to lift her. They know I can't afford any more time away from my kids and so that's why I'm being so careful, so I don't have to re-heal.
I tried on a few shirts today and am loving how I look. I also am loving that I chose this. I have a huge respect for my body after having 4 kids and all the pregnancy, labor, recovery, breastfeeding and the toll it took on me. This is like a present to myself for all I've gone through and been able to accomplish with my body.
Can't wait to continue this journey!

Tired of being achy and tired

I am soooooo happy I did it. Surgery went great. Recovery great too. But, I'm tired, achy and sore. EVERY day. By the end of each day I'm exhausted. Did this happen to anyone else? I have 4 kids aged 7, 4, 2 and 10 months. I have help each day, but have started doing some dishes, changing diapers, laundry and sweeping the floor. I need some positive feedback to know I will fill normal again. Every day I feel is getting better, but the problem probably is I add responsibilities to it b/c I feel better, which makes me exhausted. I'm following the rules, no lifting, pushing, pulling anything heavy. Any tips? Any kind words to get an exhausted momma through the next few days of recovery?

SOoooo nervous, just want to get it done!

It's Thursday evening and I have surgery at 8:15am on Monday morning. I've been going through checklists trying to get everything accomplished. I can't turn my brain off. I just want to get it done. I'm so nervous to get it done. I am trying hard to focus on other things, but this is all I can think about. The prep, the nerves, the worries, the hope of the end result.

I so hope it's worth it. I felt this way when pregnant, only able to focus on that (especially when labor was impending). I'm just hoping this is the right choice for me b/c it's a lot to go through without "having" to have a medical surgery and recovery.

Please turn off my brain.
