44, Mom of 4 Looking Forward to "Finding Myself" Again! - Dallas, TX

Awe, thanks so much!!

Thank you, appreciate your kind words! Hope you are doing well!!!

Hi, doing much better now. Something happened (for the good) when I hit the 1 month mark. While I take it slow and still nap when I can, I also respect that I am healing and currently just started picking up my very heavy 1 year old (well, he turns 1 this Fri :). It is exhausting but I have help and my husband does as much as he can, too. It does take a village for sure! Having fun cleaning out my closet - I've lost 15 pounds since the surgery. I feel like a snake shedding its skin!!! Hope you are doing well, thanks for reaching out!

15 pounds? Congratulations! Wow. That's something to celebrate in itself! I'm doing as well as expected for day 16. Still tired & taking naps whenever possible. I'm sure your baby loves being in yours arms. My 3 year old keeps telling me he can't wait for my tummy to be better so he can climb all over me. Be carful still while picking up your soon to be 1 year old. You don't want to hurt anything inside. Happy continued healing! =)
