One month. Reflecting.

So, going through this has been a roller coaster ride of emotions. But lately, it had been mostly positive. I cannot stress enough how happy I am that I decided to do this. I can't stop smiling over simple things like not having to part my lips to use the bathroom, or wearing cute underwear, or the feeling of being lighter and cleaner. I am still healing so I am still rather sensitive, but even sitting on the spot where I was sewn back together is a lot less painful than living with prominent labia.
It has also done wonders for my self esteem... something that I have struggled with for the past year. I gained about 50 pounds since moving to a new city last summer, and getting this done has really pushed me forward to actually caring about myself again. Since my surgery I have started eating better, and I am now cleared to work out!! I am starting slow but in a few weeks I expect to be back on track. I've already lost 6lbs since my surgery and it will only get better from here as I can become more and more active-- now able to reach levels I could never reach without extreme pain and discomfort.
It is just really amazing to me how much my entire being has changed over something so small, so easy, and something that only myself and my boyfriend get to see. But the confidence in myself will radiate outwards... And no one has to know my little secret! Haha.

3 weeks!!

Popping in fora three week update. I have my post op checkup tomorrow.
Needless to say, I am a happy camper!! I am looking forward to being able to resume exercise and vagina-related activities.

I am sick of stretch pants!!!

I have two pairs of black "joggers", one pair of weird tribal print "joggers", and a pair of dark gray pajama pants that I am trying to pass as not pajamas. This is all I've worn in public in 2 weeks. Athletic shorts look weird on me so they are find for the house but not for the ocular consumption of others.
I tried leggings twice with terribly itchy and uncomfortable results. But I am getting my hair done tonight and I am trying jeans!! Well... "Jeggings"... But this is a big step!! I figure sitting in a chair for a bit will be fine, as long as I mind any ride-up or digging. Wish me luck.
