It’s hard to believe today is 7 weeks post DMX with DTI Reconstruction. I thought by 4 weeks I’d be back to my normal self - I can laugh at that thought now because I was completely WRONG. I’m still not even half way there - though I am very thankful for my progress. I owe it to my plastic surgeon for scaring me into eating all of the protein and lowering the carbs so my reactive hypoglycemia would stay in check meaning less complicated healing. I’ve had a few bumps in the road - the cording I’m currently experiencing, the blood blister (THANK YOU BODY for not being necrosis - Since I was too neurotic to quit vaping nicotine a month before my surgery and quit 6 hours before ) that I had to treat with Santyl but overall I’m very happy with how my foobs have turned out. I’m still confined to my 2014 (judge me, buying food is more important than buying bras) sports bras - it actually hurts not wearing a bra. I’ve walked 2 miles the past 4 days as well as cleaned. I haven’t touched nicotine or medical marijuana in 7 weeks Before surgery, I thought I was healthy - that was a lie. I couldn’t go an hour without eating without my blood sugar plummeting, I vaped my face off, I worked out for 2.5 hours a day every single day, I lived off of carbs (the vicious cycle of low blood sugar over and over) - absolutely none of that was healthy. I may be underweight, I may still have bad ED thought days, but I appreciate and love my body for all that it does rather than how it looks. I lost all of my muscle and stamina, so what? I’ll get it back when I’m able to hit the gym without pain. I’m in a good place mentally, a better place than I’ve been since I can remember and I’m happy. #mastectomy #breastcancer #breastcancersurvivor #recovery #edwarrior #edrecovery #ednos #anxiety #depression #mentalhealth #mmj #adultswitheds #bopo #bodypositivity #selflove #scars #stretchmarks #looseskin #fitness #fitnessjourney #positivevibes https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnb6-JWFVS0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1t0aec8hzp51n -- source link
