Another Health Update

One year and 8 days after being placed, my colostomy was successfully reversed!! 

Just as I encourage my clients to prepare for labor, birth and postpartum, I did some things to be ready for surgery.

• I literally trained for this surgery.  I lifted heavy weights three times a week, did zone 2 and HIIT cardio, as well as walking at least 5 miles each day.
  
• I worked on increasing my daily protein intake.
  
• I prioritized getting good sleep.
  

My doctors and nurses were impressed with how well I could move after surgery.  My home health nurses are amazed at how quickly the wound where my colostomy was is healing. I am taking the advice I give clients for the postpartum period.  I continue to focus on eating lots of protein and resting well. I am being very mindful to gradually ease back into my normal routine, while listening to my body to make sure I’m not doing too much too soon. 
I will continue to focus on recovering well so I can get back to the work I love while serving the most wonderful clients I could ever ask for.
