Incisions have to be completely healed.. You run the risk of infection otherwise

I started swimming at about 2 weeks. Just make sure that your incisions are healed.

I am far too body conscious still, though I LOVE being in the Water, I can't wait until I feel comfortable enough in my own skin to be in a public pool!

I just had my one week follow up this morning and was cleared to swim. I live on cape cod and my whole life during the summer revolves around the beach. I can't wait to get in the water!! But alas, it's still a little cold. : (

I love the cape, it's my favorite day trip. P-town in October and lots of parking with no crowds. Driving around exploring little towns and fresh roadside seafood. September and October are the best months in seaside towns. The tourists really don't know what they're missing.

I live near Little Compton RI (just a couple houses away from the town line). And I grew up on Aquidneck Island in Newport. My whole life has been spent a stone's throw from the ocean. When I was smaller it was always a part of my life to go swimming in the evening, after the tourists were gone. It seems like only locals love the beach in the evenings. The beach was where I had make-out dates with my husband (before and after marriage), swimming, crabbing, and clamming with the kids, hot dog roasts and evening fishing with beach bonfires - all wonderful things I haven't done in fifteen years or more. I'm hoping I will feel comfortable enough to go for a cooling swim after a hot summer day. I haven't done that in years!

I used to dread each new summer but now we have so much to look forward to!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
