Weight training prior to tummy tuck



Recommended Posts

I'm just 2 shorts weeks from my scheduled Tummy Tuck. I'm making a last ditch effort to weight train (arms) and build my stomach muscles. The surgeon wasn't sure how much muscle I had and the condition of them after a C-section and VSG. Has anyone worked extra hard before their TT to build muscle and do you think it helped? Any advice on things I should wear after (sports bra) and things I should have in the house? Thanks for any guidance.

I had a Tummy Tuck years ago and a boob job last year. It's so worth it. I'm curious how all woo look after I drop my weight .

I'm also 2 weeks away from a full Tummy Tuck, breast lift/ augmentation and arm lift! I have been working out alot, doing alot of ab work, push ups, and strength training.. My surgeon told me the better shape I'm in prior to surgery the better the outcome will be cosmetically and the easier the recovery will be... Good luck and I hope everything goes well with your surgery!!

Once I had my drains out, this was awesome!! My dr. said that the longer I wear some kind of compression, the better the result. Wore compression for about 4 months.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
