Wondering how long until I can get an all clear to work out fully. Right he wants me just doing light cardio. No weights what so ever. ESP upper body.
Right now I’m just doing treadmill😐

From personal experience: LISTEN TO UR DOC. I tried exercising too early, too many times, and paid a price (kept reopening incisions).

Oh no for sure I’m doing only what he has said I can. I was just wondering when most people were allowed to return to regular working out.
I’m just doing light cardio as he said I could.

LOL, failed to answer your original question. I was supposed to wait 8 weeks (but I did arms too, so that may be a factor...)

How did y’all feel the first time you went running after getting implants? How long did you wait to run?
How long did y’all wait to do sit ups after TT? I’ve asked my surgeon I’m just curious what others have done?

I had to go to a Title Nine women’s athletic wear store and get fitted for a super industrial strength sports bra. I can’t stand the feeling of the bounce! This thing keeps them TIGHT! The brand is Shock Absorber. It’s the only way I can run since surgery. I’ve been ok since about 8 weeks out doing sit ups.

Im a cautionary tale…in didnt have implants, but I did get a breast lift. I wasn’t supposed to do vigorous exercise (i.e., running) for 2 months i think, and yep, I went at 3 weeks, and busted open my stitches at by bra line in 2 places. Doc asked me again to wait 2 months. Then I went for a run at 1 month. Split them open again. Yeah, im a dumbass.

As for sit-ups, I started doing small crunches in bed around 6 weeks (around the time I could stand up straight with zero pain nor tightness)

Now you didn’t ask, but i’ll mention this anyway, lol My arm lift recovery was the worst of all my procedures and it wasn’t until about month 3 (maybe 4) that I was able to do full range of motion stuff…and even then my arms were a little tight.

BUT…from what I’ve read on here Im probably one of the worst-case scenario people! But i love my boobs/tummy/arms so its all good.

Title Nine? I will have to google that.
I’ve been given the all clear but I’m not a runner to begin w (unless I was being chased lol) but I do like the elliptical machine. I’ve been extremely cautious on what I do upper body -haven’t done any upper body weight lifting and w my stomach-no crunches yet. Kinda scared to mess something up even though I got a clear from surgeon to do them.
They said to start light. Haven’t done that yet. Just curious what others have felt after they started bk up again.

I wish I loved to run like that!
Think I’m being overly cautious
On the masks-lol I didn’t zoom in so I guess I thought it was a mask! I knew you had said in Canada they were pretty locked down w everything so I thought maybe they were making y’all wear them outside. FYI you look so long legged and slim! I’ve always wanted long legs!! I’m jelly!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
