Lifting Weight Restrictions

[erikah81 0]

Just recently had a baby, but he is now 18 pounds, (8 pounds over the 10 pound weight restriction). I also have a 2 year old toddler that I will have to keep from picking up as well.

Any suggestions from people who've BEEN THERE, done that?

Also, is 2 weeks enough time for healing and not picking up baby or 30 pound toddler? Is there possibility of the band to slip?

After one week I was approved for 25 lbs. After two weeks 50+ lbs.

I was able to comfortably lift around 10 lbs four days post op. Then a week post op I was fine with 25 lbs. Then by two weeks I was back to working out with a 55 lbs kettlebell.

Just go at what feels comfortable with you. And get a belly/back belt, it will help.
