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!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
