Let's see, Post op 8 weeks and a day. Everything...
WORTH IT$12,300
Let's see, Post op 8 weeks and a day. Everything is really good. I'm still back to all my activities, my boobs need to be more aggressively massaged to get my implants down. Loaded some pics. They need to soften up!!! Twice a day, I have to push them down, and then together for 30 sec. Not that big of a deal. Saw my PS on Friday, he thinks I look great. I'm not weighing myself until all of the swelling weirdness subsides. SO maybe 3 months. Blackbirdhearts and I were weighing twice a week and reporting to each other, but my weight kept extremely fluctuating. So I'm gonna worry about it after everything is fully healed. CAN'T wait for this summer!!!! Also got a job, working at my gym doing sales. So I've been busier. It's a good opportunity for me, hours are 8-1 so kiddos are in school, and there is daycare provided. So it's pretty awesome. Well lovely ladies, I have to go pick up kids, and then teach tonight. I wish you all HAPPY HEALING, and safe MM journeys.

Headed into 7 weeks post op. My photos wouldn't...
Headed into 7 weeks post op. My photos wouldn't upload.....super annoying. I will try again tomorrow. I am back to my full work schedule this week, which is 3 Zumba classes, 3 Body Combat classes, 1 Body Pump class, 1 yoga class, 2 boot camps. So I'm nervous but excited. I have also decided to start running again. I like to run outside on the streets when the weather is nice. So this week I ran 3x about 10 miles. Hoping to bump that up in the coming months before summer. Healing perfectly. No complaints, except, I want to quit wearing my CG. I hate it. I'm not wearing it now. The only time I am wearing it is to exercise. I see my PS Friday, I hope he tells me to burn it. He will prob want me to wear it for 6 months! Good Lord i hope not. Silicone strips are working at night for me, vitamin e cream all day!

Hello Z.... Thank you for asking. I'm doing great. My incision is healing nicely. It use to be the almost the whole front part. Now it's only two small openings. Life is going good. I'm loving my results and am very glad I did this. How are you doing? Have you bought any new clothes? I did on Friday. I bought two tight short skirts (I've never liked shorts) and before my TT I use to wear only black short skirts. This time I bought colored ones!

So glad Lucky! I haven't been shopping yet, waiting till I'm a little further along. I'm trying to shed 10lbs for the summer first. Well I hope it completely heals up! Are you finally allowed to shower? Have you been cleared to work out?

you look great! I am sure you will continue to get sexier and sexier
April 2, 2012
Wow... after all those classes your body is going to look smoking hot. Is there a reason why you would continue to use your CG? I only have to wear mine for 2 more weeks (I am 4 weeks PO today). I hope you hear good news from your PS.
April 2, 2012
Thanks Kay! I don't want too wear it, so I figure he will want me too! Ya know? Life is funny like that. You are lucky to only have to wear it 2 more weeks. I'm really sick of it.

ZM- it is reassuring to hear you are doing so well, I like running outside too, I could never get into the treadmill, I am really missing working out it is hard when it becomes so much of your life and then that part is gone, I am hoping that tonight maybe he will let me start doing the ellitpical or something, but this seroma keeps filling up so I might have to keep waiting,are you lifting yet? Has that been hard? You look fabulous, cant wait to see the new pics!

Running on the treadmill is so demotivating. I enjoy being outside, but in this part of Texas, the weather doesn't cooperate much in the summer. It gets hellishly hot. So treadmills come in handy. I lifted today, it was fine. I had to go light, but no big deal. It was nice to be back in the routine!

Hi Zumbamommy - what is Body Combat class? Also, if you don't mind me asking - are you with a gym that's nationwide? I go to 24 Hour Fitness here in AZ and they don't have all those types of classes. I wish we had a Boot Camp class - I love those. Good luck with the workouts this week - let us know if any of them cause unexpected stiffness or soreness afterwards...I love words of wisdome from others!!

Hey Cutie, Combat and Pump are Les Mills classes. They are international. Google LesMills.com to find out what gym has them in your area. I'm with Golds Gym. I thought some 24 hour fitnesses had them. I know Les Mills is strong in AZ! Body Combat is a mixed martial arts style workout. It takes moves from many different martial arts like Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai, kickboxing, boxing, capoeira, MMA, and several others. It has core training as well. it's the biggest calorie burner I teach! It's a really fun total body workout. Body Pump is a total Body weightlifting class. High reps, lower weight. It's intense too. See if there's a class near you to try. Think you would love it!

Hey girlie, I ran 3 miles today. It was good. My legs are sore, but no pain!! I'm sure you will bounce right back! Zumba was easy.
March 30, 2012
You are inspiring me! I hope I can get to return the gym as early as you did. I can't imagine doing combat yet ... You mentioned the weight lifting classes and I wondered if it were Pump or Power - or whatever. A clean and press sounds terrifying right now.
March 31, 2012
Thanks Emily!! The weightlifting class I teach is Body Pump. The clean and press is not whats making me nervous, it's the shoulders. My back is fine. The push ups, overhead presses, and any pec work is freaking me out. I'm just gonna go really light. Do girl push ups...for now. My boobies are holding me back!!! Haha! I'm sure you will be back in the gym quickly!
April 1, 2012
Oh yes, I suppose! Definitely go light, your girls are pretty - you don't want to put any strain on them. I've been thinking about pushups - there are a lot of abs involved in that one. I'm sure I'll be doing girl pushups when I return, even without new boobs. But who knows, maybe my core will strengthen up faster than I think. I hope to match your pace when I get the okay :)

SO no lipo? Damn girl! You look good. My dr did no lipo on me and i dont look EVEN CLOSE to how good you look! AND your incision is high like mine, but you can cover it!!! Did it go down with healing????
Looking good lady =]

Thanks Ms Rod!! I didn't have any lipo. I think that's why I healed a little faster. I hear that lipos a lot more painful. My incision did go down, its pretty low. I haven't found a swimsuit or umderwear that doesn't cover it.

Okay, so how did week 7 go of teaching all your classes? I am so anxious to get back to the gym and running. But the Dr told me to not train like I was making up for something so I didn't want to push it too much either.
My pre surgery schedule was Mon Am-Spin, Mon PM-Zumba, Tues-Body Sculpt and Speed work run, Wed Am-Spin-Wed Pm-Zumba, Thursday Body Sculpt Hill work run-Fri-Spin. Sat- Long run. Sunday DOR or Bike ride.
I am also about to go into tri training so I need to swap out some stuff for swimming.
Thanks for any insight!!
