Going to Rack City! - White Plains, NY

Nice! That's a good idea. Any activity is better than no activity. I'm going a little crazy not being back in routine but I just keep reminding myself it's just a blip in time and I'll be back to working out in no time!

I'm pretty sure it's going to be 6 weeks for me too (ugh) but better to wait than mess something up. This morning I did elliptical for 30 minutes fairly slow but I upped the resistance and crossramp so it was resistance on my legs and butt. As long as you work your muscles till exhaustion a few times it'll maintain them and shouldn't even take too long.

Fabulous, you're going to love it!! I slept with it for a week and a half and would continue to if it didn't take up 3/4 of the bed and knock my boyfriend off! And you're totally normal all I could think of was boobs for about a month before my surgery! I would literally spend hours every day looking at boobs and obsessing over what I wanted them to look like and everything having to do with my surgery so needless to say I'm pretty sure my friends and boyfriend are glad this is over with because I finally shut up about them! (Now everyone just wants to see them)! I've stayed pretty local for both my surgeries too because I feel the same way. Not so much freaked out but I like to be close to home because who wants to ride in a car for hours after a procedure?! I'd much rather be able to crawl into my big comfy bed 30 minutes away. Some people were asking why I didn't go to the city to do this because the doctors are "so much better." Well, actually they're not and BA's there can be $15,000! Not trying to spend extra money for no reason, plus a lot of doctors here have offices in the city. I just don't really see a point for something as common as a BA. And WOW you're a champ! If you can drive yourself after a c-section you're going to do just fine. I highly suggest just taking very good care of yourself for as long as possible before surgery in terms of eating really healthy and exercising. I had the easiest recovery ever. Honestly it didn't even feel like I had been "hacked up" aside from soreness and morning boob. After I got home from surgery I took a 2 hour nap and got up, walked downstairs and made lunch. haha! Everyone was so shocked because they were so sure I knew nothing about recovery and that I would be in bed unable to move for a week even though I'm the one who'd been reading about recoveries nonstop (although I wasn't even expecting it to be this easy). Anxiety is totally normal but trust me if you can have a c-section this is going to be a walk in the park.

No prob, I feel your pain! I had my first post op last week and my PS said he wants me doing nothing until week 3. However I asked him if I could do normal things like go to the mall and grocery store and he said yes so it can't possibly hurt to walk on the treadmill at a slow pace. I've been doing very light walking since a week PO and today I went a tad harder by upping the treadmill incline but still going slow. I think he just says 3 weeks to be conservative and is what he tells everyone but I feel totally find and have very little discomfort except for some itchiness at the incision site and morning boob. I've also been doing bicep curls with a 5lb weight (not much but it's something)! and calf raises/squats until my muscles twitch (muscle fatigue). It's far from my normal routine but I don't want to push myself too much and it feels good to be able to do at least something. I can go back to the gym with my PS' approval starting next Thursday where I'll do fast walking on the treadmill at a high incline and intervals on the elliptical as well as lower body lifting and core work. I'm going to find out from him at my next post op next Friday about heavy lifting. I don't plan on doing chest again but I still have work to do on back/bis and shoulders! So I'm really hoping to get good news from that so my arms aren't squishy by the time I can lift again!

Thank you! Best decision/easiest process ever!
