2 & 1/2 months PO

thank you! :D

Hello! Thank you! I'm sorry your're not feeling good :/ Yeah I was very tight for a very long time, but I just started very slowly one day and it got better everday and now I'm generally pain free as long as I don't jump a lot. But I started with yoga and that really streched me out and then did low impact and now I can do whatever. :) I lost that weight because I do weight watchers and I really watch my carbs plus I exercise at least 6 days a week. I hope you feel better and thank you for the compliments! :D

Thank you! I started yoga at about 5 weeks PO. I really haven't gotten into any "core" type poses yet, I've been avoiding those. And you're right! I've done a lot of Pilates classes (before surgery) and it is MOSTLY core workouts so do be careful, but as long as you take it slow and it's something you enjoy I say go for it! Wow that's wonderful! Walking is such great exercise, especially if you can get in those miles. :) Actually yesterday was my 6 week PO and I finally went back to the gym today. I did the equipment (you know that kind that is always in order and focuses on one part of your body i.e. legs or arms), I did 3 miles on the exercise bike, and I ran half a mile. Now I'm not a runner (hence the only 1/2 mile) and I definitely made sure to warm up first, but it really didn't hurt! I was very surprised. So if you like running and want to do a half marathon you definitely should! I would take it slow (always) and keep in mind that if it hurts (and not in the workout burn hurting way) then stop and change it up a bit. My PS told me not to do any kind of core workouts until at least 8 weeks. I hope that helps! :D

Thanks! Yes I have it's actually been really nice and is slowly allowing me to be able to strech more and more (which has definitely helped my back). Well I have been doing very basic moves and staying away from planks and anything that forces me to use my core. My doctor said to slowly start and the "core" poses really kinda hurt still so I haven't done too much, but it has seemed to help. I hope this helps!

Thanks! Yeah I'll have to go look for that I think mine garment could use a little bit more support or something.
