I don't compete but I am a weigt lifting enthusiast I was very fit when I had my procedure 3 weeks ago and my swelling is now minimal. I drink a TON of water and take vitamin C 3 -4 times daily. I have been weaning off my binder. I think you will be fine by next year...you won't regret it!
I've been having a couple coups a day...I am 3 weeks post op and have only a small amount of swelling and back into my pre surgery clothes (hopefully will be smaller!) It hasn't effected me negatively I just make sure to drink ALOT of water.
Yay...got my drain out on thurs too! I feel so free! Now if I could find something to replace this binder! I had all the lumps and bumps! I like how I look with out the binder but I definitely don't like how I feel! Feels like in going to pop!
Hi again! I went to the doctor yesterday too and I too still have my drain! I'm not draining much but it is very dark and he says that I must have developed a hematoma he says I will get it out when the fluid starts turning to clearer brighter color. I'm nervous because I'm not draining much at all I wonder if that means it has solidified? What do you think? I'm kind of scared!
Hi! I found you and am so excited because I had the same procedures the day after you! I'm jealous that you are able to go out and walk! My back hurts so bad just being upright for a few minutes. Anyway, can't wait to share our progress!
