So many different things being said by members and doctors. Where do you stand on this topic? My doc said 8 weeks was the magic number for me to resume ab workouts. I'm 8 weeks today. I did a small set of easy crunches yesterday and my belly was quite swollen last night (though it did go down overnight) For those of you already way back into the game, do you swell when you work them out? How far along are you if you still see swelling? What kind of workout are you doing for the new abs? I'm so eager but a little nervous after seeing the big swell yesterday. I felt no pain, which is comforting, but I need more input from all of you!! lol
