Excercise and swell hell!
Period came on Saturday morning just 24 days after the last period (damned thing) so avoided the gym until tonight. Thought I would try doing my normal boxercise class for the first time post surgery. OMG I am so swollen it's rediculous! I got through the class ok but I feel really unfit as I am usually boxing like a machine! Also in the gym before the class I did some 20KG back squats and had trouble lifting the bar bell back over my head (usually 20KG is like lifting a feather to me). I am used to back squatting and dead lifting 55-60KG's so I am feeling like a right weakling! I compromised by using the Smith machine (hate that thing) and did a 30KG back squat on that and my lower back felt quite sore. It didn't feel right at all! I know it will take time but didn't realise how much my fitness level would drop. I've signed up for a marathon relay at the beginning of October and now I am panicking I won't be able to do it (running around 10Km). What with working and kids etc I can't really commit lots of time to gymming and running :-/ really hoping things will improve quickly!
4.5 weeks PO!
Went back to gym on Monday And managed 20 mins on the cross trainer, some bicep curls, squats and rowing machine. Didn't push my luck because I didn't want to set myself back, but I felt great and didn't have any aches or pains the following day. Really struggling to be good with the no lifting rule but think I made a good enough compromise at the gym. Going to try running this evening and see how I go.
Just been doing some scar massage with bio-oil. Really impressed with how quickly the scar has healed. It has to be mostly down to the scar tape which I think is amaizing! Been finding some suture threads the past week and pulled a few out, there are a few that are too short to get hold of. They are not causing me any issues though. Just thought I would share my scar and bb today. I am a little swollen as I worked a nightshift last night.

Tummy and scar pic!
Provider Review
Although on a small island with little choice in surgeon, I am glad I had Dr. Groblaar. He is very down to earth and normal and his team provide a very personal experience and remember your name and face etc, it's really lovely! I did feel a little rushed during consults resulting in me not really getting an answer to questions I had, but he was very reassuring and I knew to trust his judgement having done thousands of tummy tucks over the years. So far I really love my results!
