Post for the gym junkies
Hi ladies! Wanted to share some insight for the gym junkies out there who might come across my post. Here are the questions I had before surgery and now know after having surgery.
1: Am I going to bloat/gain weight?
Yes you will bloat.. You are on strong pain killers which cause constipation! Weight gain? I gained about 2 kgs.
2: Can you exercise?
I walked short distances at around 3 days post op. I drove after 5 days and went back to work (desk job). Found putting dishes away and cleaning abit tough for a week.
3. When can I head back to the gym?
I went back after 4 weeks and did light leg workouts. No weights. I did wall sits, lunges, squats and resistance band workouts for my butt
4. For fellow pole dancers
I do pole for fun and I went back after 6 weeks. No fancy tricks girls! Try to climb if comfortable (i found it hard). Inverts were fine :D
5. Where did my abs go?
Okay.. I definitely looked less toned and lost muscle definition. BUT.. It has been 8 & half weeks and my body is starting to look good again!
6. When can you start lifting the same weight/working out the same?
I am 8 weeks post surgery and can almost use the same weight as my surgery
7. yoga???
I started yoga at 7 weeks and have been doing it almost every day (:
I recommended eating healthy during recovery and eliminate foods you know make you gain weight (I gain weight from dairy so tried to limit myself)
I drank home made juices, took vitamins including probiotics to avoid infection. I got lots of sleep and had youfoodz delivered so I didn't have to cook!

10 DAYS POST OP
Hellllo boobie pals. Checking in after 10 days. They are starting to feel more like proper boobies. Loving the size still! Feeling like I made the perfect choice for my bod. Right side still feels abit tighter than left (dominant side so this is common). Feeling like I have a ton more energy and everyday tasks are pretty easy now (only makes me a little breathless puting dishes away, cleaning etc). I work in an office and am university break so am not doing anything strenuous. As a gym junkie so I have to say... My whatever little abs I had before surgery are now gone (thanks to bloating & no exercise) and my body doesn't look as great as it did 10 days ago but can't wait to hit the gym in a few more weeks :D
