Tummy Tuck Scheduled for Apri 30th. - Redmond, WA

I work out with a trainer and was a little suprised at the changes she made to my workout for the TT. I thought we would really push with the weight lifting and cardo before the TT because of the no exercise for 6-8 weeks requirement, but she went the other way entirely. She's had a few clients who've had TTs and her approach is to back down one the workouts starting two weeks before the TT. This is to make sure the body isn't stressed (in recovery) before major surgery. We're doing 30 minute low impact cardio only for this week. I've dropped my calories down somewhat to ensure I don't start gaining weight. So far no issues.

Congrats on the weight loss and keeping it off. Good luck with your procedure. Looking forward to hearing about your progress.

good luck tomorrow! you will be fine! let us know how you are doing!

Thank you for the encouragment! everything when well, not too much pain when I got home, just slept lot. I will be posting pictures later on. By the way two helpful hints for people. First, if you have to cough or sneeze, roll your body in a ball, like a potato bug, the pain is far less on your belly. And second, no beef for the first few days, very hard to digest better to eat chicken and fish.
