Curious on Weight Lifting - Tacoma, WA

Wow it's been way too long since my last update. I wish I would have updated more.

So I was back at the gym a week after surgery. Of course on light duty. Was doing the bike for cardio. I actually started doing the stair master as well.

I was curling only 8-10lb dumb bells at first. I gained a new appreciation for leg day. I went pretty normal on leg day.

I just started working out my chest again. Doing bench press and everything else. I still actually have all my strength I had prior to surgery. I am quite pleased with that. It just feels foreign sometimes. I think I was running maybe 8 weeks out.

My recovery was amazing.

I am only. 36C but I am very happy with my results and they look very natural.

Well today is day 9 after surgery. I've been to the gym twice since. Done walking on the elliptical, did the recumbent bike, some abs and today I did some light bicep curls. I was curling 25lbs and 30lbs PRE surgery. I knew I had to go light so I started just with 12lb dumbells. Seemed to be just fine an I am able to isolate my muscles so I didn't use my pectoral muscles. I am more than anxious to go hard at the gym but know I shouldn't and probably couldn't go as hard as I want. Tomorrow I'm going to have "leg day".

O yeah... I have a question... Did any of you gain weight post surgery? I'm not sure if I'm retaining fluids, am bloated or just straight gained weight after surgery but it sucks ass. Lol my stomach is all bloated.

All in all, it's been a great experience.

Well it's been 4 full days since my surgery. I feel amazing. The day after surgery I was already walking around and the second day after surgery I walked over three miles with no problems. There was some discomfort, the typical pressure and some random sharp pains but other than that, I have a lot of energy. The 4th day I was able to straighten my own hair. Today I French besides the sides of my hair. I have a very good range of motion in my arms.
I think I am having a speedy recovery because of how much I exercised and how healthy I am. I've had a very pleasant experience. Not sure if I mentioned my sizes but here are the details:
R-400cc
L-430cc
Saline, high profile, under the muscle

I very pleased with the size. For me, it's not that I wanted "big", I just wanted something there. With how wide my frame is, I could have gone bigger with it looking "too" big but oh well... I'm very happy with everything. Other than eating like crap while I'm out of commission lol.
