1st Day Back in Gym
In a word...AWESOME! I have been anxious to return to the gym and regain some of the muscle that I've lost over the last 6+ weeks. My trainer started me where I left off weight-wise. She only adjusted down on a couple of exercises. I felt a lot of stretching but no pain. I was able to complete the hour workout without much stopping. We focused mainly on arms, legs and butt which are the areas that really need tightening. Of course the core was engaged on some of the exercises but only for stability. Can't wait to do it all again on Wednesday. One step closer to "normal"!

6 Weeks PO! Back to the Gym!
6 weeks, yay! That magical mark in my recovery. I went to see my PS yesterday and he has cleared me for all exercise. Now I can do more than walk and elliptical. I can go back to the gym. He didn't set limits, just said to "go slow, if it causes sharp pain...stop doing it". I have a personal trainer who was once a physical therapist and so both he and I feel that I will be in good hands. As you can see in the I need to get to squatting...what happened to my BUTT?
My breasts still have zingers occasionally and he said that was nerves still reconnecting. My belly button area (and below) is still numb and has some swelling. My TT scar has finally lost all of its scabs so I started scar therapy last night. Looking forward to it lightening. Although as you can see in the pictures, my outfits cover it quite nicely.
Today was the first day that I've gone without any kind of compression garment/shaper and it feels a little weird. I am swelling a little more, so I'll put it back on before bed.
Next appointment in 2 months. Continued happy healing everyone.

Girl, you look fab!!!! I'm glad you are feeling great and have been cleared for exercise. Take it slow, I started back to the gym 2 weeks ago, let me just say I'm like a butterball when I leave. The swelling is already bad when I get home from the office, then 30-40 minutes in the gym...I'm horrible. I've started back wearing a compression garment because the swelling is bad at night. I'm almost 8 weeks now, so hopefully I only have another couple months of this swelling. I'm glad you have a trainer/physical therapist who knows exactly what you should do, I've been fortunate as my husband is an ex athlete so he works with me in the gym, and it has been going good, but I'm not doing any abdominal work whatsoever. Good luck, and keep us posted.
