Celebrating #57 in my birthday (swim) suit!

11 Weeks PO tomorrow. Just wanted to share my birthday pics.

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.

Dr. Shienbaum was the first and only plastic surgeon I had a consultation with. I know this is a big no-no and that you're "supposed" to go to at least 3 before deciding and I did have 2 more scheduled. However, I felt so comfortable with him, and his before & after photos. I was able to talk to a former patient and actually see his work firsthand. I feel as though I am in the hands of a true artist and that he has "sculpted" my body into a "masterpiece". Dr. Shienbaum is passionate about his work and also very compassionate with his patients. He and his staff have treated me like family. I love Dr. Shienbaum and the ladies, Patty, Kristen, Ginny, Laura and Chelsea! They are the best!
