Hi RS sisters, Is has been a while since my last post! Not much difference than my 6 wk post. I am healed!!!! Thank God. I am exercising 5-6 times a week. Weight lifting, aerobics and yoga. Very little core workout! I am not sure when to start the core workout! I am eating healthy and taking care of myself! Not much swelling! Maybe not yet!!! I wish all of you happy healing.

You look great!! How long are you going to wet compression? I'm in the process of weaning from mine because it was making my belly button close. Not sure if I am stopping too early.

Thanks, I think CG helps swelling! I try to wean myself out but, I like to wear at night and to the gym. I think, I probably continue till I am 4 month post op. How many weeks are you P.O.?

I'm 8 weeks postop. I didn't get lipo so I don't think it's helping with swelling for me at this point. I liked it for the back support but was spooked by my bb closing. I'm definitely going to use it when I start exercising (I have been slacking)! Good for you for getting back at it!

I had a 6 wk po visit with my Dr. yesterday. She said no restrictions on anything, I could exercise and I don't have to wear any compression!!. Yaay!!! Well, I will probably wear at night time because I don't feel comfortable sleeping without it! My incision is completely healed, I can also use the scar treatments and I feel great. Happy healing!

6 W-PO

za2628
I am 6 weeks PO today and I feel great!! My P.S told me last appointment that I could start exercise at 6 wk mark! Yay!! I was walking 20 minute/day on my treadmill for the last 3 weeks. So, I am going back to the gym this evening for moderate exercise!!! I have been sleeping on my sides (thank God for the CG!) for no more than 30 minutes for each side at night. I am extremely careful not to hurt myself! I am trying not to be dependent on the hospital CG so much, so I only sleep with it at night and use my Shaper queen at day time.I am still taking my vitamins, turmeric, fish oil and bromelain every day. Also, fresh pineapple and protein 30 gr every day. My incision is healed and I am walking straight finally unless I sit too long! I will see my PS this Friday for 6 w po and I will update you if there is something new! So, life is good and I wish you all happy healing..
