    I’m 7 weeks post op now so I know I can do most things, but I was told you couldn’t lift for a few months. I need to lifts boxes of varied weights at work. When can I go back to lifting the way I did before the op?

    Haha I didn’t tell anyone too and they still don’t know! I have to wear overalls and there quite baggy so you can’t really tell and we have a 2 week shut down over xmas so I just booked an extra week off so its all good 🙂 I was worried about goin back so early cuz I thort I’d be in agony and wouldn’t be able to move but I was suprised at how much I could actually do, don’t over do it if you don’t feel comfortable but your body shud tell you if its too much strain xx

    Will def listen to my body, that’s great advice 🙂 I’ve been waiting for this op for 8 yrs (till I’d had my children) and I will do everything I need to, to look after them.
    I work in a very male environment so didn’t wanna advertise it, I have a crappy uniform so I can cover up mostly at work at least till summer anyway.
    Ur profile pic looks amazing if I look half as gd I will be over the moon. 🙂 xx
