The standard recommend seems to be 6 weeks, though my surgeon said I could do lower body stuff at 3 weeks and start running again at 4. The nurse didn’t look impressed at this and stressed 6 weeks at my pre-op check. Suspect it depends on a lot of things, like position of implants and how well they’ve settled, and how supported new babes are and what you’re actually doing.
I think I’m going to wait and see how I feel, though I’m desperate to get back to my running, I don’t want to risk feeling sore or doing any damage. The plan currently is to start x-trainer minus arms, and do squats, lunges and cycle at 3-4 weeks, taking it really easy. Next stage jog on treadmill and if that feels ok, head outside to run, but starting like a beginner again 🙁 I’ll really hate that. Took me so long and I worked so hard to build my running distance and speed up. But it’ll come back and so it’s a small downside really
