    hi Taryn. i’ve just had my op done this Monday and have been strictly told not to do any vigorous exercise for a good 2-3 months. four weeks is too soon dear. i would take it easy and go for brisk walks and eat healthy. i am a very health conscious person too but am happy to wait 3 months until i do a full workout as such.
    all the best x

    im just over 5 weeks post op and i really wanted to exercise so i did an exercise dvd. that way i could do it at my own pace and stop if i wanted to. it didnt hurt at all and hasnt affected them in anyway so id say as long as u take it slowly then go for it xx

    i had 260 overs and i started exercising at 3 weeks, same sort of intensity as pre-op, although not running or anything which causes a lot of bouncing! its just over 4 weeks and im back in the gym most days,,, im not particularly gym obsessed i just feel completely fine so i’m doing it.. i had a really good and fast recovery right from the beginning though so not sure if that helped, also overs heal much faster than unders.. ive been told the general rule is that if it hurts or feels wrong you should stop.. there are plastic surgeons that say you can start exercising at three weeks, mine said 6 weeks but i think thats just a general rule to cover themselves.. i dont know! just dont do anythign that will affect them. if you feel up to it just start small and see how far u feel comfortable taking it x
