Exercise???

I’m three and half weeks PO now and feeling fat!!! The scales say I’ve only put on 2lb since my op but I look and feel much bigger than that. Do any of you other PO girls think I’ll be ok doing a bit of light exercise, jogging, sit ups etc…. I’m a complete sucker for good so can’t and won’t diet, but can’t carry on feeling like this! Driving me mad!!! Xx

Wouldn’t do sit ups but just go for some brisk walks hun that should be fine x

I cannot wait to go back to the gym, I heard its meant to be 6 weeks but as soon as the pain in gone I’m going back! I’ll just do legs which should be ok x

I’ve spoken to my surgeon today he said I’m ok to go and do light cardio such as cross trainer (prob without arms), walking and cycling today as long as you don’t do any upper body stuff. I’m 16 days PO x

That’s good to know x

Thank god. Normally I do pole fitness for my workouts but defo not ready for that! My instructor won’t let me back til I’m 8 weeks PO. I’m half way there… 🙁 xx

Most Drs wont allow anything other than walks for 6 weeks due to the risk of internal bleeds. Those 2lbs are likely the weight of your implants btw 😉 You will be bloated from the GA for weeks, it took me around a month to look normal!x

I was worried about the size of my gut but as long as its due to the ga I’ll survive x

Oh it’s awful isn’t it?? x

It’s horrible, I look awful in all my clothes! 🙁 xx thank you for your help ladies xx
