had my boob job 2 weeks ago......
ok, so i am soooo happy i finally had my boobs done, am so pleased with the results. its only been 2 weeks and i am still a little sore but i am going insane not being able to go to the gym! i usually go 5-6 times a week and i at the minute i just feel so soft and fat and bloated! had stiches out last week and doctor said no gym for another 2 weeks! i am beside myself not being able to do anything!!!
did anyone train after their surgery? i mean light cardio? walking etc? obv not weights!!!!!
Re: had my boob job 2 weeks ago......
Do not do any exercise until your PS ok's you for it. It is very very important. You do not want your blood pressure up, you do not want to tear any stitches and you certainly don't want to cause any other type of damage especially if you already like your results.

Listen to your doctor! I cannot stress this enough. In a nutshell: you're pleased with the results, right? You sound pretty happy... if you don't listen to your doctor, YOU'RE GONNA FUCK IT UP!! Yea, you feel gross now, but stick it out for two more weeks until you get the ok. Then work it off and you'll look even more fabulous.

there are some pilates floor exercises that might be ok. But as suggested above, ask ur PS. :)
congrats on ur bewbies!
Re: had my boob job 2 weeks ago......
I agree, no cardio, or weights until you all all healed! Why risk it!
Re: had my boob job 2 weeks ago......
You can walk at a normal pace, so go ahead and do that. What you DON'T want to do is raise your blood pressure, because that can cause a hematoma. You don't want to lift weights because you can dislodge the implant from its pocket before it has a chance to heal.
One thing you'll notice when you do get back into the gym is how WEAK you are. Believe me, it's like starting over. You don't lose your muscle, of course, but you will have to readjust your thinking about how much weight you can lift. You'll regain all your strength in time, don't worry, but for the first few months post-op, things will be harder than you expect.
Be advised that your bloating is also caused by the anesthesia and medication you're on, as well as edema (swelling) from the surgery itself. It's part of the healing process. It will dissipate over the next couple weeks.
So, put a sheet over the mirror if you need to, go for slow walks and be patient. Remember that the 2 weeks might seem like a long time, but you have the rest of your life to have great boobs, so don't screw it up for yourself!
Re: had my boob job 2 weeks ago......
i agree not to risk it, but if it's making you that crazy, why not call your doctor and ask what he/she recommends? i'm guessing they would probably tell you that going for a good walk would be ok.
Re: had my boob job 2 weeks ago......
Well you really need to rest it is dangerous to work out so soon you could have all sorts of problems.
But I know how you feel I'm a big time gym rat and I started walking on the treadmill one week after my 2nd boob job. I was wearing 2 different sports bras.
You gotta do what you gotta do know what I mean?
