Returning to exercise/running after a BA..when?

Hi, Im having my op today! Just wondering how many week after you were able to return to running as I run around 15 miles a week really going to miss this.???? I’m presuming I won’t be running before Xmas now but wondered how others got on? Xx

@lis212 Hey babe, hope all goes well today & you’re not too nervous xxxx

I stupidly watched people on YouTube taking about their recovery & they were all back to the gym within a month and back to training, running etc & there’s no way that was going to be me. I got a bit down about it if I’m honest & couldn’t understand why I was taking so long to feel normal 🙁

Day by day I got stronger but the weights are still taking time to go up & back to where I was … Here’s what I put in a post of mine about recovery

…

Getting back into the gym well that has been difficult. At 4 weeks I started back training legs & light cardio (spin class etc) Could train legs ok, couldn’t squat with weights even on the Smith machine but with a friends help I could do various other things. I’d watched some videos about recovery on YouTube & saw girls training shoulders, arms, back within a few weeks but 2 months on I was still on tinnie tiny weights & having to stop cause my chest was twinging ???? Patience is key, well I’m not a patient kinda girl and certainly not ok the gym! 3 months now & it’s much better but still a process.

Everyone heals so differently & it’s hard sometimes to take a step back, accept that & allow your body to do its job.

Can’t remember who it was but there was a girl on the forum who was comfortable enough to run i think it was a half marathon at 5 weeks post op shop really does depend on the person

I was told 6 weeks then light weights, but I train most days of the week and do deadlifts etc so I’m really going to miss being out of that. I have my op tomorrow and I reckon I’ll be back at the gym mid November to do very light cardio/legs and no weights until at least mid-end December
