Returning to the gym ? 4 weeks post op. Overs

Hey girls, I’m a bikini competitor and I’m 4 weeks post op this weekend. I have been walking on the treadmill since like 3 days post op and all has been fine so far, and I’ve now started doing lower body stuff just very light weight. I literally feel completely fine, my surgeon says 6 weeks no exercise though. Has anyone returned to normal upper body training (would avoid training chest) at 4 weeks? I’m just nervous of complications but really just want to get back in the swing of it.

Ah I bet you’re dying to start again if you’re a competitor and stuff – it’ll be like something is missing from your life!! But I don’t think I’d risk it just yet hun as you might feel ok, but it might do damage under the skin if you’re too strenuous? You could try some plyo stuff to start off easy? Although the surgeon is the person in the know so would listen to them!!

Glad to hear you’re recovering well though 😀

Are you pleased with your results so far? Xx

Hey girl. Yeah I am nervous to risk it now because it’s just not worth the complications although I think I definitely will train at week 5 just super light work and no chest, then I won’t feel too bad because it’s only a week away from 6 weeks 😂 recovering well and love my results! Deffo just excited to get out of the post surgery bra and get some nice bras!! Xxx

Defo not worth the complications so yeah just take it easy chick!! Glad you’re recovering well and you love them❤️ Are you putting progress pics up? Bra shopping will be the best; I’ve basically got minimal breast tissue at the mo so nice bras are pointless for me ha! Xx

This is my most recent one!! Xxxxx

Wow hun they look soooo good already!!! No wonder you’re pleased! I’ve got real boob envy with my 32a’s 😂 amazing 😍 xx

They look amazing! Don’t risk it though until you’ve been signed off.
You don’t want to come this far and do any damage.
They look far too good to risk it now 🙂 xx

How you getting on Hannah? Did you get back into the gym? Taking it easy I hope!! Xx

I’m wondering the same thing. Im a personal trainer and I’ve got my surgery at the end of the month. I’ve taken 5 weeks off from teaching classes and hoping that will be enough to fo back to gentle low impact exercise. 🤔 xx
