I would like to get some recommendations on a weight lifting program that i can do while i have recently had surgery. I’m not allowed to lift heavy for awhile and have to keep the weights light till further notice from my doc. I am going back to the gym to lift weights in about 4-6 weeks depending on how i heal. Any recommendations on a good workout program that will still bring in some results? I got in mind maybe high reps with light weight? I definitely want to keep the muscle i have now, but if i can build some or just maintain, then i’m ok with that. Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi all, just wanted to update as to how my recovery is going. I am almost 2 weeks post op and the swelling is subsiding slowly. I didn’t expect to be so swollen after my TT procedure, but it could last 3-6 months to see some what of final results. I have been eating pineapple (contains Bromelian) which helps with the recovery and swelling. I’m also taking my vitamin C along with my mutli vitamin. I have been eating 90% clean since being home and have shed 3 lbs since then.

I also got to try on my bikini bottoms and my comp suit bottom and they fit just right! There were a few i will not be able to wear, but that is ok. My husband was nice enough to let me order 2 new bikinis from VS and hopefully they will fit. I have been lounging around in sweats since the surgery as my jeans are not fitting right now and i don’t want anything constricting around my waist.Got to be comfortable.
I should be able to go to the gym in 2 weeks and do light cardio, but lifting has to wait until another 2-4 weeks after that and then it will be light weights. Oh boy, going to have fun doing that. Ego killer..lol. Gotta follow the rules though. I refuse to pick up the pink dumbbells I’m already checking out some new gym gear kind of a present to me getting back at the gym. I love the BEBE sport stuff!

I go back to the doc on Tuesday for a check up, it will be nice to get out. I haven’t really been out of the house too much since the surgery. It hurts a bit to sit for long periods of time so i make my rounds around the house with my 2 yr old. I have even started cooking some dinners and started doing light housework. My daughter does keep me busy during the week though…lol. Need to slow my roll. We both get bored so we head outside to play a bit and she loves to feed the doggies. I can tell though she misses the gym daycare, everyone just about knows her there since i stay a good bit when i was working out. Sort of a celebrity status…hehe. Alright, that is all i got. Wish me well and thanks for reading!
