Hey y'all! I am 4 week post op today from breast augmentation surgery and am ready to start my upper body training again!! YAY:) Also going to amp up lower body an cardio. I will let you all know how it goes as i am starting this evening! EXCITED :):sport:
 
That is great news!!! Glad you will be able to start your training again just be careful and listen to your body. Have a great workout!
 
Congrats. Make sure you protect the investment. Silk was very careful and it was definately worth the extra caution
 
Thanks yall! The first workout yesterday evening went well. I decided to just do some biceps and shoulders to start with. Way light weight and simple movements since it was first day back and all. My hubby had to remind me a few times during it to take it easy. Lol :) I was just so glad to get back going again. I had some chest discomfort but it was expected of course. That discomfort helped reign me in too! But all in all was a good start!:) I was thrilled to get back and training muscles that have been on break.:) We will see how things go when I do chest for the first time. I have to admit......I'm nervous!! :)
 
Remember I'm married to Silk so this is just helpful bits I remember from her. Try to avoid any pain at all. The only pain you should feel is a pretty good amount from the multiple daily massages. That keeps them supple and prevents scar tissue which is obviously bad all the way around. Don't get sun on the area. Also I would avoid chest totally for at least 6 weeks. Being serious Silk can bench press a house, but as the pecs develop they push the implants and it doesnt look good. The Dr did alot of work on your chest so let that work shine and remember your ultimate goal is to look smokin in a bikini (or out when with your man). Silk does a little chest now. Nothing heavy and never to failure. Why would she?! So her chest (boobs) wouldn't look as good?? Its a good thing your man is there. I know how it feels to want to jump in and throw big weights around. Silk has saved me from more injuries than I care to honk about. I don't know what you look like, but if it were my girl (which it was) we looked her over and decided what to work on to make the perfect physique. Usually it will be shoulders and quads, hams, and glutes.

And with all due respect, Silk looks absolutely phenomenal! Her body has come so far and the work that you both do has paid off!

Thank you! It has been a lot of hard work, but I'm addicted. It's crazy to see how far I've come in just a few years. I've learned a lot thanks to MC.....oh and a little from The Dude's too :pleased:
 
I'm glad you've got your hubby to reign you in. You sound like me, Lol! I was cautions, but at the same time wanted to hurry and get back to normal. You're body quickly reminds you to take it easy. It's been just over a year and I still feel some exercises that pull on my chest. It's few and far between, but when it happens I know to take it down a notch. I worked too hard to save up for these boobies so I'm not going to let one workout mess them up. I know you keep hearing this, but listen to your body and keep getting those horrible massages :) That's the best advice I can give. It will pay off when you're all healed, injury free and walking on the beach in your new little bikini! Happy training :show: Btw, we're still waiting for the girl smiley face lifting weights..hehe

Thank u for the advice! I'm not sure really how there wont be sny discomfort since i havent really used these muscles in a month. Even with very light weight which i did. I most definitely will be taking it easy! I love my new enhancements (aka boobies). So even though i am all gung ho on getting back i still need to take it slow and light for upper body. I havent done any upper body since friday to ease into it! Patience patience i have to keep saying!:)

Thanks Silk. Yes...i hear u...it's tough but i need to go slow and easy. :thumbsup:
 
I know it's sooo hard isn't it?! Make sure you go shopping and enjoy your new enhancements. I love mine, but thats my only regret...I haven't gone shopping just for the girls. I was telling a friend that out of our tax return I was going to spend $500 on regular clothes...no gym clothes! Guess what I got, 2 gym pants, 2 sports bras and new curtains for the bedroom :) Talking to you almost makes me want to go shopping...almost, Lol! I'm excited for you!

LOL! :D you're funny! When warmer weather arrives I will be thrilled. Plungingg necklines, tank tops, bikini. :D
 
So...I did light back, triceps and abs last night. It went very well! Nice and easy. Didnt stretch chest muscles too much doing back. No out of the ordinary discomfort. I was pleased! :)
 
Great! So I'm curious about you Ms Lil Lifter, what's your reason(s) for going to the gym? Are you planning on doing a show, want to look good, be healthy.....? I would post a new thread askin the ladies, but everyone knows Jenn's goal so you're all that's left, Lol...unless there are some ladies reading this female forum that I don't know about and want to share :) I don't do competitions. I just love pushing myself, love weight training and how it changes my body, love doing it w/ the hubby.....looking good and being healthy goes without saying. Once upon a time my goal was to look like I could compete if I wanted to. I guess I reached that because I've had a few people ask when am I doing a show....that's not happening! So I'm working on a new goal. I'll be posting a new thread about it in the near future. I got a good idea of what my next challenge will be, just need to work on the details. I'm excited to hear what motivates you. Jenn's been very sick, but once she's feeling better I know she'll be just as interested. Happy lifting! :show: Oh and we're still waiting for our girl smiley face lifting weights, lol

Well Silk, I have always been a very lean person with a small frame. So, I am no where near you and Jen! But goals are similar, just on a smaller scale so to speak. LOL :) I love working out! Makes me feel good. Seeing how it changes my body. I too enjoy sharing this with my husband as we both have a passion for it! Being healthy of course is important. Looking good is my main goal. I want to add muscle to my frame and who knows maybe one day when I get there I may want to compete. Stay tuned! :D
 
Well I am 5weeks and 3 days post op and did biceps, shoulders and abs again today. I worked them a bit harder, which I was more than eager to do. It went well. No chest discomfort! :) Feeling good! Still takin it easy! :)

I will definitely stay tuned...still waiting on those pics :laugh: Sounds like we're a lot alike as far as the gym goes and reasons why we train. It's nice to have something in common with another girl...even if we are miles apart. Aside from Jenn and one other girl, I don't have any friends that would think to step foot in a gym. Sad too cuz MANY have health issues. Anyway, sound like you're comin along just fine and it's only gonna get better!

:) I will put some pics up before long. Yep, my husband and I are both from the Augusta, GA area so we are no strangers to the FL shores. (I think that is where u said u were from)

Yep, saw Dr yesterday for my 6 week appt and all lookin good! Dont have to wear that yucky strap anymore at night nor the horrible huge grandma bra! YAY!! Can go braless if I want!! :)
 
The grandma bra HAHAHA!!! I forgot all about that ugly thing. I threw mine away as soon as I got the ok.....Congrats! And yes from Florida :)
 
Great to hear that your training is going well and that you get to go braless, I loved that when I first got them done!!!
