Monday Workout

Hi all! Well I got the ok to get back to normal activities from my PS surgeon so I hit the gym this morning! 30 mins elliptical nothing too crazy light interval since it was my first day back Did some weights focused on my arms and shoulders. Man what a difference it is now that my thigh skin is gone...my thighs no longer crash together while on the elliptical...never in my life would I thought they would have a space between them!!! Keep up the good work! Michelle

Oh thats great,.... have a little PS then rub our nose in the benefits. You skinny people are all the same....... How'd that sound,...good heh?? Congrads on the success.   You having to work out with a stick yet,.... to beat the guys off???

No sticks...then again I'm there to bust my butt the stick comes in handy when I go out. lol.

Glad you're back Michelle. So how painful is that PS on the thighs? I heard it's the worst kind of ps because of the area. My workout 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm @ Barbell club 10 min warm up Speed Benching with mini bands Overhead press Push Press Power Jerks Incline Discus Flyes 1 Arm DB Laterals DB French Press superset rope pushdowns I'll probably walk and do some abs later if  I get a break at work.

Earl,  Awesome workout...Actually the thighs were not too bad to be honest...the swelling was the worst the first week. I just got home from working and my ankles are really swollen...not like I didn't do much today. Thighs are easier then the belt lift in my opinion. I was terrified to have them done because of all the horror stories I had read...finding a GREAT surgeon who has done enough thigh lifts is key...My surgeon made the narrowest incision so it healing easily...plus being paranoid about ripping them open helped to keep me sitting still long enough to make sure they were healing.  

Well I'm glad it worked out for you. I get to ansy to sit that long. The 3 days in the hospital for WLS about killed me. LOL  My hernia surgey was outpatient because I told them If I'm not dying I prefer not to stay. So they let me go home. Break back in slow girl. Earl
