As of today I am out 6 weeks from my lower-body lift and am offically cleared to return to 'normal exercise'.  I've been on walks here and there but no runs yet.  Previous to surgery I completed four half marathons and countless 5k runs.

I am so excited to run without my belly!

I'm entered in this sunday's Long Beach Marathon 5k...I am so excited, I can see the course from my office window this morning. I WANT TO RUN!

Are there any post-plastics runners out there? How did you return to exercise and running? Any tips or advice? Thanks!

I ran a 10k 6 weeks, maybe 5 post LBL/Thigh lift.

COMPRESSION GARMENTS! I'm not talking about tight underarmour stuff. I'm talking about the kind you get at the department store that makes you "look skinny." Yes. Granny stuff.

I wore one that went from my knees to just under my boobies. Trust me...you don't want any jiggling. You want to be TIGHT. I wore running capris and a running top over it.
