I ran! I ran! 1 month after LBL and BL

Dr. Jack said I could try running when I was one month out....well.....I was out power walking last night, 3 days before my one month....and I decided to try a few sprints just to see how running felt.  IT WAS AMAZING!  I had no idea how much all that extra skin was bouncing around until I ran without it!  All in all, I finished 2.5 miles in 40 minutes, running about 3/4 of a mile total (didn't want to overdo it).

Today I feel great (except my butt and leg muscles are sore) and I can't wait to run again Saturday morning! 

Healing is exceptional, and I'm now sleeping like a normal person again....sleeping all night, flat and can even roll on my sides now!!

Woohoo!!! . I pulled my treadmill down for the first time yesterday too. I was a little disappointed that the inscision on my inner left thigh was a little irritated going over a power walk speed. I did get to run but since that left leg is still slightly open I backed off. I don't want to pu**** or make healing last even longer.

I am so excited for you. I can't wait to get back to my daily run!

Wow! WTG that is some super healing you are doing - congrats!!

Congrats , way to go.

I am soooo jealous!!! My PS said absolutely no running until 6 weeks, so I am still walking but wear a weighted vest to add to the leg workout.  I am now 4 1/2 weeks after extended TT and Breast Lift!!

Good for you!!!

*jealous* I have not been given a green light....I miss my daily dose of sanity!!! I

Im totally jealous. I could only dream of running at this point, and im 3 weeks out. But, I plan on finding some women's running shorts that I couldnt wear before because of the massive sagging thighs and taking a run one day in the near future :)

Congratulations, Kim --  It sounds like you are having a remarkable recovery!!!

You might notice some additional swelling after strenuous activity -- I still do at 8 months post tummy tuck.

A few hours in my binder helps that, though.

My swelling is so random! Sometimes I swell a lot from doing nothing. I'm still in compression 24/7 and I can sure feel the pressure when I do. I love the morning.....nice and un-swollen!

Good for you!! I ripped a hole in my lbl incision at the 4 week mark. No way I was risking any more damage. I don't think I did any exercise until about month 3.
