Running post LBL +++

Hi everyone ;)

I'm about 8 weeks post LBL, small thigh lift, BL&BA.  I went for my first "run" yesterday -- I kept it short and relatively slow to see how it went.  I feel great :)  my wind is definitely not where it was, but not horrible.

I wanted to ask other runners how it went for them?  I felt like every stride my butt jiggled and it just felt a little odd on the scar line.  Is this normal?  Does it go away?  

Has anyone tried using compression on their mid section while running?  Did that help with the 'jiggle'?  

Thank you!

My doc recommended compression shorts/pants for running, specifically UA.  I didn't feel any jiggling, but it did feel very strange around my scar line.  The scar line weirdness goes away eventually.  I don't remember, but it took awhile for me.

thanks!

I have this very negative feeling towards under armor.  Maybe I should get over it.  But it irritated the heck out of me that they would sell my very large father clothes in his size, but a slightly overweight (or just not thin) woman -- nope!  

I'm going to hit the outlets tomorrow, so maybe I will see if I can overcome that and get something a bit snugger than what I already have.

I've tried a couple, but UA was the only one that didn't make me feel weird when I was still newly postop.  They just held everything together more.  I just wear ON now.  I didn't know that about UA.  I only ever wore yoga capris & Tshirts before I got thin, and that was wherever I could get them cheapest :)  Did your boobs not feel weird?  My boobs still feel weird when I run, and it's been eight months.  Probably the huge amount of silicone.  Hahahaha

My boobs were ok actually.  I wore a SUPER tight sports bra though.  It was relatively snug pre augmentation, so it really held those puppies in post op :)

I am 4 months out and continue to have a tingling sensation along the vertical scar line when I run/jump/ do any type of exercise.

I haven't worn a compression garment for exercise but I'm more concerned about sweating in it and having it stretched when i wa****

Yay!! I'm so glad you're able to run again!!

I wear compression pants all the time when I run. I have to I have not had my legs done yet and honestlly they would shake and knock me over LOL. I have had my arms and a fleur de lis done. I love my Lulu Lemon running capris, they are vented and wicking and life is good in them.

Ugh, the weird light pain/numbness at the scar line above my bum is still hanging around when I run - and I'm a little over 3 months out!!

My LBL scar lines still feel funny, numb, tight, tingly, you name it. They have almost faded now, 9 months after the surgery, but still feel odd.
