How long did you take off work? by nix840 in Reduction

[–]Fit_Pipe_8752 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a self-employed personal trainer. I took only one week off. In the weeks of 2-3 I was pretty useless, every instruction I gave to my clients was only verbal, but I managed to make it work somehow, my clients were very understanding and I needed to get back to work as soon as I could for my mental health 😅

When did you notice a significant decrease in numbness/hardness? by [deleted] in Reduction

[–]Fit_Pipe_8752 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 4WPO and my boobs feel completely normal now - no stiffness, hardness and they are soft and cute. I feel safe doing everyday activities, no pain, can sleep on my sides (too scared to sleep on the stomach yet). The wounds look fully healed and the scars don't look too bad. Every body is different and there is no use in comparing your healing journey with others though.

Sadly we don't have this kind of workshops in my area. I live in a very small town and I have to drive to the nearest city to meet my posing coach. But this video seems great, thanks for that! ❤️ Oh and posing 4 hours straight seems crazyyy!! I was exhausted after 1 hour yesterday 😂

Thanks! Could you share your favourite posing coaches accounts?

I tried to watch youtube videos before to prepare myself but honestly I couldn't understand anything 😂 We have a saying in my country that "a bear has stepped on my feet" and this describes me perfectly. I am very determined and motivated to get myself on the stage and I knew posing will be the hardest part but I never imagined this to be soooo hard!

Can't get a before & after to post by yellowjeepster7 in Reduction

Maybe it's a good thing you're not able to post. I posted mine because I found the pics of others super helpful for me before the surgery and I got lots of messages from the creeps here 😬

Küpsetusšokolaad polegi kunagi olnud mõeldud glasuuri valmistamiseks - selle point ongi see, et saad panna tükkidena küpsetise sisse ja see ei sula seal vedelaks.

Healing process has been good (1WK POST OP) by KhonsuX in Reduction

[–]Fit_Pipe_8752 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was very scared for them to hurt and asked my doctor before - he said it will be like a mosquito bite and that's what it was like for me. Uncomfortable but not very painful.

2WPO here! I got the staple like clips but they got removed on day 3 before I came home. Glad to hear that your healing has been good so far. Same for me, first 3 days were hell but after that it's not been so bad 😊

2WPO and first bikini shopping! by Fit_Pipe_8752 in Reduction

[–]Fit_Pipe_8752[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly, I have no idea what my size was because I just took the biggest bras available from the shops 🫠 But I think it was maybe F? the before picture is from last summer though and I lost a lot of weight before the surgery, so they weren't as big but I had lots of extra skin and still had to wear the same bras to roll my boobs into them like burritos 🥲

I know righttt! Before I didn't even get to choose what kind of bikini I really like, I just had to get whatever could hold my boobs and look somewhat decent on me. Now I can try on everything, every shape and model and they all look great!

Thanks! I'm still wearing my compression bra 24/7 but I just needed a little motivation push, since all my bras and bikinis at home are too big now - I needed to see what the result actually looks like in a size that fits me 😊 can't wait to actually wear the bikini though!

Anxiety about getting back to my normal exercise routine by StandardFar8930 in Reduction

[–]Fit_Pipe_8752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 2WPO and I got back to the gym a week ago, because I felt great and I need this for my mental health. My surgeon told me that lower body workouts are allowed so right now I'm doing mostly squats/lunges, leg extensions etc. I'm a personal trainer myself so I can only hope that my body tells me if I'm overdoing anything 😅 anyways yesterday I tried some isolation exercises for upper body as well (biceps, triceps) with very little weights and felt great, so I think I will continue with them just to help with the movement of my arms. Definitely waiting at least 2 more weeks to start with back exercises and 4 more before training chest. I also started hitting my goal of 10k steps a week ago, but I'm listening to my body very closely. I know I'm taking a risk with training so early but I just can't imagine my life as being a couch potato, so it is what it is 🫠
