On Sunday, I hit 6 weeks since my surgery!
On Monday, I trained for the first time in 6 weeks. Pretty much cold turkey because I don’t go to a traditional gym and I hate running. I thought it was going to be a shitshow. The truth? I retained most, if not all, my cardiac function (based on an hour’s training), lost maybe 5% flexibility which is negligible given how bendy I am and my stability didn’t seem to be affected and I did try a 360 roundhouse to test my theory. No issues.
However, when I got home I had and still have a bit of soreness near my left incision. My doctor said this is normal so I’m still taking it easy (don’t train on Tuesdays anyway) and considering my options on/for Wednesday (ladies only class, mixed class or don’t go at all). There’s strengths and pitfalls to each so we’ll see where my body is at.
My total weight loss since surgery is 7lbs. I was 146 for the most part and now I’m 139*. I have lost a bit of muscle but it was largely body fat which is why it hasn’t come back. Assuming I get the okay from my doctor, I’m going to start a mini bulk in a few weeks because I don’t feel strong. I’m noticeably thinner and I’m just not happy at this weight.
Honestly, I need to recover from this recovery. XD
*I’m almost 6′
