Exercising arms!

by Kirstyem13 19th January 2013, 10:15 pm

Ok so I'm sure that there aren't many arm exercises I can do at the min I'm only 17 po, but I'm going on holiday in 3 weeks and my arms are turning to jelly with no going to the gym!! Can anyone think of any exercises I could do? If there is no way then fair enough I don't want to damage me new boobies or spoil my recovery, just wondering?! Xx

17 days or weeks Hun? You going aboard? Sorry bit off the topic there. Cans of beans ( or anything really) arms out by your sides inline with shoulders and rotate or up and down, do sets, build up, any pains, stop xx

by Kirstyem13 19th January 2013, 10:23 pm

Oh sorry only 17 days! Yes going abroad, I have a 5kg kettle bell which I usually use but not sure if it will be to much at the min, just every time I look at my lovely new boobs my flabby arms are also staring back at me!!! Haha xx

by Kirstyem13 19th January 2013, 10:26 pm

He said I can go back to the gym and take it easy but no impact exercise for 6 weeks.Maybe I should just ring and ask him see what he says xx

I really wouldn't do any until 6 weeks hun. I'm sorry I know it's disappointing

by CharFaye 19th January 2013, 10:28 pm

Ahh it's tough isn't it you probably feel like you could but don't just incase, oh how nice, in the sun? What've you got to wear to cover up, I'm going away in may ill be 17 weeks and I've just found out boobies can't go out in the sun, never knew this its ruined my night nope

Nooooo I didn't know that either!! I'm going away at 11 weeks post op :(

by CharFaye 19th January 2013, 10:31 pm

I had a feeling it would be a while or scars, but no nice bikini!!! What do you wear to sunbathe? Sorry Kirsty pinched your thread xx

by Lucytugwell27 19th January 2013, 10:36 pm

Hey char.... I'm going away when I'm 13 weeks post op and my surgeon said boobs are fine to sunbathe as long as I wear a sensible sun cream but to keep scars well covered, so I'm going to put sun block and a steristrip on them.

Boob skin will just be sensitive to burning, so as long as you protect well with cream you should be ok... That's just my surgeon though xx

by Kirstyem13 19th January 2013, 10:37 pm

Haha no problem, yep I'm going to Egypt can't wait for some sunshine and to show the new twins off a little bit! I have got cut out swimming costumes, wore them in Ibiza last summer and they looked rubbish with no boobs but tried them on the other day and they look a million times better!! My surgeon has said that I just need to make sure I put sunblock on my scars to protect them but apart from that its fine xx

by CharFaye 19th January 2013, 10:41 pm

Oh I hope my surgeon says the same!! I will of course use a good factor in them I'm naturally going to be cautious of them in the sun!!
Kirsty that's amazing I'm seriously jealous, let us know is how your skin goes? Lol,
Lucy I've copied our recovery so far fingers crossed I can be the same!! Arr what a panic that was!!! Thanks girlies xx

by Lucytugwell27 19th January 2013, 10:43 pm

I'm sure he will agree, where did you hear otherwise?

We only have to be careful because the skin has been stretched, but to be fair unless we want to be prunes by the time we are 35 we should be being careful with our skin anyway!! Where's the fun in having boobs if we can't get them out on holiday!! Xx

by CharFaye 19th January 2013, 10:49 pm

In the hen do thread playboy bunny says its a no no xx

by tinkerbell24 19th January 2013, 10:49 pm

ive been told no sun on them til.6 month and a year for scars ots not fir burning its for hyperpigmentation (think thats the word lol) surgeon showed me some pics one was a client of his. not a gd look xx

by CharFaye 19th January 2013, 10:53 pm

I'm going to have to out my iPad away before I GOOGLE it!! Eeeeeeek

by Lucytugwell27 19th January 2013, 10:55 pm

I was told that the only pigmentation we had to worry about was that of our scars. As I said though, this is my surgeons opinion and I have to be honest he has done a brilliant job of ensuring I don't suffer so far that I trust him.

Everyone seems to have conflicting opinions, but I have been on sunbeds already and have not had any adverse reactions and skin on boobs is soft and supple.

I can't advise anyone on what to do but this is the information I have been given and the information I am acting on :)

Xx

by tinkerbell24 19th January 2013, 10:57 pm

yeah i just said that on the other post that every surgeon has diff advice xx

by tinkerbell24 19th January 2013, 10:58 pm

charfaye DONT google it!! xx

by Kirstyem13 19th January 2013, 11:06 pm

Yeh he said I can go on sun beds now aswel just cover up scars. It's so confusing we are all given different advice! Lol I'm the same as you Lucy I'm just following what mr mcgeorge has said to me, I think all we can do is just trust what our own surgeon has said to us :-) xx

by tinkerbell24 19th January 2013, 11:07 pm

very true we will obv all trust our own surgeons eh xx

by Lucytugwell27 19th January 2013, 11:09 pm

I think so long as we are comfortable and we follow OUR surgeons advice then we should be ok :)

I think the problem is that there is no hard and fast rules so there ends up being a gazillion different conflicting opinions.

All I can do is share my experience and advise others what my advice is, I think we all then need to make out own decisions based on what is right for us :) xx

by tinkerbell24 19th January 2013, 11:10 pm

thats what great on here we all give advice and even if its diff we still get on. love it xx

by Lucytugwell27 19th January 2013, 11:12 pm

I think it's nice that although advice is often different from girl to girl.... There is nearly always someone who find you that has had the same advice which can also be very reassuring. Xx

by CharFaye 19th January 2013, 11:13 pm

I know yeh one rule for one another for someone else, everyone's skins different everyone heals different. It's great if your advice is aimed directly to you this means YOUR surgeon knows your skin etc. shall let you know what he says a week on Monday!! Don't worry tink I've stayed away from google!!! Xx
