Purelyenvy Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Hello! I recently had a breast reduction surgery (15 days ago) and am wondering when is a good time to start this program? I definitely want to be safe and not injure myself, but I have not been able to run since I was in the 7th grade (I'm now 28). I am so excited!!!! I'm thinking that starting out with just walking for x amount of time for a few weeks wood be a good way to ease into this, but I wanted to see if anyone else had dealt with this as well. Thanks in advance!!!! (: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leefuu Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 I would start walking a mile or so 3-4 times a week and see how your body reacts. If its good after a week or so I think you'd be ready for the program Purelyenvy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyAnn Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Welcome PurelyEnvy and you also Leefuu, I would definitely gibve it about another month before you seriously start jogging, as I am sure it still hurts. Check with your Dr of course first. Try in a few weeks to Walk fast, then faster, and see how you do but I WOULD give it another few weeks before you push yourself. This is a major surgery and give yourself time to heal. When I had a partial hysterectomy, I ran way too soon and it was miserable, so I backed off for a few more weeks until I DID that again. YOU will get there, REST up as mush as you can, those weeks will fly by and you will be out there running! Good luck and let us know how you do!! So excited for you!!!
