Just had spine surgery and need to hit the gym

[jessannking]

I am 23 years of age and I have scoliosis. I just had my third spine surgery 3 weeks ago but I really need to hit the gym because I'm getting married in 3 1/2 months and I want my body to be so fit. I am 115 pounds and 4'11 is it possible to have muscle definition by then? I eat extremely healthy and I'll go to the gym everyday except rest days. But how should I slowly get back into it yet get muscle definition in 3 1/2 months

What does your doctor say about exercise? What are your limitations?

probably not gonna happen at 115 unless you are all ready quite muscular and lean, which at 115, you probably are not.

I would listen to the doc and worry about the weight later.

Your groom would rather have a healthy bride than anything.

Definitely talk to your surgeon/physical therapist about that one! You don't want to be unable to enjoy or MISS your wedding because you haven't allowed your spine to properly heal and are in pain, or be going in for an avoidable 4th surgery to correct things you may mess up.
