Hysterectomy! OMG!!!

Awesome work indeed! Looking forward to our hike for my birthday next week, hopefully I won't slow you down too much :-)

My first day of training at my new job I spent sick. Today I had a day off and I have been running a fever all day. I have training the rest of this week. My BF came home sick last week and I guess I picked up what he had Sunday I was feeling pretty good aside from the sore throat I was developing. I was so wiped out from fatigue today I felt like I was back to week 3 after my surgery!

[Catrin]

Hope you're feeling better today!

Oh that's rough, and bad timing. I hope it passes quickly and you're back on your feet soon.

Hope you are feeling better. It is awful to be sick on the first few days of a new job. I had a horrible sinus infection/asthma stuff when I started this job. Went directly from orientation to the doctor.

It's been about 4 months since surgery and now that I'm getting back to exercising regular I found I had to buy new bike shorts. Some of the old ones I had were just painful as the band at the top would push too close to my incision scar. I found a pair of Terry shorts on clearance the other day which seem to be ok. I'll try them out in the morning. Anyone have experience with this? Even some exercise capris are painful. I cannot wear jeans or anything with a button/zipper b/c it still hurts after a while. I looked at some of those Yoga work pants, beta brand?, anyone try these?

I don't have a scar to accommodate, but I find the waistband of the Gore Oxygen shorts to be very comfortable, not at all tight or irritating.

You might want to look at bib shorts. Another possibility would be to call TE and ask for their recommendation. Unfortunately they're low on inventory right now as they prepare for a warehouse move, but if they have anything good in your size you can probably get it on sale.

It's great that you're back to being able to exercise. I hope things are going well.

Yep, I remember that part well. Even my undies bothered me for a while. I had to get "granny panties" to come up above the incision. Yoga type pants worked well. Try to look for some Jag brand pants. They have a great line of pull on pants. Jeans, khakis, etc. I love them because I hate that bump from the zipper. look on 6pm.com. They usually have them on sale. I have found them to be true to size.

Bibs do sound like a good choice for now, in time that problem should resolve. So glad that you're feeling well enough to exercise regularly!

My wife had the external incision and ran into the same problem, it did lessen over time. Initially she wore a lot of yoga type pants and looser clothes. Can't comment on riding apparel as she had her surgery in November in Illinois and her scar was enough better by riding season in May, that she could wear her regular shorts.

I MAY still have a pair of bibs, will try and remember to look tomorrow when I get home for the day. They are yours if so. They would be smalls so should fit you.
