What is a good time frame after surgery to begin strength training. I want to start firming up. Of course I will start off slowly. I am just looking for what others were told by their doctors.

It's up to your Dr. Mine turned me loose after 1 week, but not to overdue it all at once. But I was doing cardio and lifting after 1 week, no problems.

My doctor gave me clearance to start working out with no restrictions about 6 weeks after surgery. I started working with a trainer a couple of times a week. It has definitely been the best thing I have done (other than have surgery). I try to be at the gym 3-4 days per week. Have fun!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
