Every doctor is a bit different, but my doc said i can workout as soon as I feel good

Which was about 6 days post-op

I started off light, but as I felt better and better I increased my workouts

Please keep in mind I was doing an hour of cardio 7 days a week before surgery. I was back to the gym on the treadmill 0 incline on day 4. I did about 45 minutes. I think on day 11 I went back to the elliptical not terribly strenuous. Day 15 I started lap swimming, keep in mind I was swimming daily before surgery.

      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.
