Normally you are good to exercise ( but not extensive) after 5-6 weeks, but after surgery you should still be walking around some to avoid blood clots.

They normally say to exercise after doctor approval, and your first follow up is normally 5-6 weeks after the surgery

My Doc said walking after surgery until 4 weeks post op and then bump it up. No running or jumping till around 6 weeks post-op

I was told right away by my doctor, but was skeptical and choose to wait several weeks and then took it slow at first.

I'd like to start Crossfit again as soon as possible. Its pretty brutal though - so I'm guessing it will be at LEAST 6 weeks post-op before I can return to CF class?

I would confirm with your surgeon because like everything else each dr is different. I was old walking only till 6 weeks post op.

      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.
