When I could play tennis again



Recommended Posts

I leave for surgery tomorrow and have surgery on Monday. I play in a tennis league and was wondering how long before I would be up to playing. It has helped lose 30lbs so far.

My doc said 4 weeks. Even at 4 weeks, I could tell I wasnt fully healed so I took it slow. Nothing in particular but when I ran or twisted, you could just tell that it wasnt quite 100% so I took it easy but played. At 6 weeks now, I dont even notice I had surgery.

I play tennis as well (4.5 level). I remember playing a pretty serious singles match just 2 weeks after surgery. It was no big deal. I maybe struggled with energy level towards the end of the 2nd set. But it was great to be out again hitting. You will be fine and back out on the courts in no time.

      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...

        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.
