Golf



Recommended Posts

Anybody know when we might have clearance to golf again? I'm three weeks post op and couldn't imagine now.

I am 3 months out and planning to play over the summer....I hope there are no restrictions that far out? Would love to hear from some golfers. Three weeks out is way too soon, I can tell you that. I feel like I can play now, but it's the middle of winter and I have not been to the driving range....

I'm 3 weeks out and feel like I could play now I feel so great, but I don't think it would be wise - I was told I wouldn't have any activity limitations after 6 weeks.

I should never try now it seems like the worst motion. But I can't wait to get back out there. I'm hoping maybe by eight weeks. Up until yesterday I had no pain and never would have even realized I had surgery. I really have been blessed with an easy path. Now to break this stall and get this going in the right direction.

I was not cleared to do anything except walk for the first 6 weeks. After that I started riding a bike and working out at the gym. I slowly increased my workouts as I felt comfortable. As for golf, I felt I could play again after about 2 months but I did not, I wanted to make sure I was 100% healed before I started that kind of torque on my body. My first round was about 4 months after surgery and all was fine except my swing. I thought I would really play better since I lost all this weight, wrong. My swing plane changed and I could barely hit a golf ball. I am almost 9 months out from surgery and my golf game is still far from good. So much for picking up where you left off from surgery. I just did not realize just how wide my swing around my body really was and I had adapted to it for all of those years. Now I can actually have a correct swing, I just have to learn to repeat it over and over again. Good luck once you finally get back to it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
