yes i did have love handles. So they removed that too. So far I have kept everything healthy. I am trying hard to move at least 5 minutes out of every hour. I do have before pics I will have them for you guys to see. I will have my shakes as well. SO far I have only had 2 4 Oz. chicken breast as protein. Lots of gatorade, crackers and a bagel with Peanut butter and a sweet potato. I dont't know if I mentioned this but I am using my palm pilot to answer the thread. If any of you guys have AIM my screen name is the same as the forum. The same is for yahoo. My MSN address is [email protected]. I look forward to chatting with any of you guys via chat on my palm pilot or on the thread.

My sis bought me a McFlury 2day. Should I eat it? I don't know whether I should since I am just sitting in my lazyboy. I know Jen Z u suggested to anything but if I did eat it would it affect me that bad?

I would think it would be ok, when I was younger the day after surgery they let me eat ice cream. But I am not a doc so I really do not know for sure. If someone does not answer quick you will be drinking it with a straw

[donescobar2000]

I don't think it hurt you too much. From what I was told the body burns more calories during the initial phase of healing & needs the extra fats, etc to heal properly. Just make sure you do eat so the meds don't make you sick & that you get enuf protein. In about 3 weeks after surgery, then you can start really watching your diet again.

How ya feelin'??

Im getting stronger everyday that goes by. I am getting up by myself and sitting down by myself. I'm feeling ok. but I woke up with a bit of a headache. I don't what it could be. Oh well...i assume it will go away. I am also supposed to wash up 2day but I don't know how. Lol. I see if I can figure it out. Talk to you guys soon.

My advice would be to just eat clean and make sure you eat enough to maintain your muscle mass. If you keep eating in a deficit you will undoubtedly lose muscle, this us due to the fact that you won't be creating a stimulus (lifting) strong enough to require your body keep it's current level of muscle. Keep the protein high, carbs moderate, and a decent amount of good fats. Good luck bro!

RE: showering today, be careful. Are you wearing a compression garment? If so watch the first time you take it off cuz you'll probably get dizzy & feel like you're going to puke or pass out. Take it slow & be prepared to lay down quick if necessary.

The headache could be from the meds or leftover from coming out of anesthesia. The anesthesia can really mess your body up for a couple of days.
