Exercise supplements

[Guest Clint]

I'm an regular workout buff at the gym and have stopped taking any supplements since 2 weeks before surgery. Now, it's been 12 days post-surgery and I was wondering when I can start taking these supplemts again. They include multi-vitamins, protein shakes, and Hydroxycut (a fat-burning supplement that is take with every meal...works extremely well if anyone is thinking of shedding a few inches off the waste line while growing back that new hair!).

 

Thanks.

i too am a workout nut,2 weeks post op you can

take all your supplements(creatine,protein shakes,

hydroxycut which is ma huang & guarana,chromium &

l-carnitine,vanadyll sulfate is also fine)these

all don't effect hair growth adversly.i too was

concerned my doc said it's all fine after the

procedure.i wouldn't use some of these prior to

ht as they cause rapid heart beat and increased

blood flow.take it easy for a month or so,no

bench presses or squats.if you do some powerlifting,skip the deadlifts and anything

that strains or leads to failure.i walked 3 miles

everyday for 1st 2 weeks to keep active,went

very light for 3 weeks.i probably over did at about

the 3 week point,as i was dying to hit the bench

and at least get some reps with 225 which is

normally light for me,but not so soon after

surgery i felt a strain in the suture area and

stopped.i'm a little over 3 months post op and

i honestly can say it wasn't till a couple of

weeks ago that i felt ok to go all out again as

the tightness has subsided.take it light and easy

for a while as we all are different,be smart in

your judgement as to weightlifting,cardio i feel

can be resumed almost right away if you feel up

to it. good luck

Thanks for the info.

 

I figured I would wait about 2 weeks. I'll start at first with light weights and work to heavy weights over 2 weeks. Like you said...I'll see how I feel. Thanks again.
