Damn dude, i opened this thread thinking it was gonna be a good story about weight loss. The calf muscle is really hard to get back. I busted my ankle last year and couldn't walk for about 6 months, needless to say it was just flab at the end. Start slow, for everything. Do any rehab you have to do first. Once that is too easy, expand slowly. Work muscles you can once you feel ready. I suggest starting with core training and stabilization. Also go with light weights initially, so you can build a base to build strength on. Basic lifts; bench, squat, deadlifts,rows. When it comes to calves i've read that you can get better results from doing ten sets of ten reps with very light weight. I haven't been able to get myself to ten sets yet, as i'm still recovering from my injury.

Speaking from experience, nothing good ever comes out of going to TJs. I dont think theres a single person on this forum, or for that matter any serious lifter that works hard for their gains that worries like hell about a crippling injury that prevents them from lifting , let alone heart surgery! wish for a speedy recovery. Hopefully the settlements will also cover your training/supplements for the next few years as well.
