I just had acl and miniscus surgery done about 2 weeks ago. I haven't been hungry at all and the doctor said not to lift until I'm off crutches which will be about a month (his orders). I jumped on the scale yesterday and have lost 25 pounds!! This is very bad for me since I want my weight as high as I can get it. My question is has anybody else here gone through something similar? If so, how long did it take to put the weight back on?
BRO.....FORGET ABOUT TRAINING and worry about your rehab bro. I've had my left acl reconstructed, left foot reconstructed and left wrist reconstructed.
I learned my lesson with my knee bro, i tried getting back earlier than i should and prolonged the healing. just DO WHAT THE DOC says bro, go to your rehab and follow through with it
I know two days after my surgery i was already in rehab and they had me on a bicycle doing 2" forward and 2" backwards motion, i slept in a device that constantly was moving my leg etc. I quit going to rehab about 5 week and thought i would be fine.
DO NOT DO THAT BRO. forget about your weight, forget about losing some lbs and just get your knee heeled up and fully recovered. Honestly bro, i didn't squat heavy again for over a year from my surgery. you have the rest of your life to lift, just make sure your knee recovers properly so you can train heavy then.
If i remember right i was about 245 when i went in for surgery and was down to about 210-215 before i started training again. Same with my foot and wrist in my motorcycle wreck, lost a ton of weight but you have muscle memory, its true....it will come back and come back quite fast. so relax
