Just started cutting, jaw surgery May 7...

[plornive]

I just started cutting. I'm using oral 1-test ether (SAN T-100), triac, and ECA. Later, I may use clenbuterol, since I have some anyway.

The problem is that on May 7, I will have upper jaw surgery. The surgery consists of cutting my upper jaw from my skull (sounds bad the way I put it, doesn't it?) and reattaching it with peices of metal. After a good 6 weeks, my jaw will be even stronger than before I started, but before the end of that 6 weeks is what I'm worried about. By the way I'm having the surgery done to correct a slight underbite and they are making all incisions inside of my mouth.

Has anyone here had, or know some who has had, upper or lower jaw surgery? How long before you could lift and/or do cardio? What kind of diet do you suggest for recovery and/or pre-surgery? Should I stay on the 1-test through surgery, or should I just make this a test run right now? I am already planning to take glutamine peptides to speed recovery, but what about carbs? Would a moderate carb diet help to speed recovery? By the way I need to go on a LIQUID DIET for a week after surgery and soft foods for about a week after that.

Thanks for any replies.

Bump... Anyone know how long it takes to recover from jaw surgery???

I honestly don't know how long it will take to recover, but it seems to be good timing with your cutting cycle... kind of a "forced lowered cals" thing! But at least you have a serious advantage with planning liquid meals more than the average patient. My guess is that you *could* be lifting within 2 weeks or so. Ask your Doc. I would stay on all your anti-catabolic/anabolic supps if possible to preserve mass as much as possible. Keep us posted.

Thanks for the reply Complete Muscle!
I received some more information about the surgery. It says to come in 6-7 days after the surgery to have the stitches removed. To me this is a licence to lift within 2 weeks of surgery!

I am thinking about staying on the 1-test, but I'm also thinking about stopping after 3 weeks, restoring my natural levels and doing a really really good cycle after I recover.

The freaking receptionist contradicted even the surgeon by telling me that I would not be able to lift for 6 weeks. Right. I just can't explain how much I wanted to reach over the counter and kill her. It's not that I even believe two to three weeks off of lifting is going to hurt me --- I just don't like to sit around and waste my time, which is very limited at this stage in my life.

Ahhh... ok. Anyone else have any comments or suggestions?

Go off the hormone stuff a week before surgery. Sometimes androgens can slow the blood clotting time and that is NOT something you want when they are cutting into you. Resume the stuff a week or so after they sew you up.

Thanks. I will do that. In fact, I think I am done with whatever is in my bottle of SAN T-100. Check near the end of this thread: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=13564&pagenumber=3
