Hello,
My surgeon is extremely happy with my progress to date.
The great thing about him is he answers any and all questions.
He recognizes that I am completely tuned into this program.
I left him with my accomplishments to date. He asked if he could have it for his records; I said yes of course.
He was pleased with all my bloodwork.
Things are going very well.
Here are all my questions that he answered:
Questions for the Doctor
• Can I go back to weight training? First of all, I will train with light weights for toning.
Answer: He told me yes. However, stay with toning for the first couple of months.
• Can I then go to heavy weight training to failure to build new muscle.
Answer: Again, he recommended waiting for a couple of months before I exercise to failure to build new muscle. He also said from a surgical point of view I am completely healed now.
• When can I enjoy a salad again?
Answer: I can start slowly with some salad. I am coming up on 3 months post op, which is his guideline. So he said start slowly. AVOID CARROTS FOR NOW.
• Why cannot I tolerate oranges?
Answer: The pulp may still be too much for me at this point. So I will wait another month and try again.
• Is it 1200 calories for life or is it 1200 net calories for life? Net calories being total calories consumed minus calories burned with exercise.
Answer: It is 1200 calories total consumption not net calories.
• Will a baby aspirin be an issue? I need it for heart. I need it to reduce flush from slo-niacin.
Answer: No problem with a baby aspirin daily
• I need slo-niacin to get my HDL up and make my LDL the safe fluffy kind rather than the small dense sticky kind.
Answer: He said no problem resuming my niacin.
• Is there any reason I cannot resume all my supplements? (See supplement list)
Answer: No reason I cannot resume all my supplements. He smiled and chuckled when he saw I also take Krill Oil. We have a good reportoire.
I entered the questions for your information.
I also gave him a list of my meds and supplements
