Surgery Downtime, Looking for some first hand experience
Going to be a little long sorry, but figured I'd do my best to fill you in.
Hi, figured I would post up and maybe just get some general ideas/recommendations. Was always very athletic but in highschool I went to two different schools and the bus stopped at fast food for us everyday. I probably put on 60 pounds in those two years which lead to a life of just terrible cravings for bad food that continued for a few more years. Did or almost did reach high 200's maybe even close to 300 area. Never got on a scale around that area.
About 3 years ago I lost the weight poorly by running twice a day and sometimes 3 cardio sessions with me playing hockey as well and I was barely even eating, all I cared about was getting back down in weight. I got to my lowest at around 185 and looked like death so I decided to start weight training. I bulked back up to 220 and then cycled twice to around 240. I stayed around 230 for the longest time just maintaining and I decided I was going to try to cut slowly for summer so I am sitting back close to 220 and noticed that my loose saggy skin was not going to go away. It's been depressing me quite bad lately so I decided to take the plunge and do a tummy tuck.
^^I understand I lost the weight in a terrible way, but it was before I knew anything about proper weight loss.
They ultra sounded me and told me that I had basically no fat on me and just quite a bit of loose skin covering everything. (said I had the biggest abs she had ever seen hidden) I know I'm in a better position than most with loose skin from training and taking diet more serious but unless you actually have the loose hanging saggy skin that you can grab and manipulate I don't think you realize how much it can wear you down.
I haven't been on anything in about six months and have stuck to a very strict diet lately and all my lifts are the same/better than when I was on actually(except for squat due to a injury).
Basically with the surgery I am terrified of the wait of recovery and when I can start lifting again, and trying to get back to where I was, scarring+recovery time is just so long. I just feel that if its depressing me I might as well get it done and over with, instead of waiting and then having to do it at a later time.
I'm guessing I am going to drop a lot of good weight, due to a lack of exercise and I will probably have no apatite.
I honestly wasn't planning on cycling again when I realized that my diet was getting pretty good in check and I could hold my weight fine. Now I think after I plan on hopping back on to at least try to get me closer to where I was.
My two questions is anyone have any tips about keeping mass with basically no activity and what would you recommend anything specific gear wise for someone just trying to stay as lean as possible just filling back out to hopefully where I was.
