Well bros just got back from surgery. Pain began Sunday night and appendix ruptured Monday night and was taken out. I am pretty much limited to bed rest for the next week and my diet/appetite should be severely affected as well.
To make matters worse they said no lifting until the muscles are fully re-developed in the abdominal area so it would be about a month until I can do light stuff. Here are my before pictures:

I should be on my way to severe catabolism over the next month or so. In about a week I'll be able to choose whatever I diet I want though. Any suggestions to minimize my muscle loss over the 3-4 weeks where I won't be lifting as far as diet goes will be helpful...as well as any other stories / suggestions from ex-surgery recovery patients (especially appendectomy's).
So much for my first natural contest by the end of this year; I'll try and track my progress maybe with additional pics. Thanks bros.
