Rep Power: 24 | Having surgery on Monday
Hey guys. I'm having an invasive surgical procedure performed on Monday. The doctor told me that I can't lift any heavy weights for 3 weeks. He says I can engage in stretching, cardio and light weights during the 2nd week. I'm on a cut right now, should I lower my calories or keep them the same (1500 - 1700 calories)? I just want to maintain my fitness levels and muscle mass during recovery. Thanks in advance for any tips. 
BTW, it's a cosmetic surgical procedure. |

Rep Power: 19 | If your not gonna stay so active during your first week, my advice just keep it slightly low, in ur second week, keep it the same since you can attempt light cardio sessions, light weights and so on. Good luck on surgery, hope all goes well. | |

And for the week just eat healthy with your normal calories..and then second week cardio I would stay away from weights just so theres not a chance of anything  | |

I am sure they won't mess it up, you will be just fine, God bless. | |

As for advice, I would do what your Doctor says.....3 weeks is nothing and better safe than sorry. Just eat clean and recover from the surgery. | |
