Just had surgery and need some advice.

[SHIFTY]

I'm on a cycle right now in my 7th week and going strong, but yesterday I had surgery to get my appendix removed. The doc told me to not lift weights for 4 weeks, I can't be out of commission for that long. My abdomen is sore today and it will take some time for healing I am sure. I figured I would the rest of the week off from lifting and go back to it Tuesday (Tues- Sat is my sched). Has anyone ever had a surgery during cycle and how long did you take off?

Bro, take the time off. You'd be foolish tobrush recovered from an internal surgery. You risk popping stitches at the very least and likely worse. I know it sucks, but you could do some serious harm.

Take off as long as the Dr says to. I had hernia surgery on Monday and was told not to lift for six weeks. You can lower your dose to keep most of your gains until your back to 100%

Take time off and go to your cruise dose.

No problem. Remember, health and recovery is just as important as training and diet!
