I stopped going to the gym a week ago as I was feeling a bit run down and did not want to push things. I lost about ten pounds and feel that I am very fortunate that I have not had to take any painkillers. Though I have been taking Tylenol PM to help be sleep better at night. The throat is a bit sore, but I guess that is expected at this stage. I can eat most non-spicy/acidic soup and have oatmeal with bananas for breakfast.
I supplement that with Chocolate protein shakes two to three times per day. Recipe is as follows:
Chocolate Why Protein - 1 scoop Glutamine - 2 tbs One raw egg either Swiss Chard or kale raw almond butter - 2 tbs Chocolate Hemp Milk 4-5 Ice cubes Mix it up very well in a blender.
Radiologist says that I can expect to go hard in the gym in aprox 3 weeks. I will give you all an update in a week to let you know how I am feeling
