      Well i finally gave in and got my umbilical hernia fixed yesterday. It was 2.5cm son it requires mesh which makes for a longer healing process. Luckily doc said it was only fatty tissue and not intestines pushing a through. I have to say today the pain is worse than yesterday. But in my truly stubborn fashion I'm sure I'm up and down way more than I should be. Doc wanted me out of work with no physical activity for six weeks. I told him I had taken off from the 17th-27th but I could extend it another week and go back on July 5th. He doesn't want me lifting anything heavier than a gallon of milk during the six weeks. Starting at two weeks prior to my surgery I had dropped to just one cc test and one cc deck to go into the surgery with just enough in me to keep from falling apart.

      two weeks post I go back for a follow up and at that point I can begin treadmill only for two weeks. After those two weeks I am going to do all body parts on selectorized machines at 10-15lbs and just go to failure with high reps. Then each successive week I hope to go up 10lbs. During test to 2cc, continue secs at 1cc and add 1cc tren e or if possible and ace/e blend and 3 car plus 3 tbol. Each successive week will see test go up by one cc till I hit 5ccc for 1250mg. Deca will only go to 2cc for 600mg. Finally tren will increase 1cc till I hit three or four depending what I can tolerate and what my quads will take. Var and tbol will increase 1 tab each until I hit 50-60mg per day. Once I get to the third week in I will add in 10iu humalog pre workout with 24gms peptipro and 100gns karbolyn. My during workout drink will be roughly the same mix. While I know I am not good at keeping logs because o tend to work 10-12hr days and come home just long in time to have dinner, get cleaned up and feed the animals, walk the dog and then it 30min of time with Vinny and then pass out.

      With Vinny being done with school after next week we won't have homework to do so hopefully this will free up some time to log things. At docs Friday I was 215. I ate my face off last night and this am I was 220 and tonight I'm 222. Hoping I can shovel good food in and hit a minimum of the 230s before I start the treadmill in two weeks. Then the plan is recomping and some building. If I can hold 230 and recomp I'll be super happy.

      Best wishes for a speedy recovery bro. I had surgery almost a year ago and it's difficult staying out of the gym and taking it easy. Best advice I can give is to not rush it and make sure you are 100% healed up before getting back at it. Sounds like you have a good plan and are on the right track.

      I actually had bought a nice 4" thick power lifting belt earlier this year to try and hold things in prior to deciding to have this surgery. I definitely like the big thick belt feel. I started my recovery by renting London has fallen and it was a great movie. Then I watched generation iron for the millionth time. Then I watched some YouTube videos. A friend commented to me "don't you think that's gonna be torture since you can't lift". But it's really not like that. I love this sport so much and it is such a part of me that I get nothing but positive feelings from watching.

      nothing wrong with that at all man. i am like you, i love the sport and helping people even when i am not able to get in there myself. my one buddy that just had the same surgery done was back to pulling over 600lbs in under 6 months. so that should give you a good indicator that you will bounce back fast. you will be back at 100% in no time

      Quick update. Been eating like an animal and put 11lbs on since Friday. Yesterday I managed to eat almost 4lbs of prime rib between dinner and all my midnight snacks. I pretty much heated up a slice every time I woke up to pee at night. Getting up from a seated position is getting easier but I still can't lay down and get up. Looking forward to using the extra weight to help
      Boost strength and endurance when I get back to it. I know the cardio will be hard but it'll be all I can do for the first two weeks back.

      Last two days been having digestive issues and loss of appetite. I'm thinking its a combo of coming off pain Med and my colitis. I think I began seeing some relief tonight but I'm right back down to 216. Tomorrow is a new day and hopefully appetite is back on track. I am healing rather quickly and everyday I get more mobility. I am able to sleep laying down and get up without having to roll to the side and use arms to prop myself up. Still not trying to pick up anything heavy around the house but I'm able to do dishes and I mowed the lawn today(riding mower). I feel I will be near 100% when I go back to work on the fifth. I am going to start some cardio next week and probably super light weights next weekend if possible.

      So my recovery has been going well and today I was cleared to go back to work tomorrow pending my companies approval. I will be restricted to 66% work loads until July 15th and then 100% from then on. I have not ventured onto a treadmill as I had planned but I am hoping to start cardio and light weights on machines this weekend. This week I stepped my test up to 500mg, kept deca at 250 var at 30mg and proviron at 20mg. Once I get an idea where I'm at in my first week of training I will decide when and how much I'll be upping the var to. Most likely it will go to 50 then 75 and maybe up to 100mg. Proviron will most likely go up to 50 then 75 and 100mg. Test will increase weekly to 600 and three weeks in 900. Next week I will add tren ace and tren e at 1/2cc each 3-4xweek. Not sure if I'll skip out on deca for a bit or keep it in at just 1cc/week. Hope to pick up on logging soon. I always start and life gets in the way but a champion never gives up so I will try again.
