HI, Well I am glad you are feeling wonderful! I would speak with your doctor about the weights and protein drinks it seems every doctor has a differnet plan. Good Luck!

Lisa is right...every doc has a different opinion. I was told not to do weights until 6 weeks post op (but mine was open) Istarted eating protein bars about 3 weeks out...it was easier. But if you look at the protein grams carefully you can get a lot of protein from the foods you eat. Deb Paul
