Came out of induced Coma a month ago

[BIG MO]

Hi all

I used to be a regular at the forum, but about 4 months ago I had its not a tumor but a growth on the base of my head where your neck and head connect, well i went in for surgery thinking it was going to be simple but something went wrong so they had to put me in an induced coma for 3 months, I realy don't know why but that is in the past.

Thats not my problem though after I woke up from the coma, I lost all the muscle I had and gained 15-20 lbs of fat since I could not do anything, i was fed intevernisly a tube to my stomach, the doctors said i could lift weights but not do cardio work, and i was wondering what kind of meal would you suggest for a person who is trying to lose weight with out cardio, and how long do you think its going to take for me to return to the stage where i was.

This is my curent meal plan.

Breakfast: 5 egg whites 1 yolk, 300 ml skim milk, and half a loaf of bread


Post work out 12:00: can of Tuna, apple and bottle of juice.

3:00 : Usually a large chicken breast with salad

6:00 : Another can of tuna with apple and juice

9:00: 250 ml cottage cheese and salad

Plz tell me what you think of it, and please give me suggestions

holy crap a coma, that sucks! but im glad to hear you came out of it... a real good friend of mine just went through some similar stuff. anyway, your diet loots pretty good, but you might want to lower the carbs (for example half a loaf of bread is alot).

I dunno if you just came out of a coma i'd eat lots of fruits/vegetables as well, your body is probably lacking quite a few nutrients and such

[Dedicatedforlife]

Eat a lot...focus on getting ur strength back aswell as just focus on health and eat all you can!

I would change the bread to oatmeal.

Do you not like to use supps? If you are willing a whey shake post-workout could do alot of good.

How much do you weigh?

You say you were competitive?

[midweststunna]

after 3 months just use what the doc tells you besides food, dont go making assumptions or taking our advice on supps. your doc will know what your body is strong enough to handle

get lots of good food in you@

With you just coming out a coma, I would get the exercise/diet recommendations from your doctor because you dont know how things might affect you. Probably nothing would happen but it is better to be on the safe side.

dunno what u could do.. I just wanna say that it's good to hear ur out of ur coma!! even though i don't know u.. it's great to hear.

ask ur doctor for advice, or a specialist.

[bucsfan]

sorry to hear that hope you accomplish your goals were with you all the way.

[SilverMajesty]

a multi is MAJOR important. So is a b complex, since your body was probalby depleted. but yes, listen to your doctor most of all.

[enjoyincubus]

wow, a coma!!! that sucks. one question though, why would doctors put you in a coma? what does that do? and why so long?

i wouldnt worry about it. i would take a month off and enjoy being alvie. eat whatever the hell you want, you just escaped death. wait a few months to start over again.

The reson they put me in the coma is to because when they removed the growth they nicked I dont kno what it is part of my spine, but they nicked it, and to be on the safe side they put me in the coma so no further damage can be done from movement or something like that.




When i meant half a loaf i dont mean like those toast things, its one of those pita loafs it has 15 grams of protiein 230 cals, and 42 g carbs, the doctor told me no cardio because it will raise my blood pressure and you dont want that, I'm taking all these vitamin drug crap. it sux though i have to start all over, here is my work out schedule tell me how good it is

Monday: arms
Close grip bench 4X8
Press downs 4X8

that sucks man, i feel sorry for anyone who would have to go through that. make sure you get a good multivitamin

[weltweitefurcht]

Think positive though, at least you weren't in a comma for 10 years.

There would be a lot of catching up to do lol, what with all the new technology and flying cars.

As far as what to do about your body, I would consult a specialist, and your doctor. This seems like a delicate situation.

[Knight360]

do 8 to 12 reps raise reps to burn more cals also to increase str. Do legs also dont exclude them legs burn alot of calories. Your diet is good though. Also if you can afford it eat every 2 hours keep calories low and not as much carbs. The more frequent you eat the more you raise your metabolism.

[shadowmoses]

Man i am really sorry to hear it...........hope ou make a full recovery and achieve your goals, you deserve it.

An egg white is the white part of an egg (everything apart from the yolk (the yellow part)). It takes a very skilled chef do seperate the yolk and the white lol. Well I think it does.

surgery was worth it .... one of my good friends took a shower on a hot sumer day... slipped , hit his neck on the faucet in the shower ( it was a tub shower ) .... got really tired ( didn't tell his mom what happened) , went to go to sleep ... when his little brother went to go wake him up for dinner a hour later he wasn't breathing... they found out through the awtopsi (spelling?!) that he died because he had a tumor right where yours was... died very shortly before his 14th birthday

RIP
