Damn dude!! Just catching up. Sorry to hear this. It’s really good that you made the decision to go to the hospital. Some people are too stubborn. Glad they got that removed and now you can focus on getting better. Don’t worry about your cycle. Get on the mend. I’m curious what they said about your bloodwork since you had organ failure going on.
Thank you all my EVO brothers, thank you all so much for the kind words, I am doing well, recovery seems like it is taking so long , lol , I am so very much wanting to get under some weights and lift so badly, lol, I miss those iron plates lol. But it will be quite a while before the doctors allow me too. I’m still weak, especially in the legs, walking takes a lot of air from my lungs and leaving me breathless very quickly. The bloat has gone down drastically but there is still some. Stomach is still weak, I sleep most of the day other than getting up to eat or bathroom. But every week that goes by I notice my strength returning a little more. Stay well and stay blessed my brothers. ( do some extra reps for me , lol )
3 weeks post surgery…

@LeNguyen good to see you the EVO family misses you bro
but dont worry, give it time you'll recover soon
how long did they say you need time off?
The bloat and inflammation is important as your body goes through the healing process so don't stress over that
get some rest and you'll be back before you know it
you got a strong body before this so that will speed up your recovery
get some rest and you'll be back before you know it

Hello all my EVO brothers and sisters, it has been 3 months post surgery and I have missed you all dearly, I have truly missed the gym environment, it seems that there in the gym I can find my true peace. I have been cleared by all the doctors and surgeons, and taken off all medications and pain killers.
It will be a long road back for it seems I have lost most all of my progress from the last 4 years. And my journey back will be without any anabolics, I will not be able to afford any gear for quite a long while to come. My medical bills are astronomical!
Anyway I am blessed to be alive and healthy and for that I am truly grateful, as for my organs failure it has nothing to do with anything except being unlucky, here is what I look like now… my journey begins today to at least get to where I was before hospitalization, but I doubt I can go beyond my previous size without anabolics… will start with full body workouts for the first 2 weeks then will do a P/P/L twice weekly with one day rest between the cycle. KEEP PUMPING THAT IRON my brothers and sisters!!!

Great to hear that you have the all clear!
Yes, I was just unlucky, doctors say some people get gallstones and catch it early enough and medicine can resolve it, some get it because of genetics some get it because of what they eat or do not eat, some it’s hereditary, some like me it’s just bad luck, and was so severe it caused most all my other organs to start to fail ( multiple organs failing) heart rate was 198 / 138 at hospital, going into cardiac arrest, heart was beginning to shut down, they gave me multiple nitroglycerin pills to bring it back, this it what I looked like at the moment when I came back alert and realize where I was… yes I am very blessed to be alive , and I encourage all my brothers and sisters in EVO family DO NOT BE STUBBORN LIKE ME, get your yearly exams!!! It could save your life!!!! It looked like I aged 20 years that night

Happy to here youre back!
This. And I could still be better (I've binned off 2x prostate cancer sample test kits sent to me by the NHS recently). But even my generation is better than the ones before. Women tend to be perfectly ok with seeing the doc. Yet, for too long, older men waited until they were hanging on before going.Yes, I was just unlucky, doctors say some people get gallstones and catch it early enough and medicine can resolve it, some get it because of genetics some get it because of what they eat or do not eat, some it’s hereditary, some like me it’s just bad luck, and was so severe it caused most all my other organs to start to fail ( multiple organs failing) heart rate was 198 / 138 at hospital, going into cardiac arrest, heart was beginning to shut down, they gave me multiple nitroglycerin pills to bring it back, this it what I looked like at the moment when I came back alert and realize where I was… yes I am very blessed to be alive , and I encourage all my brothers and sisters in EVO family DO NOT BE STUBBORN LIKE ME, get your yearly exams!!!

It's also why we encourage blood tests
for sure getting ahead of any medical issue is smarter
glad that you're doing better

keep up the good work

Keep up the grind bro!
Nice job
I believe getting blood work on cycle is critical, and a must is getting your yearly exam with your primary care doctor for organ and cancer screening, it could help avoid what I had to go through and could potentially save your life if you have an illness and catch it early enough for some minor medication to resolve it, instead of it progressing to a point that it becomes life threatening…
Good morning to all my EVO brothers and sisters, today is 2 weeks of gym training, after 3 months off from surgery, I lost most all my gains, here is the picture the day I started back 2 weeks ago, and I did full body workouts 3 times a week for the last two weeks…( from here on I will do P/P/L ) and the second picture I took last night…
Stomach still has some swelling and bloating and I am still holding a lot of water and fat…

happy you're back hardcore you training again, congrats
its going to be hard, but we can do this
how about testosterone, you on TRT ?
Thank you brother… No, training natty, medical bills really making it financially tough right now, I can not afford gear, just pushing extra hard in the gym and eating very clean with very high protein… medical bills are astronomical so I will not be able to buy gear until probably late 2025@LeNguyen welcome back to the EVO family, we missed you

sorry to hear that. But 1 bottle of testosterone is about $50-60 and will last you likely 20 weeks, can you swing 100$? or out of budget @LeNguyenNo, training natty, medical bills really making it financially tough right now, I can not afford gear, just pushing extra hard in the gym and eating very clean with very high protein… medical bills are astronomical so I will not be able to buy gear until probably late 2025
I may maybe once, budget so tight right now, my mortgage and credit cards and everything is so behind, I’ll be playing catch up for quite some time… not sure how TRT doses would help, especially when I was running close to a gram, lol…

and training natty can be good. TRT is a must since you came off a gram but it can wait a bit.
Ok since you recommended it for being a must… I will buy test and give myself TRT doses… thanks so much for the advice brother!! 200mg’s weekly you think I should do brother?Thats not good but at least you're back trying hard

I think 200mgs even too much, right now just straight self TRT for recovery, 100-125mgs testosterone enanthate /week, 10mls would be like 20 weeks for you
