Bryan Johnson's Green Giant Drink

Bryan Johnson's Green Giant Drink. I am doing this protocol for at least a month and probably longer (pending my blood work) This is a modified version of his Green Giant Drink he has each morning with his morning pills. I don't put my whole scoop of protein powder in my 'Nutty Pudding' so I add the other 1/2 scoop to this and it helps the taste I believe. Link to my 'other' music based channel...
I am trying The Bryan Johnson Blueprint Diet
Просмотров 283Год назад
I am trying The Bryan Johnson Blueprint Diet. I have gone through many diet changes over the last 5-6 years since my surgery, but this one seems to resonate with me well (for now) My goal is to try this approach to implement a change, adhere as best as I can and then measure the results. I will try to eat this way for at least a month (small cheats) and then see what my blood work looks like. R...

I went for my one year checkup and she took blood. I wanted more blood tests than just lipid panel but … no dice. Might have to use inside tracker.

When you have a major surgery like that, your intestine shut down, and it's hard to go bathroom then you are full of gas. I know that feeling.
I’m not going number 2 for 6 weeks until I’m fully healed wish me luck guys 😂
The pain is immense, this is extremely serious. Wish I had seen this pre-surgery as well. Thank you for helping others
I know you did general anesthesia and some choose local anesthesia. Did they give you the option and you chose general since you had it before and it don’t bother you? I have an umbilical hernia that I’ll need surgery on and don’t want general. I’ve watched a lot of your videos and it looks like you have had a time. Hope all is going well!
Im scared...
my double hernia operation was on Friday, it now Sunday and still i cant poop, I cant eat either, thank you for the advice
I 100% agree….cut open procedure was a lot less painful…..2 repair was robotic and it hurts a lot more
Prayers 🙏
I got constipated on opiods pain killer when i had back pain! i kept throwing up, the back pain was excruciating because a disc had slipped out! they gave me something through and IV, and told me take more stool softener! for my inguinal hernia, they gave me no pain killers, but I had some from another procedure i took senekot once or twice with every pain killer, my first stool was a two days after surgery and it felt magnificient!💩💩💯👍
I had this same surgery with mesh 10 days back and still in pain even though the pain is just a bit diminished
Took me about two months to not feel it too bad.
@@chrishamilton3740 thanks for ur reply Chris
Wow, that exactly how I slept after the about 3 weeks. The first 2 weeks I slept in a chair next to my bed near the bathroom. The following week I kept in my mancave in a recliner. Last 3 nights I slept in my bed just like you did. Also I had to deal with phlegm tickling my throat making me cough it up and then I’d spit it out. PAINFUL? About 4-5 time a day. I’m good now.😁
Glad you are doing better!
Can you give some tips on how you were able to sleep in your chair? Was it a recliner? I'm contemplating doing so myself but I'm concerned my recliner may be too low
Thanks 🙏
Thanks very helpful 🙏
I've had that for as far as I remember, but now it is starting to hurt, so I got here... How long was the recovery after the surgery, to get back to regular activities?
Two months minimum.
I used to weigh 380 lbs I had mini gastric bypass and now weigh 14 stone or in lbs 198 i’ve started having issues the time convinced are reactive hypoglycaemia unfortunately my doctor thinks I’m mistaken. I’ve just had my bloods taken. They’ve come back negative. I need to speak to him on the phone and assured him that my blood levels have dropped below three several times and in the UK that should be a triple 9 phone call, thanks for your video. Very informative regards Glyn.
You could get a finger prick device and check it when it goes down and record it. I had to do this but now I can feel it and pretty much know the trigger (and thus how to prevent it) but even now in 2024, I know I have reactive hypoglycemia as a result of the VSG.
@@chrishamilton3740 some days I do test 20 times plus
Second surgery, so I knew how bad this part is. Painful as each gas/air bubble has to slowly work it's way thru your system. Currently Day 4 in the recovery from robo inguinal. When it's time to "go", do a bit of walking around to get your body's internal movement going. It helps to prop your feet up a few inches on something, and read something obscure to help take your mind off the anxiety/pain of having/trying to go. And usually, the cork will blow soon after.
I have to see the surgeon next week. Now I’m afraid too.
Don’t be scared, you’ll be ok!
He was right on the edge of the mesh. He should have gone in at a different spot
I’ll end up needing another hernia repair before it’s all said and done but I’m holding off as long as possible to allow techniques time to improve more.
I think you could see when the drugs kicked in!
I didn’t know any of this until a month ago. I had it real bad. I quit drinking a month ago and it’s gone now!! Thank you for sharing!
You look great so proud of you ❤😊
The same thing happened to me. My Hernia started out small and my Doctor talked me out of repairing it as well... thanks for sharing..
Day two and in excruciating pain
It gets better for sure. Be gentle with yourself.
Aint gone lie im scared now fuck
I wouldn’t be scared. Medicine techniques have gotten better since I made this video. Mine is still working… to a degree ;) Good luck.
I had severe constipation for almost a week while on holiday in Germany some years ago. On returning home I was still not getting more than a meagre bowel movement. I felt totally bloated and under the weather. Eventually I went to my GP and he probed the rectum. Straight away he phoned the hospital and told them what was going on. I overheard him saying to the consultant "the rectum is empty". If that doesn't ring warning bells I don't know what would. He printed a referral letter and told me to go immediately to A&E (ER in the US). Once there, they asked me some questions, had another probe around, then decided on a Fleet enema. Having squirted it in, the nurse told me to wait in the patients' toilet for at least 20 minutes no matter how strong the urge to push was. After 20 minutes I finally had the most relief I ever got from Number Twos. Thereafter the hospital doc warned of not eating enough fibre, which I've eaten more of ever since that most humiliating and embarrassing event. Since then I have had other bouts of constipation and I've found the magic elixir to drink is warm prune juice. It tastes vile, being so sweet, but it has an amazing effect on the bowels, usually within 60 minutes. Some people drink it hot, but I prefer warm to hot. A glassful is plenty. The other item in the bathroom is an enema bulb when nothing works. You fill this with warm water, lubricate down there a bit, then slide the enema bulb nozzle in and squeeze. At first I also found it rather distasteful, but anything is better than suffering severe constipation. So, my two go-to's are warm prune juice and if all else fails a rubber enema bulb.
It's crazy! Hard to poop and pee after belly button hernia surgery.
Been sleeved for 1 year. I get a sharp pain under breast bone, start to feel sick and cannot get in a position to get comfortable. I have to immediately take stomach protectors, indigestion meds and pain killers. Happens about once a month when I overeat. It’s so painful and last about 1-2 hours. Glad you’re feeling better.
It gets better over time for sure.
Spot on, Milk of Magnesia helped with me and don't forget to use your stool softener.
*Tips and information for recovering from Hernia Surgery if you live alone.* These are things you should do before you leave the house to go for surgery. This includes but is not limited to: Cook and prepare a week’s worth of meals and snacks before surgery. Meals that will be easy to pass through your digestive system. Things like vegetable soup with beans, carrots, celery…, oatmeal with prunes, egg salad, chicken salad, steamed carrots, broccoli, asparagus… low fat and low grease type foods. Snacks like apples, oranges, *ripe* bananas, all kinds of fruits and berries are good to keep things moving. Start taking a stool softener one or two days before surgery and then continue taking it when you get back home. Wear loose fitting clothes to the hospital and continue to do so when you get back home. Example: I took a shower that morning with an antibacterial soap, I wore clean socks, slippers, sweatpants with no underpants, a T-Shirt, and no jewelry of any kind. In a Ziplock bag place your house key, ID card, a credit card, medical insurance cards, and give it to your driver to hold. Do not take your phone to surgery. Leave your phone at home, on your nightstand, and fully charged. Place something you can grab onto next to your toilet to help you get on and off the toilet. Do the same for your bed and other areas you may sit. Have toothpaste, toothbrush, and floss out and ready to use. A glass to use for water to rinse out your mouth. You’re not going to be able to bend over to _cup water_ into your hands. If you don’t already have a _grabber,_ get one. Place a thermometer on your nightstand and make sure it is in working order. Have on hand at least two ice packs that you can wrap a clean cloth around to put over the location of surgery. Rotate them from the freezer as needed. This will keep the swelling down. Read your after surgery instructions and follow them. Listen to your doctor and follow his/her orders. Keep the wound area clean and GENTALY clean it with an antibacterial soap every morning and again before you go to bed at night. Have clean sheets on your bed. The next day get up and walk but be careful. I walked outside twice around the cul-de-sac each time I walked. I did this four times a day starting the day right after surgery. Twice in the morning, once in the afternoon, and then again in the evening. Have plenty of water and Gatorade on hand, and before you leave for surgery place a few bottles on your nightstand, computer desk, kitchen table, kitchen counters, your television chair, and in your refrigerator. Drink plenty of liquids. At least four bottles per day. Take pain medication as needed but don’t overdo it. All pain medications can cause constipation and trust me, you don’t want that. A list of movies you may want to watch. I am not going to sugarcoat this for you. It’s going to be hard. The first three days are not going to be pretty, they are hard and tough, so be ready. It gets easier on your fourth day. Good luck and I hope this helps.
I think I might have one I'm a little nervous i go Thursday. if I get it done will it last and I've heard people say dont use mesh idk
Mine was mesh and has lasted a while but it did need to be adjusted. I think it works better if you are in a consistent shape, which I was not, I lost a bunch of weight.
@@chrishamilton3740 what do u mean by adjustment...Did u hv to be cut up again?
I go for umbilical surgery in 1 1/2 weeks, when should I start the stool softeners?
At least a day prior
I have the abdominal support belt because my dr recommended it. But I don't recall him saying anything about stool softeners. How many days before the procedure should I take it? My surgery is in a week and a half?
I would take them 1-2 days prior, if I ever have another procedure.
It was the matrix trilogy that made you constipated....did same to me 😂 No for real...good advice I'm set for robotic inguinal hernia repair at the end of the month
Good luck bro
L4 L5 S1 nerve compression
It’s possible. I had a chiro once do some sciatic “elbow” compressions and is when I really felt this started happening after
Thanks for the video. How did the surgery go?
Worked. Took a while to get back to normal but I behave now as if it never happened
its anxiety attack bro
Yeah it’s possible for sure
Hi I will go to a doctor for their opinion but I punched a wooden door full blast like 10 plus years ago I was wondering if I should get surgery or get a split band. I’m gonna ask for x rays before but I don’t really have pain unless I clench my fist really really hard for long periods of time.
Thanks for sharing your experience. One things i disagree with you advising is “plant based diet with little meat/protein”. Protein is so very important for healing!! My earlier surgery to repair colostomy from first full open surgery emergency (which most likely has caused my 3 hernias) the protocol was even loading up on protein the week prior to surgery. Unless you have surgery on bowels/colon/intestines etc, you do not have to limit protein and should not. It is important to have well-balanced meal with both protein and fiber. My surgery in a week and having triple ventral hernia repair with component separation and mesh over entire abdomen. Good luck everyone!
Appreciate the comments and I do agree, protein is important for sure.
Protein is literally the only thing that triggers protein and collagen synthesis, needed to heal any wound and muscle tear. So yeah, eat around 40g of protein at least 3-4 times a day to optimize recovery
I’ve started adding more protein sources to my diet (my faves are fava bean tofu and seitan so far)
Thanks Chris, great advice ..Tim
About to have surgery in 2 weeks thanks for the advice
i am in the exact pain right now … and never laughed so much i know it’s not funny glad you feel better
Thank you for sharing these videos , I’m getting the same surgery tomorrow:)
Thank you
Mine is the size of a large orange. I am having my surgery in tomorrow
Good luck with it!
I just got hernia surgery and after 9th day I got same type of rashes only on my tummy. My doctor's nurse said it's a reaction of binder (belt) but I don't think it's a correct advice. I truly believe it's a iodines reaction.
Was chloroprep
I bought a massage tens unit and excercise every day, walking, bought nerve supplements
Night gets worse, side sffects
Sorry to hear that
I couldn't sleep, ran blood work all fine and back scan, neck scan nothing
I have in feet toes and legs. Don't drink alot, no diabetes. Dx 1 year ago. How about a back injury?
I have a long time back injury but I don’t believe it was involved.
Hi was it a sagital band repair or reconstruction?
