it’s just solid canola oil and water lmao, do you just eat spoonfuls of it on its own? i mean i guess butter would be better to consume like that but not by much…
Yeah I had hip surgery in March and these restrictions sucked. They were important but soooo hard to comply with, especially with sleeping. But even harder was not being able to lean forward while sitting - I could have no less than 90° between my legs and my trunk.
I had to really watch these positional restrictions for the first four weeks. After that I could ease back into a more full range of motion, but only to my comfort level (in other words, I couldn’t push anything and had to take it slooooowly). No running or jumping for the first 12 weeks. But now I can pretty much do anything I want. I do still have pain sometimes if I sleep in a weird position or if I go too hard in the gym, but more or less I’m back to normal. Certainly I’m better than before surgery!
My problem was called a femoroacetabular impingement, which is a congenital overgrowth of bone at the neck of the femur. It limited my range of motion (e.g., squatting was difficult) and led to a torn labrum (hip cartilage). The surgery was to sew the labrum back together and pin it down, and shave down the bone overgrowth. They did it all arthroscopically. I’m really glad I had it done, even though recovery was frustrating!
I talked a little more about recovery here if you’re interested.
