Recovering from Surgery - Should i use post workout recovery drink?

Mary Russo

Hi, meniscus surgery 3 weeks ago. Going to PT twice a week, strength program 4 days a week and just completed Week 6 of training for IMLP 140.6
What type of nutrition should I take post strength training, if anything at all? I am not taking anything right now but wondering if I should be fueling with something to help the repair and strengthening of muscles.
Typically only take water for workouts that are an hour.

Protein for sure!  It will help repair and build the muscle. Immediately or soon after the workout is best.
