I underwent a total hip replacement, and just 9 days later I'm back in the gym and recovering far faster than I ever expected.
In this video, I walk you through my day-by-day recovery, what worked for me, what surprised me, and the unconventional recovery strategies I used. If you're preparing for hip replacement surgery or are currently recovering, I hope this gives you a realistic look at what's possible.
My Day-by-Day Recovery
Day 1
Pain and swelling
Follow-up checkup
Day 2
Swelling improving
Day 3
Swelling moved into the quad
Mobility improving
Day 4
Walker became optional
Day 5
Walking much better
Only used the walker for longer walks/cardio
Day 6
Surgeon follow-up
Extremely happy with my progress
Day 7
Walker completely gone
Started feeling somewhat normal again
Day 8
First workout
Walking normally
Day 9
Second workout
Nearly 100%
Quad still sore, but improving daily
What I Did Differently
These are the strategies I personally chose to use during my recovery. I'm sharing my experience, not giving medical advice.
No ice
MarcPro throughout the day
Red light therapy on my quad
Peptides:
GLOW
KLOW
SS-31
MOTS-c
BPC-157 / TB-500
Walked 20 minutes, 2-3 times per day
Ate a healthy, high-protein diet
No pain medications
My Biggest Advice
Get into the best shape possible before surgery. Your recovery starts long before the operation.
Walk as much as your surgeon and physical therapist allow.
Stay consistent every single day.
Pistol squats before surgery are a game changer. Having the strength and mobility to perform them beforehand made a huge difference in my confidence and function after surgery.
If you're facing hip replacement surgery, I hope my experience helps you prepare and gives you confidence that recovery can go well with the right mindset and dedication.
