Guys I have been wondering, it’ll be best to start preparing for the surgery now.
I am 19 years old.
Will take me some time to save up the money. But I want to start preparing physically now.
Goal is to do 2 surgeries and gain 10cm plus.

Doing 2 surgeries I heard will make the bones a lot tighter, and would be difficult to stretch.

So guys can anyone please tell me, give advice to what to do.
I believe stretching will be good. But not sure what to do. Shall I look for videos on YouTube?

Is jogging good to stretch the bones?
Is cycling good? As I have a bike and often go cycling. Is taking the seat higher a good way of stretching the legs more?

Is gymnastics, being flexible good? Being able to do the leg split?

Is it okay to do work out on leg? Build leg muscles ?

And then final questions what to eat?
Cheese ?
Goat cheese ?
Milk ?
Dairy products to make the bones strong?

Anything else to add in the food? Any special diet ?

Please give any advice and feedback Thank YOU

Any LLers who have done the surgery.

Would be helpful if you told me your personal experience in stretching and if you were flexible before the Surgery

I think flexibility is the most important thing.
I was able to comfortably put my palms on the floor with straight legs.

It seems that cardiorespiratory ability would be great for overall health and fitness without building too much muscle/sacrificing flexibiility.

Maybe some more vets can weigh in...

Skinnier the legs the better. Flexibility and mental preparation are the things you need to prepare for the most. Everything else is minor in comparison.
