Did the doctors previously expressly forbid/advised against you from even lifting light dumbbells in your bed and such? Asking so I can know what to expect in the future.
Thanks for the reply.

No mate,
They didn’t say anything about it. I just didn’t do it whether I was feeling tired or scared that it might interfere my recovery. As I feel painless and energetic now I believe I can start.
But the doctors explicitly ordered me to take minimum 5000 calories a day for my bone growth.
Wow, 5000 is so much. Did you have trouble with that?
2 weeks ago I got a new X-ray my bone consolidation is really good but the discrepancy between the legs are same I'm really pissed off about this. There is a 0.7-0.8 cm discrepancy between the gaps but the doctors say that this is impossible to happen and probably a mistake occurs regarding the scale of the X-ray but this is ridiculous. All last 3 X-rays show the same. I don't feel any discrepancy when I walk but when I compare my lower legs it looks like the right one is like 1 cm longer. I'm really pissed because if this is true my right leg is lengthened like 6,5 cm's and left is like 5,7 and 5,7 is not enough for me.
Btw my final height is 1.75 in the afternoon. I was probably not 1.70 but 1.68,5-1.69.
We don't know if there is a discrepancy but this really makes me really sad and if there is a discrepancy I will feel like it was an unsuccessful surgery even though I'm taller.
Completely understand - i am 6.2 cm lengthened and been fighting a discrepancy since mid lengthening - it says the same on x ray and ok on telemetry but def feels like 1 leg is longer. Nothing i can do either in regards of consolidation, will have to see what to do. Might be that my muscles are really fatigued - 4 months 2 weeks now and walking is far from 100 %

Thats bs.
If you take 5000 calories and not even walk you'll become really fat in a month.
I workout hard and I don't need more than 3000 calories per day to keep my muscles and my 48cm arms in shape.
Bone consolidation and all injuries need quality on food, not 5k calories! If a doctor really advices you to take 5k calories per day for bone consolidation then he must be really an idiot and I'd never trust him to operate on me for anything.
I consumed less than 2.500 calories when I did my tibia LL and I almost had a preconsolidation at 5cm!
Also, 0.8 cm discrepancy most probably won't cause you any problem but it is too much to happen after LL where everything is fully monitored each month.
Discrepancies up to 0.3 cm are normal but 0.8 cm is way too much for a respectable doctor to not fix it before finishing lemgthening.
So dr Inan seems not so professional from what I see. And for the money he wants especially for internal LL (40k+ euros) I can't see why someone would go there for LL.

I have been eating 5000 calories a day since 4-5 months and I'm definitely not fat.
My father is also a respectable doctor and he also advised me to eat 5000 calories a day.
Also, my friend who went on a diet is having a really slow consolidation now.
Also, discrepancies up to 3/5 inches (like 1,5 cm's) are considered normal. I'm worried because If I have a 0,8 discrepancy my total gain will be around 6 cm and I considered 6 cm a bit disappointing. I'm not worried about any walking issues or back pain.
The discrepancy was fixed before the fixator removal.
I don't know about internals but I can say satisfied with tibias with dr. Inan.
I also showed my legs and X-rays to other orthopedists and they couldn't believe I was consolidated this fast and called this an amazing job.
I think he did a great job at Achilles lengthening.
I don't care a lot now.
I'm like 1.75 even 175.5 in the morning and that's okay.
Good for tou, 175cm tall is a decent height.
But I don’t think you know how much 5000kcal really is. You probably didn’t calculate it correctly the last months.

No, I do actually.
Average male needs 2500-3000 calories a day.
This is normal. I have two huge gaps. I need to fill them. I even pased 5000 sometimes.
They also told me that a lot of LL patients lose weight and they use calorie supports.

Exactly.
5000 a day and you get obese in a month. If you are doing that for months then either you don't measure it right or you have a health problem otherwise you can't stay not obese with so much calories intake which is completely useless and dangerous for any normal person, even more if he can't even walk normally.
3k calories needs only amateur bbers like me, not the average man. 5k is simply a joke.
Also, every discrepancy more than 0.5 cm needs an insole in the shorter leg to not cause problems and everything more than 1.5-2cm need LL to lengthen the shorter leg.
0.8 cm is not too much but it means that your doctor didn't treat you as professionally as he should because noone should have any discrepancy after LL, even 0.2 cm. LL is used to treat discrepancies, not to cause ones.
