Hi. It seems like this site is helpful and informative, so I'll give this a shot. First, my info:
Part 1) I've never been a bodybuilder because I have no desire to be buffed. I have lifted weights for health reasons, but about 6 years ago I nearly destroyed my left elbow doing curls, and it was nearly a year before I could put dishes away without pain. I went back after that and lasted maybe two weeks before the pain started again. It took another six months to be pain free. I haven't done any lifting since. I did keep active though until about 3 years ago. For some reason, I started to lose my energy in a very short period of time. It got to the point that I was doing the bare minimum, and this continued until I was hospitalized 3 days before Christmas of 2021. It turns out that I was extremely Anemic. It wasn't just bleeding hemorrhoids as the doctor said. There was something else entirely. I also had 3 large, slow bleeding ulcers of which I didn't know about until one finally burst. I'm all fixed now. I'm slowly getting my energy back and have started working on dropping these extra pounds I've accumulated over the past few years.
Part 2) I'm taking Phentermine to help with the weight loss because it's the only way I can keep my caloric intake below my BMR (please don't judge me). I'm slowly getting more and more active day by day, and I'm making progress on the weight, but I also know that I'm losing muscle tissue too because it's hard as hell to ingest 160 grams of protein every day, even with shakes on a below BMR diet. I've also purchased a total of 200 5mg tablets of Oxandrolone for when the time comes.
My question(s) this: What sort of energy boost and mood enhancement can I expect. My musculature got pretty damaged over the past few years, and even with the Phentermine, it's been extremely difficult to go from somewhat active to actual exercise. Also, I'm still afraid for my left elbow, so the gym is out for now. I'm thinking 30 minutes of a good calisthenic workout 3 or 4 times a week to rebuild. It worked wonders in the military, so...... I turn 60 in May 2022. I'm thinking from everything I've read that 20 mg (10 mg twice a day) until the pills run out (50 days) should get me to the point where they're no longer needed to be able to exercise regularly. My cholesterol is good, and I'm hoping to keep it that way. Would a good omega 3 fish oil with a medium to low cholesterol diet be sufficient? I also need advice on a proper treatment for afterwards. 50 days is seven weeks and a day @ 20 mg, so I think I'll need it.
I've never taken a steroid, nor do I wish to continue to afterwards. I don't like that I need phentermine or the need to use Oxandrolone, but here we are. I don't like it, but I'm not going to be talked out of it. I'm just hoping that with the information I've provided, I can get some answers before I start.
Thank you.
