So this exercise thing we have to do is painful :( both of my knees hurt from it and then some of my other joints are hurting too. Chronicly. :( I just feel like complaining. Sorry.

I just started taking glucosamine chondroitin yesterday even though my stupid bariatric dr said it hasn't been proven to work yet my FP said to go ahead and try and that it could help and many other people have told me it helps them. But I'm not going back to my bariatric dr anymore more for numerous reasons and neglect so screw him. :P

And tylenol doesn't work on me. I don't know what to do. I want to stop exercising so my knees don't hurt anymore. It's funny how you really take your knees for granted until they hurt with everything you do.

Are herbal anti-inflammatories ok to take or no different than ibuprofen?

Dangit. I posted in the wrong section and can't figure out how to delete it from my phone.

Look into other forms of exercise that are easier on your knees. Water aerobics or cycling are easier on your knees. There is also something called voltren gel. It is a prescription anti inflammatory that goes directly on the joint. I have RA and that is what I use.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
