Scale not moving



Recommended Posts

I'm only 6 1/2 weeks post op and the scale isn't budging since I lost 35 pounds. I'm mildly concerned but highly frustrated. Any ideas on how to jump start weight loss again?

I want to exercise so badly but I can't right now. Both of my knees are badly arthritic, my left knee is the worst. I can barely walk without insane pain and constantly feeling like both kneecaps are just floating around. I started using my T.E.N.S. Unit last night in the hopes that it will help. Only time will tell.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

It's normal to have stalls, but exercise is important. Is there somewhere near that you could take Water aerobics or another pool-based class? Supposedly great for bad knees!

Had ex rays done today on both my knees and unfortunately I have severe arthritis in both my knees. This means no exercising since I can hardly walk. My Dr put a referral in for me today to go to pain management to get injections in my knees to add more lubrication and cushion. If the injections don't work, I will need knee replacements for both knees.

I'm in enough pain that I'm on the verge of crying at any god given moment. I can't take N-Saids due to the bypass surgery so all I can take are narcotics, which is good and bad, all at the same time.

As for Water aerobics, I don't have the money to join a gym. I may qualify for a reduced rate at the YMCA, I'll check into it tomorrow.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
