The Good News is.... (struggle pic included)



Recommended Posts

I am running 3 to 4 days a week. The bad news is... my knees are killing me. My good bad knee even hurts now. This knee struggle is real!! Ugh!! And the scale is broken (Yes broken LOL) because it's not moving!! *sigh*

Why not swim or use the elliptical if running is tearing your knees up.

I may have to start doing this. I usually try to stay outside in the summer and inside in the winter. Will have to make the change earlier.

Give your body a rest! Just take a few days off. You may even see the scale move. I also have bad knees and when they talk, I listen! On those days I just work my upper body. Epsom salts and Aspercream are my best friends!

Oh boy.

How old do you have to get before you realize that when your body hurts there's something wrong?

And that it's probably not going to get better until you stop hurting it.

Stop running. Do something different. See a rehab specialist, an orthopedist, anyone who doesn't think the way to fix something is to hurt it some more.

(Not being snarky -- just want you to stop hurting yourself!)

      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.
