valerieluvs 20 Posted February 23, 2017 I've been feeling discouraged lately! The scale hasn't moved in a week and I started work again on Monday. I haven't been able to work out and I just feel really sad. I drink two Protein Shakes and 2 meals a day no Snacks and a lot of Water. My NUT said I should hit 800-1000 calories a day and I only hit around 500-600 a day. And I have rheumatoid arthritis and the pain came back this week so painful that's another reason I don't work out... Sorry for the rant/post just needed to write something down.

valerieluvs 20 Posted February 23, 2017 I'm 5 weeks post op too and I have RA as well. I haven't been able to exercise because of pain in my ankles. I was pain free until around week 4 and it all hit me. It sucks so much. What pain medication do you take if any? 1 dvmp61 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dvmp61 44 Posted February 23, 2017 I suffer from degenerative OA. I was okay until I tried walking for a period of time. The scale hasn't moved since my initial weight-loss. Really frustrating. 1 valerieluvs reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
