I am almost a year from anniversary date of gastric bypass. Woot woot! But my knees are now killing me. Before the surgery I had issues with my knees and had anthroscopic surgery on the right one. However, now both my knees hurt so bad that climbing stairs or sitting low has become a huge pain. Could it be muscle loss and now too much weight is bearing down? I’m just at a lost. Anybody else experiencing this??

My knees cause me issues, but are much better after losing weight. I do however get injections from time to time. It doesn't help either that it is so damp and humid this time of year with spring storms. Recently I started take Move Free Ultra, it is a joint supplement and a very tiny pill. I also am trying Turmeric supplements and they seem to help as well. I hope you find a solution soon!

MzzDani do you like fish? If so try having salmon at least 2x a week so you can get the Omega 3 fats and all the other great nutrients that it has. It could be a 'not enough' healthy fats issue. As Lynda486 says Tumeric couldn't hurt. Vital source collagen/protein powder might be helpful too. I hope the pain subsides and keep us posted.

So I went and bought the move free ultra. I got the fast comfort and the triple action. Walgreens has them bogo free. Plus I got the turmeric. I’ll let y’all know how this goes.

      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.
