My baby is a roadstar 1700. Cruiser. Adore it

Almost two weeks post op here. Today the diet got to me. Am worried about the low caloric intake. No room for more.actually felt small pangs of hunger today. Glad to see family. Lets keep in touch. 24 lbs out since first doc visit. 8 post op.

Interesting that everyone wants to loose weight, and to be healthy , maybe more beautiful. Then , as we look for non judgemental support on this forum we innocently get blindsided by the Jerry Springer show. Subjected to the inner ugly from a"few". Losing weight isn't going to fix the inside boys. Eat what you want. Everything in Moderation folks. This is a lifetime shift. You'll all do fine. Like I tell my kindergartners ... Be nice

I too had total knee replacement two years ago and a "clean out" on the left this summer. Not wanting another knee replacement for a long time I opted for the sleeve . Ortho said h
Each pound we lose is twenty lbs of pressure on those joints. Since I have lost 43 since meniscus surgery I took almost 900 lbs of pressure off those poor knees. Left knee is so much better!!!

Bgood you will do great. We re here for you!

Sept third was mine. Getting stronger everyday. Nausea the day after surgery but that was due to extra anesthesia needed. I'm of course trying to figure out the hard way about how slow I need to take in food.. Holy crampage bat girl! Couldn't stomach the same whey Protein I could pre op so I took folks recommendation to try protein premier shakes... Yay they are just fine and affordable. What is freaking me out is the amount of calories I am taking in right now . Four hundred max. I assume this will get better the farther away from surgery I get.... Yes? I'm worrying about my energy level when I head back into the classroom ...

Game girl.. Thanks for the laugh ( even though being itchy isn't funny) the visual of scratching like a monkey is exactly what I was doing after leaving the hospital. My issue was the pain meds.

Thanks for the posts. I cut back two weeks before I started pre op diet. Started pre op and am in to the fifth day. Not really horrible . No headaches. Just bored now with the same old tastes! I will get through it. Surgery sept 3. Waiting for approval from insurance. Doc did not require weight loss but I have lost . Any sept third folks? I too need surgery buddies.

Surgery scheduled sept 3. Doc sent things to insurance assume all will be approved. Started pre op diet today. Hit a wall about 6:00. Should drink another shake but can't get another one down. Full. Will try for five meals tomorrow .'only got four down today. Geez. Didn't realize there was a LGBT site yay
