I should mention, also, that my tear was 17-19 month ago now. So I've had some healing time.
I walked with a cane for about a month after my meniscal tear. I couldn't walk, period, for about 3 days afterward -- I just kind of hopped around.
At any rate, your orthopedist will likely be the best source of information. I just wanted to share as there were some parallels and figure it couldn't hurt to share.

Each of us is so different on what our body will allow us to take in before exercising. If I am working out in the gym I don't worry about fuel. I go after work and just do my training. If i am going for a run I usually have a banana with some peanut butter on it. I fuel with maple syrup that has sea salt and ginger mixed in. Took a years for me to find fuel that my body will allow me take in and work out.

I exercise fasted with no issues. The only time I fuel is when I'm going to be running for more than an hour and then I eat one Clif Blok per half hour. I've also never had a problem keeping hydrated. I started walking immediately post-op and started doing everything else I could find once I was allowed to at 6 weeks post-op.

I am just starting back to the gym. What's the best way to fuel your body prior to exercising? I am one month out. I am not planning on doing anything crazy at this time mostly getting used to the gym and doing some cardio. Also how do you stay properly hydrated when I am only sipping 4oz/hr at this point.
