Yours in WLS Journey,

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.
Yes..had MRI and Orhto surgeon is being conservative and doesn't want to operate yet. Got fluid drained from the knee and Cortisone shot. That has helped for now. But sometimes still painful. There was a time prior to drain/shot that I literally couldn't walk more than two or three steps.
Just starting this journey to a new me. Finally not dreading the future.
I was given the all clear to do stupid things in gyms at about 6-7 weeks. Your doctor will tell you when you can do what.
Have you gotten recommendations for the meniscus from orthopedists? I got 3 for mine (cut, cut, there's nothing wrong with you). I opted to pretend there is nothing wrong with me and the pain went away -- I can still tweak mine and have a pinch, but I (so far) have little lasting impact from the tear (medial mensical tear).
I walk/jog/run(pfft...run) and do jumping jacks/stairs/etc. I limit squats to 10 reps a day, body weight only as they give me the willies.
Ask your centre. We aren't to lift anything heavier than 10 pounds for a long time. No working our core for 4-6 months! However I got the go ahead to work isolated muscles and run 6 weeks out. I did have to promise to take it slow. I think they also take it person by person a bit too. If you were active before they are more likely to let you go back to previous activities. But if you never did more than short walks they might want you to wait a bit longer.

What does your surgeon say? It's pretty universal that we are not to lift anything more than a few pounds until 6 to 8 weeks post surgery. Don't ru****
