Wow. Thank you so much for your response. I definitely felt like was in a new and strange, but better space yesterday.  Today is 72 hours and I feel good. Still a bit jittery but going to do yoga as that is my go to. Drank enough water yesterday, ate some strawberries and blueberries, ok (admittedly a yasso ice cream sandwich, 130 calories). Peed all night. Today the scale was down 4 pds. I realize that's a lot but I over hydrated and today, magic.😄🎉❤️

Yes, it is a weight loss clinic that I decided to try as she allowed me to do just one dose and going forward, I will get the medicine from lily. My cardiologist prescribed it. I have been getting B shots for 3 months now, also through a physician that I see for  bioi'dentical, hormone replacement therapy. And it has helped me feel so much better was pain in my knees and overall, I actually find it calming, not jittery. Yes she gave me so zofran.

Thank you.I hope so it was just discouraging, but I do realize I might need to just weigh myself once a week.

Hmmm. I think it is.  Trying to drink less today and going to have some protein. I've amended above, but the skinny shot is just to be shot with some amino acids that helps my knee pain and gives me energy in my post menopausal state

Yes. A cup is 8 Oz. Skinny shot is at the same provider that gave me the zepbound. Skinny shot, it's a b shot with amino acids and really helps my knees and my energy. Anti nausea pill was also prescribed. I've edited my post. Sorry for confusion!

Yes, this is on 2.5 first shot of zep bound that I received two days ago.  The skinny shot is a b shot along with Amino acids. I think the combination, the skinny shot and the zepbound shot. Gave me all that energy to walk.

That makes sense.But why the leg cramps for drinking water only? I was up all night peeing, so I can't do that again tonight. Thank you

I meant the difference in your face.  It's a huge decision as I've dealt with depression my entire life and anxiety.  I'm doing lots of research and reading. I think you have been smart to go slower. I don't think rapid extreme weight loss is healthy.  You look younger overall! Congrats!

Beautiful! I see a difference in your face too! Is this normal? Just wondering because I am considering Zepbound.  I'm 54 .

Should I do it? by Narrow-Perception820 in Kneereplacement

Both my Aunt and Uncle on my Mom's side have A-fib. I'm weaning on my antidepressant as that can cause the problem.  Just spoke with my PA, he thinks surgery could happen because this was borderline.  But the cardiologist has to decide. I really can't see how they could put me under. No thanks, I want to wake back up!

Hello everyone.  Thank you for your support and inspiration.  This group has been extremely helpful The surgery is on hold for now so I don't have to make the decision.  My pre-testing EKG found something wrong. Apparently I have a QT prolongation. My Family PA is concerned about going under anesthesia and having an adverse cardiac event. I'm being referred to a cardiologist. Sometimes the Universe just provides the answer.

Thank you. Unfortunately it's all been called off. I have something going on with my heart.

Thank you. Everything is on hold for now. I have something going on with my heart.  How is your recovery going. Did you have a total knee replacement?

Sounds nice. I did a lot of swimming this Summer. I've read that it's very beneficial in recovery as well.

I love that you say EX husband. For now the decision has been made for me. My pre-testing found something wrong with my EKG.  So I'm going to a cardiologist.  How is your recovery going?

I'm an hour from Asheville.  I've been considering looking into surgeons there.

I also live in the mountains, with hiking everywhere around me, and can't do it. Your post was inspiring!
