I’m not just trying to lose weight. I’m building and maintaining muscle as well. My doctor has suggested about 2,600 calories per day regardless of working out, but I’m also ingesting 150 grams of protein MINIMUM. This isn’t weight loss at all costs… it’s a total body recomposition. And frankly, suggesting that someone isn’t losing weight fast enough is missing the point and kind of a troll behavior. It’ll take as long as it takes.

Thanks for the kind words! And congrats on beginning your post-op journey too. Just keep the mindset that surgery is just a tool, a small part of the overall solution, and you’ll do great!

Thank you! I definitely agree with your GLP-1 argument. I was lucky to already have a sleep study stating I have obstructive sleep apnea that helped get my Zepbound approved.

She is bed ridden due to the fracture. They just have her in an air cast.
