I’ve had clients run Proforma Tesofensine in 4 week blocks very successfully without any jitters and really stepped there fat loss forward. I like running them in short blocks only

MemberMarch 4, 2026 at 10:11 pm in reply to: Starting from scratch – ACL & Meniscus recoveryAnother day today day 10 into rehab to has been for my physio this AM and he’s impressed with what him doing already. We’re adding in some standing abductions this weekend.
The only issue at the minute is I’ve 100% tweaked my ankle from the little slip down the stairs and it’s now very uncomfortable/painful planting the bad legs foot down now.
So tomorrow I’m going to have to rest a little more from as putting my foot in plantar flexion is pretty painful.
When it rains it pours – up the BPC!

Got to take my first weight baring walk outside with my brace and crutches today. Only 3 minutes but was mega and progress again. When I do something new and push my rehab a little more the pain at night is noticeably worse than the day. It’s always that night that gets me and I struggle to sleep. It’s pretty rough.
But I’m cracking in and staying positive. Seeing Toby my rehab specialist tomorrow so see how he thinks I’m getting on

MemberMarch 2, 2026 at 10:49 pm in reply to: Starting from scratch – ACL & Meniscus recoveryAnother day of pain, frustration but positive vibes and progress at the same time, nothing much to report more of the same. Not moved much. Stitches out Saturday. Physio next Tuesday and see where we are with this brace

Yes defo remove and let the EQ drop off and retest bud. You may be someone who only needs a very small amount to modulate E2

You can see here there are may different answers so there won’t be one definitive.
I was having 21g a day in prep last year and was dry as a bone. I sweat a lot. But it’s not just salt it’s overall electrolyte balance. A mix of pink iodised and lo salt

Added a new exercise in today. Lying abduction. Which felt good. Challenging but nice to move a little more.
Swelling noticeably less today after dialling it back for 2 days.
But bruising has really come out today and my shins, calves, ankles are sore.
The pain was maybe 1 less notch today. Progressed my rehab again today which is mega. But still very much in pain, I got a little too confident and nearly decked it at the stairs today don’t know how I caught myself but that would have been bad.

MemberFebruary 28, 2026 at 9:25 pm in reply to: Starting from scratch – ACL & Meniscus recoverySame again today reduced volume try to control the swelling and pain as much as possible and will have a good crack tomorrow. I’m progressing in my movements but gone backwards with pain for 2 days and being able to plant my foot as th pressure in my shin and legs is mental.
Starting to get some like burning sensation pains across my knee areas it’s so weird trying to figure out what is actually hurting. Managed a shower today was a nightmare again trying to get in and out but we did it so feel a lot fresher.
Another day closer to the goal tomorrow

MemberFebruary 27, 2026 at 9:23 pm in reply to: Starting from scratch – ACL & Meniscus recoveryPain is at its peak now for next couple of days I feel. Rough today. Dialled volume back on rehab a touch and used the cryo cuff about 7-8 times today to keep on top of swelling.
Still feeling positive just want to get out of this fist phase of pain and lack of independence.
Once I can get back in the gym for some upper I’ll be happy

MemberFebruary 26, 2026 at 10:08 pm in reply to: Starting from scratch – ACL & Meniscus recoveryDay 5 today and I woke up positive and did my first round of rehab after breakfast and some work. And had made massive improvements.
I did notice as the day went on my pain increased and swelling and bruising increased. Day 5-7 is usually the worst. But I thought I was doing ok then this evening hit me hard. It was rough.
Throbbing and warm like it was pulsing my ankle and calf and quad were quite visibly swollen and painful to touch. I just can’t get comfy, I’m icing every hour this evening.
Still no ibuprofen. Just 3 lots of paracetamol today and I had some codeine tonight because I will be getting zero sleep at this rate
I did have a panic thinking is this normal. But it is normal I’ve basically had 5 different procedures in one sitting and gone through massive tissue trauma.
So I’ve just got to keep doing what him doing and put up with the pain and crack on

MemberFebruary 25, 2026 at 8:53 pm in reply to: Starting from scratch – ACL & Meniscus recoveryBeen a tough couple of days as expected. Took my dressings off today day 4 so I could shower etc and re dress the wounds.
There was a lot more blood than I expected but I got the dressing off eventually with some help and cut it off. Showered which was a right task. But felt better for it.
Had my first physio session with Toby. And he’s very happy with progress in extension and quad activation, I’ve just not got to get carried away.
There was some swelling and bruising come out today and the pain was higher. As expected. It’s probably going to get a little tougher over the next few days. Sleep isn’t great. And I feel pretty useless. But it’s all part of the process.

MemberFebruary 23, 2026 at 6:42 pm in reply to: Starting from scratch – ACL & Meniscus recoveryDay 2 – post surgery. Little more swelling today. And pain is much more apparent now nerve blockers have worn off.
Although I have more stability and ability to weight bare. I’m bored of being sat down already.
Rehab was frustrating and painful today. Really fucking frustrating…..your leg won’t do what you want it to do. It just can’t. And it hurts. But I will make sure I keep working to get it there. I’ve got another round of rehab to do now’s and then chill for the night. That will be 3rd one today I will go to 4 after seeing Toby Wednesday.
I have my bandage off then and have a waterproof dressing on.
We keep positive
