Tips for gaining weight after knee replacement

Posted by loll @loll, Dec 5, 2025

I’m 9 weeks out from my left knee replacement. I want to regain 5 pounds and be back to my normal weight.

I lost my appetite for a while given medications and extra energy needed for healing.

Now my focus is on rebuilding strength and endurance. All went well with my surgery and I’m done with the medications. Ty!

Most of us lost some weight during the early recovery period. But most of us are delighted with that.

My weakness: I used to live in Brooklyn and there is an incredible place there for cheesecake called "Juniors", Costco is now selling mini cheesecakes from Juniors. It would be an incredibly delicious way to gain five pounds.

@steveinarizona As much as I love cheesecake and other sweet treats, I think I need to focus on protein and re building some muscle mass!
