    I am 1 year post knee replacement. I am not brave enough yet to try squats and the like. I am happy with walking for now. I am getting farther faster.
    Good luck with your recovery and weight loss journey.

    Ankle injuries suck. It took me a year to get mine back on the right track after surgery. I'm about two and a half years out now.

    Hi:

    I broke my tibia and fibula on Dec 2010 at a car accident. Three surgeries in 30 days including ankle reconstruction. Five months with impacted foot in the air, at all times, including personal hygiene. I gained almost 20 pounds.

    I lost them in 15 mnoths, with MFP help.
    I exercise at a gym, have a personal trainer session once a week to continue my rehab.

    I am grateful that I am alive and I can walk unaided, so far.

    MFP is a great tool to keep my weight under control.

    Good luck in your journey
