Welcome to the group. I’m new too. I’m end stage arthritis in both knees. Recently lost 50 pounds and looking to finally get them both replaced.

I’ve put off replacement for about 7 years. It can’t wait anymore. Time to be brave and get it done and finish taking my life back. Saw my surgeon last week. First knee will be done in early July. Second knee in December. Scheduling around my husband being off work to help me.

Hi all!! New to this group. I just turned 66 and I rejoined MFP a few weeks ago. I dropped out in 2022 after a miserable year tracking carbs while I tried the keto diet. 😖 I generally eat OK but I eat too much, too fast - something I’m trying to overcome. I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis in 2018 and have become increasingly sedentary in the last few years, which coincides with a 40 lb weight gain. And being overweight is no fun when your joints are already creaky, making exercise difficult. My husband, with the metabolism of a hummingbird, who is otherwise a great guy, can’t relate to my weight gain, chronic discomfort > pain, and everything that comes with being post-menopausal, blah, blah, blah. I don’t “do” social media, so this is my tiny outlet to meet and learn from others who are experiencing similar issues.
