New day - fresh start. I need to lose 35 lbs by end of May. Gotta make my goal to qualify for 2nd knee surgery. It's the same 35 pounds I lost for knee surgery LAST year. First surgery went great, want the 2nd. Gotta stay committed to the outcome.

Hey 365, I can fully relate. I lost about 30 pounds last year so I could have a knee replaced. Got that done, great recovery, now I want the other knee done. However, I gained the 30 lbs back and am having a difficult time getting back on track. I know I CAN do it - cuz I did. I know I WANT to it cuz I want the other knee…

RE - knee surgery. Retired from medical field (X-ray tech) so I've seen the success and failures of knee surgery. Both parents had bilateral replacements (more than 20 years ago) and recovered will - but not for me. One friend had both done - 4 weeks apart. Another friend had both done - 6 weeks apart. My goal - - do the…

So - about weight-loss surgery. Not my choice because 1) already had too many necessary surgeries, not looking for electives at this time. 2) have a few friends that went that route and only 1 had maintained the weight loss and adopted a healthy lifestyle. I'm at 289 - totally doable to lose by healthy methods - just need…

Wow! I'm at 289 and trying to lose 50 lb before I see a doc for bilateral knee replacements. Had surgery scheduled in Jan this year but I canceled it. Hospitals overcrowded, calling in National Guard to assist, figured I didn't need to be there for elective surgery. I am bookmarking your post so I can use it as…

So sorry - please make me inactive or whatever works so you aren't expecting a weekly report from me. Life is just too complicated right now. I am trying to eat better but the scales is not my friend right now. I know I need to attend to my needs but right now my focus needs to be as caregiver to my aunt and getting her…

Somebody on here, maybe last month, talked about starting to live the life he wanted instead of waiting to lose weight for a new life to start. Thats what I want. Today I wanna start living the life I dream of instead of waiting to lose weight. Gonna be more sweat and aches then if I wait, but it beats the waiting game.…

I changed by weigh date from Tuesday to Friday because I made a trip to my Aunt's - she had a doctor appt I needed to attend. didn't know when I would be back and Friday works good. However - - I got on the scales this morning (returned home last evening) and the scales reflects that I have been partying big time!!!!!!!…

1.Nothing of value comes without effort. 2.What you want is determined by what you do. Have both of these quotes on my list of things to ponder. Think I'll put some thought into both if these quotes and wake up to a new day with a new start.

Ouch. Last 2 days have been an emotional roller coaster and I, knowingly, took it out on food. Argh. Argh. Argh. And argh again. I'm delaying my knee surgery to be caregiver to my aunt (86) who just had hip surgery. Same aunt I just spent a month with after her knee surgery. I feel so bad for her. She's family, no kids. I…

Yes! I'm with you! My ortho doc assumed I'm diabetic cuz I'm fat - ain't so. There is a ME inside that wants to be set free - not held captive by my weight. You CAN do this. Git 'er done!

My knee saga. In the past 10 months I have been caregiver to 2 people who had knee replacements. I spent a month, post surgery, with each. I went to pre-surgery appts with both. I organized exercise checklists for both. I even started doing the recommended exercises. I have all the tools - the pedaler, the roll pillow,…

Git 'er done in '21 !!! Had my first PT visit pre-knee replacements. I knew my knees weren't good but was a bit surprised that my flexion/extension numbers were not better. However, I am back on track! I am going to commit to PT daily (appts 3x a week for 4 weeks), increase my strength so I can recover well from surgery…

Met with surgeon about knee replacement. He wants 4 weeks of therapy before surgery to increase flexion. My knees only bend to 85 degrees. My sisters is 115 degrees. He also wants my BMI at 45 or less..... so that's 38 pounds! Possible I may not get surgery done this year... want both done in same calendar year. Hmm......
