Guest guest Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 Hi i am so envious of all you Yankies loosing weight post op Here in Oz it has been conveyed to me by a few people that I have put on weight since my surgery 5 weeks ago. which did not make me happy at all as I thought maybe I had put on a little weight but not so that it was so obvious to the whole freaking world What is your secret? Is it something in the water? I know I do have extensive RA and that prevents me from exercising and I did increase my steroids to get over the pain and inflammation but what gives people the right to be so blatant and blunt about my weight gain Aussie -- 2 weeks out Well it is almost 2 weeks now since I had my knee replaced. I am doingreally great despite a rocky start. I can totally straighten my legand I can bend it at 100 degrees. Still on the pain meds and musclerelaxers. I lost over 20 pounds since surgery. I have no appetitewhats-so-ever and still feel nauseated. The doctor thinks it isbecause of all the pills I am on. But I am getting up and doing thingsright now, so that is good.Hope all of you who had or are going to have the knee replacement aredoing good as well.Robin__________ NOD32 1.1784 (20060929) Information __________This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system.http://www.eset.com__________ NOD32 1.1784 (20060929) Information __________This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system.http://www.eset.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's a little weight between friends? In fact, my doctor has said that he won't so anything about my hip until I've lost 30kg!
