Honey I know what you are going through. I have, over the past several years had both knees replaced and I too am dealing with back issue. What I say to you is what I have to say to myself. I CAN DO THIS. I know I have gained some of my weight back but I have found that exercising in the pool, I do not get sore at all and the Water is great for hurting joints. My daughter is getting married in September and I would love to have the weight back off . So Please take care of you and consider finding a pool near you.

Sorry you are having such a hard time. I also have back issues which have also caused me to gain some weight. My chiropractor has suggested that now that I am moving a little better to get back into my Water exercise. There is no pressure on your joints and you are not sore after working out in the water. Hope this helps! Hang in there WE CAN DO THIS we have come this far!

Encouragement. I was 59 when I had my by-pass and I have done real well. it has been a year and 4 months and I have lost 150 pounds. I am feeling much better and so thankful for the weight loss as I am going in April to have my knee replaced. Having this surgery was the best thing I have done for myself. I am much happier and able to get around much better. Keep your eyes focused on taking care of yourself you deserve it!

Honey when you look in the mirror remember how much you love yourself. What you are doing for yourself, not only you but your family will benefit too. Try putting up some positive statements around the house so that you inspire yourself to keep going. Listen to your body not your head. Your head is telling you that the old way of eating is good but your stomach know difference. Please take care of yourself. I had my surgery October 1st 2014 and I am down 150 pounds. I feel like a new person. I am so thankful that I have taken off this weight as in April I have to have my left knee replaced. Having this weight off will help. My arthritis has taken over several of my joints but I am determined to keep a positive attitude and ENJOY my life. Best wishes to you and you can always drop me a note here and I will get back to you. Have a wonderful day! SMILE

Hi Nickbel I have found the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein powder to be very good. They are tasty and mix well with cold or hot. You can check it out online. I also ordered my Vitamins and Calcium from them. Good luck

Leag78, what I am finding is that people who are my true friends are very happy for me with the progress that I am making. It makes them laugh that I am more shocked then they are with my weight loss. I truly feel, that if your friendship was a true friendship that your friend would support you and be happy for you. I find that people come into our lives sometime for a season, sometime for a short while and then others are for a lifetime. Be proud of your accomplishments and know that there are folks out here that will encourage and support you. I am fairly new at writing here in the forums but when I read your post it triggered this response. I had my surgery October 1st, 2014 and I am down 100 pounds. I feel and look so much better. The best part is being able to move around easier and not be in pain. I wish for you continued success and highly suggest you find yourself some positive friends and keep your head high. Life is a journey and you have turned a new page in yours. Best of Luck... Carol

Hi, I have found that the Vitamins and Protein powders by unjury are very good. I order them from their web site.
