    I went to Oktoberfest and walked around for about an hour and a half, I had a sample of sauerkraut (and when i say sample I mean only one or two strings) and a sip of pumpkin beer, it was interesting. My knee did not like all of the walking however, I did all of it, I did try to get a ride from the entrance to the shuttle and I could not get anyone to assist with that. I walked the whole way. My knee was so sore. I came home and I actually was able to do some peddling for 10 minutes after I rested for an hour. I drank a Protein Shake before I left and had Water at the fest, I had cottage cheese when I got home. I am a little sore, but I survived. The whole day is a NSV for me.

    @shoregirl75 a loss is a loss take it as a win. I am almost 8 weeks post op and have had days when the scale bounced up and down the same 2 oz for 3 or 4 days it was very frustrating.

    So I am trying not to be a pest to everyone with my hohum drum boring life I have broken the 330 mark and am proud to say that yesterday I weighed in at 329. I was so excited. I have lost a total of 54.9 pounds from the day I first went to the clinic and 30 pounds from my surgery date. I have had ups and downs. I am back at work now and have been for a few weeks now. My knee is not liking me much but I peddle every morning before I go to work so it makes it a little better. The Protein at work is the biggest challenge.

    I am at a strange place. I can eat salmon, and tuna as long as they are really moist. However, it seams every time I eat it never fails that I throw up 🤢 within a few hours. I it only happens when I eat fish. I guess I need to stop eating fish. I love it. I can eat it, I just can not keep it down. It took about an hour and a half for it to come up this time, however, it came up.

    I work in a call center so we have to maintain stats. I knew I would not be able to maintain them on the liquid diet so I took a week and a half before my surgery and then four and a half weeks half weeks after for a total of 6 weeks and I started back to work on a Wednesday so I only worked a half of a week and then I had a weekend off and now I am on my first full week back at work.

    I can totally understand that. Mine eats in front of me and worries every time about it bothering me even when I tell him that it doesn’t. We go shopping together and I get the few things that I can have and the rest of the grocery budget is for him. 😀

    Hi my real name is Gayle and I am new here my name here is IATTCOM which stands for "It's about time, taking care of me"
    Both of my parents died at the ripe young age of 55 and I am currently 54, I would like to out live them. My husband and his family are my support group as well as several of my friends. My own family however is divided. some of them care and some do not.
    I am moving forward in spite of everything. I am taking care of me.
    I am scheduled for my surgery on September 26th, and I am on my liquid fast right now. I have been on my caffeine free coffee for the past 3 months and it is not bad, the worst part of the fast is that I can only have one cup, I am used to having at least 3 or 4 cups a day.
    Of course this is only temporary.
