    Any transplant patients here?

    I am not a transplant patient, but my husband donated a kidney 2 years ago. It has been such a blessing to watch the changes in the recipient. Slow and steady wins the race. Welcome to the group and enjoy the journey!
  3. Yesterday I went in and had both my hips injected for Bursitis. Today I am in some pain for sure. Has anyone experienced expanding pain after surgery? I felt so much better until the last month. Maybe it is the weather, I do notice it more when it snows, rains or sleets on us! Any ideas on exercises I can do for Bursitis or hip pain? I don't really want to spend the rest of my life gimping around! Thanks!

    Hip pain increased?

    I don't think it is the surgery either. Must be my age and the weather. But, I have had arthritis since I was 19!
  5. Congratulations, you look great!
  6. My fitness Pal has been encouraging me to eat more. The last few days I have gotten to 1100 calories and FitnessPal tells me if I keep eating like this I will be down 10 pounds in 5 weeks. Giving it a shot since I have been at roughly the same weight for 3 weeks.

    Hey there, I am a 54 year old married female from Missouri. I have 2 grown boys, a small flock of chickens and a dog. I work part time in a medical office. Always looking for friends and support! Welcome to the forum!
  12. If you already have GERD the better surgery would be the RYN. I had terrible GERD and gastritis because of my first surgery and my surgeon suggested the RYN. I am now off my blood pressure meds, and my heart burn meds! A goof friend of mine had it and is now completely off her diabetic medication! By the way our stats are almost the same, only I am an inch taller.

    Slow losers club

    Hi, I am losing at the same rate as you, roughly 14 ish pounds a month. You know something? On my own I could never maintain a constant loss of weight each month. That is what helps keep me going. It may be slow, but slow is better for weight loss. You will keep it off longer, you won't have as much loose skin! Keep up the hard work, and you will be rewarded!
