Way to go YODA!

I know how you feel with the prices at the GAP. Mom in law sent me a pair of dress pants and "guessed" at the size. I took them in for a refund (bought at Penningtons in the plus sizes). I was SO EXCITED!

I have a specialist appt after Christmas and I want to have lost even more to show him that it was a good choice. Have a great week!

Hmmmmmmmm okay....I think I have to admit to myself that I might have buggered up my knee 10 days ago. Right after one of my workouts (two Tuesdays ago) when I got off the elliptical machine I took a few steps and got an odd painful spasm in my knee. I thought it was just like a "crink" ya know...and had to work it out....then over the next serveral days it would get a sharp stabbing pain when I moved it a certain way (but the pain wasn't constant....just sometimes when I moved it or bent it.....). So, I haven't worked out in 10 days (on purpose because of this) and I made a doctors appt. (but it isn't until 15 Dec) to have it checked out. Wellllllll, today after work I did a bit of shovelling (omigawd, we went from nothing to about 30-40 cm of snow today....*sigh*) and after I came in the house my knee started to hurt continuously....(ie. not just sporadically)....and I'm limping now. So, I don't think I can stay in denial any longer....I will go see the doctor tomorrow (squeeze in) and see what the up is.....cause something is buggered for sure.

I don't get it.....I have been using the elliptical for several months....it's not like I was new at it....ya know?

Anyways......hopefully all is well because it sucks not having been able to work out for the last 10 days.

DAMN %!#%^%%$&^&*^ snow!!

UPDATE:

Okay....so I woke up this morning and the constant pain in my knee was gone...(back to the sporadic) so I'm back in denial now! I'm not going to see the Doc today (I'm sure much to Mr Yoda's dismay); I will wait to see my regular doc at my appt on the 15th. Really though.....no use going if the pain isn't there when I go......!!!

Just happy it is gone.

GO FIND OUT!

To be honest with you my knees are kinda screwed up right now too. I was going to talk to my doc in Jan.

Do you think that maybe because we can't eat a whole lotta food that maybe we are lacking some kinda Vitamin for ligaments or cartlidge or something. Don't you think tht it should have been alot worse when we had soooo much more weight on????

Be careful, and take care!!! Let us know what doc says!

I hear what you are saying Cloe, my back pain got worse after i lost weight, here i am thinking it is going to get better and instead it gets worse, what the hell is up with that.

Don't wait too long to see the doctor Yoda, mister Yoda is right you know you should still go and get it checked now. Take care.

Maria :)

Hmmm, ya'll are funny. Okay, I did end up going and it turns out that it is probably a small tear in my cartilage (it should heal on its own over time)...I was given some prescription anti-inflammatories/pain killers to take. The only things is (DAMMMMIT) that I can't do any impact exercise......(&^$$#$#%^%$^$$# I realllllllllllllllllllly need to do exercise..........without it I won't lose.

*sigh*.

I know I know....I have to let it get better but it SUX.

Hmmm Yoda, torn cartilage does not repair itself. It may feel better after a while because the inflammation may subside but once a tear always a tear. I don't understand why Docs don't tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth!!!!! The good news is that I have torn cartilage in my knee and it hasn't bothered me in years. Don't despair, your knee could get back to doing all the activities you were doing without pain and without intervention.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
