I'm at the highest weight ever for me and I feel as if I angling to break my ankles I'm so heavy. I also feel that if I don't have surgery soon I'm going to become crippled. Anyone else feel this way?

When we start feeling like that is when we start looking for answers....RNY is one of them. Have you started that journey with a surgeon? You're in the right place for info.

You're not alone. I hurt my knees in February and they haven't healed because of my weight. I had shots and PT but in reality my weight has done me in. I try and workout but pain is all I get. However, I have found that being in the Water helps. I still hurt but I need to start something. Had my seminar last week and exercise seems to be key. I know I'll be in pain for a while but I try to remember why I'm doing this and know that in the end the pain will be no more. When you meet with your surgeon and nutritionist you'll figure out what will work.

I hope so, it's just so frustrating I have been dealing with the problem with pain for two years and I'm tired of it.

I felt the same a year ago & started having knee problems as well. I had RNY 10 weeks ago and I haven't taken any medication for my knee ever since. It's getting much better with every pound off. I lost 60 lbs and still have 120 to lose. I also work out at the gym 4 days a week & feel great

I know that it can be frustrating and I'm right there with you. Waking up this morning I looked like I didn't have knees because they were locked and I was in pain. It seems that in this process to becoming healthier our patients level is tested. Remember to look at your handle name and know that you are wonderwomen and you can do this. We are all here for you and will be here long after you are healthy. The day will come when you wake up and there is no more pain. That you are able to walk longer distances and still have the energy to go even further. This time right now might feel like a million miles away but you will get there. Keep the faith and we all are with you during this time :)

Well last night I fell. Now I really know what heavy feels like and it knocked the wind out of me. A bit scary but reality isn't always so nice to you. My journey awaits and I'm just blessed its a lot sooner than later.

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
