Hey guys went for my first walk today since having my meds. I thought I'd do a lap of the lake, which is 1.25k, and if my legs were going well I would do a 2nd. Well I got to about the 1k mark and had a huge fall, doc sent me off for X-rays but they came back clear just a bad sprain on my wrist and bruised and grazed knees. I tell ya what, all I could think was imagine how much more it would have hurt back when I was 28kg heavier! Lol!

Oh no lucky nothing was broken it's very scary when you have a fall I hope it doesn't out you off maybe leave it a bit

I too have been out walking can't say I love it but it's necessary also done some time on the treadmill.

I'll go back again, knees aren't really that sore just my wrists killing me. Doc said I'm to go back on Friday if no improvement as they will then do an ultrasound to check for a fracture. Couldn't see any but she said that can be because of the swelling.

Hello everyone ,

And thank you Leanne for starting this group .

I have my surgery on 29th of July and sooooo nervous .

I was just wondering what you meant by "getting the staples removed ".

How are they removed ? Wasnt told about that at my appt with the surgeon.

Rest easy Sharon some people dont have staples and are glued back together - funny hey. But if like ne you have staples then it really is an easy job they are designed to come out easily and I suffered no pain at all and if you still have trouble believing me then let me say getting teeth cleaned is ten times worse. In fact although daunting I am confident that you will look back when its all done and think that was ALOT easier than I thought it would be. Its just hard to believe that before hand Goodluck.

Hi Shell, getting ready for a six hour drive to have a look at buying a house in a small city called Mildura.

Ive had a bad week as far as eating properly goes but Im still losing weight. Although at a lot slower rate now. But I am either nauseous from overeating or feeling hungry cos its been over two hours since I last ate. I hope this is only whilst I am losing weight.

I hope i dont end up regretting this. On the plus side im down in weight and still going.
