How much weight did you lose before you started gaining? Do you think the regain is directly related to the surgery?

I have had both of my knees done and understand the degree of immobility, pain, and recovery. My right knee was done in 2007 and was such a botch job, that it still impedes my ability to be consistant with lower body work-outs or walking/standing more than minutes. I am sure that I would not be such a slow loser if I could be more agressive with a walking program. My left knee was done in 2011 and gives me no trouble at all (different doctor - different hospital).

Just hang in there and stay with your program. My loss has slowed down (14 months) but I cannot blame it on my knees. My next adjustment needs to be weaning off of all that artificial sweetener I put in my tea. I think that would help....one adjustment at a time. I just had a family member in intensive care the last four days with a diabetic issue, and it has totally thrown off my schedule and availability to my preferred foods and my scale. I am sure there will be some repenting to do this week.

The further out I get, the more I realize that maintainance is going to be quite a test of character and dietary integrity as I seek to develop my new normal. I wish you good luck and good health.
