Well I dont get much excersise but I tried this morning, I put in my Richard Simmons tape Sweatin to the oldies and i was able to get threw one song Locomotion . I am sweatin and my knee is killing me. Will rest it for awhile then do next son . I figured if I can do this a couple times a day its a start . I need a total knee replacement so its hard to be on my feet for a period of time. I also cut back on carbs so hopefully I will start losing more weight. :lol:

That great - I had a left knee chipped while walking up stairs. I also eat one carb a day for Breakfast so that I don't eat any during the day beside fruit and vegs. Somedays, my knee is better than others so I also try to take it easy on exercise. Keep up the good work!

Deb and SisC,

One of my knees is in pain more since my surgery because I started at 3 weeks to walk. I think it aggravated something that may have happened a couple of years ago when I fell on vacation and never followed up for therapy like I was supposed to. I actually stopped walking and have not walked for about 10 days. Today, I got on a recumbent bike we have in the house and could not even handle 10 minutes! I will do it again when I get home from work because I know exercise really helps your progress.

I was banded April 8 and have lost 24 lbs so far. I struggle with the diet because with one fill, I'm not feeling the restriction like I think I should.

Good luck to you both and here's hoping our knees hold out! Let's face it. They will be much better off when we lose the weight!

Every pound you lose takes four pounds weight and stress off your knees.

Debra, perhaps you should call your doctor.

I'm in a similar situation and I have to say, misery loves company -- not that I wish it on anyone else! I need a hip replacement, but the surgeon doesn't want to operate until I lose some weight. He's the one who suggested I look into weight loss surgery. I have a tear to the labrum of the hip, and also bad arthritis, the surgeon said I have almost no cushion left between the ball and joint of my hip. My hip is very painful (and since I didn't know this until it happened to me, you probably don't know it either -- that means the pain is in the groin muscle that is on the inside of your leg near your crotch, and also all along the front upper part of the leg). Walking is painful for me but I am determined to work out at least some. I got the Wii Fit and I absolutely love it, so I try to do 20 minutes a day on that, plus walk rather slowly on my treadmill. Every day I'm afraid I'm going to wake up and discover that I pushed it too far and simply can't do anything because of my hip but, so far, so good.

I'm hoping that with every few pounds that I lose, the pain will get a little more bearable! Good luck to everyone!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
