Hi Kandy, I was thrilled to come across you on FS in that you have JUST had the surgery. For well over 10 years I have only thought about having it, while my family constantly is at me to have it done. I've been up to 286 and have yo-yo'd back and forth even getting down to 214 LBS which was phenomenal for me with NO exercise due to 2 needed but haven't had knee surgeries - due to my weight. I've had 2 blood clots in the past 10 years (a pulmonary embolism 10 yrs. ago due to having taken estrogen theray - only 18 DAYS worth and developed the clot) and last year had a clot in the leg...so you can see why I'm reluctant to have the surgery for fear of another one). My daughters keep pushing me to have the surgery and I am starting to believe that @ 66 years old, unable to exercise without my legs giving out, that my days are numbered if I don't do SOMETHING...I'm faithful to my diet/s once I begin until some major holiday will come along and then I think I can just "splurge" and end up staying off the diet until I get my mindset back to being strong and faithful again to it. I don't eat a heck of a lot to begin with - NEVER HAVE!! I am just predisposed to gaining weight after menopause and have had this problem with my knees for well over 10 yrs. I'm been on the KETO diet and seeing some results, but only been on it since Oct. 12th.
I am so curious to see what you eat and drink every meal now that you've just had this surgery, and to follow your journey, if you don't mind. I'm a rather "interior" person who doesn't get involved with a lot of people on FS, but like I said, I found your bio and was fascinated to see how and what you do after your surgery. The very BEST of success to you!!
Betty
