Well I'm nine months out from my surgery. I've lost almost 100 lbs. and I'm sooo happy about that ,but I can't exercize. I guess I thought with the weight loss I would be able to move better and the arthritis wouldn't hurt so much. BoyO was I wrong!! I hate that I'm so flabby. I've lost muscle mass that I couldn't afford to lose. My finger nails are pealing and cracking down past the quick and that hurts. I figured that it was from a lack of protein. I've increased that and I'm taking 2 multi-vitamins a day. So I'm kinda fed up with it. One other thing that is an up is the surgeon that refused to do my hip replacement because of mmy weight is going to do it now. The 21st of Feb. I hope and pray that after this is done I'll be able to move much better and can get off some of these pain meds. I'm praying that I'll be able to get rid of this cane that has become my constant companion. I guess I need to get some before and after pics on here. At least I'm not so embarassed to have my picture taken any more.
