ll months post op
Nov 03, 2010
Well, Here I am, at 11 months post op. I have lost quite a bit of weight, but I still want to lose about 50 more. I feel a heck of a lot better. I did so much damage to my bones being overweight. I have degenerative arthritis throughout my whole body and I had to have a total hip replacement on Oct. 12th. I am just starting to feel a little decent 3 weeks after my hip replacement. In the spring I have to have my knee replaced and then before 5 yrs is up, my other hip. I really did a job on myself huh? Well I am at a stall right now with my weight loss. I can not excersize at all....just what they want me to do in PT. I really cant walk very far. I use a walker and I am just starting to learn how to use a cane. I cant wait to be able to start to excersize again, my muscles feel weak and boy do I need a good workout . I have hip precautions to follow though because its only been 3 weeks and I can pop my hip out...that would mean back in the hosp. I dont want that...hell no! SO for right now, I just have to wait it out. I am a little upset with myself with the fact that I have been eating more than I should. I think I might have stretched out pouch a little bit. I am able to eat a whole sandwich. It was impossible to eat even a half of one before. One does completely fill me up though. I just dont want to go backwards. I was going through some pictures and I found one of me back in 2008, I was 322lbs there. I was so unhappy. It was hard to even roll over in bed or get up out of a chair....I look at those pics now and I wonder how I was surviving...what was I doing to myself? I was going through some tough times and I think I just absorbed myself in food. My stomach was so large that I could hold an abnormally amount of food in there without being sick. Thank God for this RNY weight loss tool I did. I know its just a tool, but thank God! I'll write more soon.
