Hello Everyone,I have not been on my computer. I went in for a complete right knee replacement on August 2nd 2010 and my recovery from this surgery has been my main focus. Today I measured at 116 degree angle with my leg bent. I was very excited. In addition, I walked up my street, around the corner to the store and back home. This is the furthest I have walked in some time. Needless to say, I am doing better every day with my focus on exercise, walking, and movement strengthening.
In regards to my weight loss efforts. I have lost 170 lbs. and I have about 48 pounds more to lose. Then I will hold my weight for a few months before attempting to lose more, if I even want to lose more at that point. I will have to wait and see.
I have noticed that my taste buds are changing. Foods I used to like are no longer the foods that I enjoy now. I notice this a lot with sweet foods and certain vegetables. Mind you, I am comfortable with my taste buds changing. However I felt since I have observed these changes in likes and dislikes of foods that I should blog it here, in case other folk's have noticed similar effects in their taste buds changing since their Gastric Bypass surgerys.
I have met other Gastric Bypass Patients that have shared that they continued to like what they ate before surgery and that this may be why they put their weight back on.
Moreover I have noticed that my food portions are becoming smaller as I lose more weight and that I am less hungry as I drop the weight. Is this common? Just curious.
Unfortunately, I am still unable to sit at my PC long thus, my visits to this website will be sparce for awhile. There are things I still want to add to this website like my food journal. But this will take time and lots of sitting in one place that currently I am not up for that yet. Please be patient with me. I look forward to participating on here more regularly in the future. ~
