MIA for MONTHS

Hi all I have been gone for MONTHS .

I just past my 1 year from converting from band to RNY , and I have to say , at first everything was going slow , then all of a sudden , the weight is gone. I weighed this morning because I noticed my pants ( size 10 ) seemed baggy and I was down to 169 , can't get my signature to change. I really don't need to loose anymore , my doc is THRILLED that he did such a good job !!

I have been trying to answer personal messages but the new set up , old to everyone else I am sure, won't let me reply.

I DID have hip replacement 10 weeks ago and I have to say my Bariatric doc and his staff came to see me everyday while I was in the hospital, I was so surprised and pleased to see them.

As for my hip replacement things are going well after the first 2 weeks that I thought life would never be the same. I am having a hard time walking because of my knees SOOO I am having knee replacement in the next month or so.

I have done NO EXERCISE since RNY and the weight has still come off , so for those of you that can't exercise , don't worry , this surgery will still work for you.

Blessing to all, and I will try again to reply to my PM's thanks for checking up on me

So good to see you back. If you remember you sent me to SAMs for the ninja. I knew your weight was coming off slowly and you couldn't exercise. That is my predicament also. So it is fantastic to hear the weight does finally come off even without exercise. I know exercise will move it along faster but with these two terrible knees I just can't. No one understands the pain of terrible knees. Anyway you give me renewed hope. I am 10 weeks out and 45 lbs down so a little slow here too. But I am not 25 years old and at the gym 6 days a week either. Rats.....

YEAH!  Made my day to see your post.  So happy for you.  Hugs, Barb

Barb,

I have been trying to answer you PM's but for some reason can't reply OR send any PM's.

I am down to 170 , size 10 -12...just fine with me .

I read your Pm , I sure know about the financial stuff , my husband took a 1/2 cut in pay 1-1/2 years ago and brother sued sis and I and got all of dad's estate because sis F'd up and I didn't catch it , and neither did the courts , and the only way to get rid of him was to give him everything , horrible sad mess , he was like a dog with a bone and went after everything and was willing to spend 2-3 hundred thousand on attorneys ...I just gave up , even had to give him jewlery that I had been wearing for20 years that my dad gave me, that hurt the worse. I pray that there really is karma.

Hi Molly,

I remember you too , I was so hoping that loosing the weight would take care of the knees and hip , but it just didn't .

I am continueing to loose without trying or the exercise , I was afraid 2 major surgeries in one year would cause a gain ( I guess that will always be a fear)

I am still on Fentenyl pain patch and norco , and was hoping to be able to cut back on the patch before the next surgery , but that isn't going to happen as my bosy has become acustom to the Narcotics....one day maybe I can get off them , I would really like to find out what is eating up all my joints !!

You will do fine , best advice , stay away from the scale as much a possible !!!

I just had a knee replacement 6 weeks ago.  The first three weeks were TOUGH, but it started to get much better after that.  I still have pain and don't have full motion back, but the ortho surgeon says that is normal and that it can take 6 months to completely heal and lose all pain.  Good luck!

Lora,

I am so glad you decided to have knee replacement!!

I am still on Fentenyl patch 50 and 25 staggered and Norco and valium

They decided to do the hip first  , supposedly it is easier to recover from....I sure hope not.!!!!  I will be doing my left knee first then my right , them maybe shoulder...I'm a mess....other than being thin of course :) sorry this is all running together but the new OH is not allowing me to hit enter and start a new paragraph...this is seriously frustrating !!! am I the only one having this problem , it won't let me change my signature either....I'm going back to face book :)

Hi Donna, I had the same issues with my new laptop & windows 8 had to go to my account, settings, message board then where it says default editor type select HTML Editor #2. Now I can reply to messages & change my Signature. Hope this helps. Good job on the loss.
