sarahbellzz14-4 1 Posted December 19, 2010 Hey everyone! It's been a while since I last posted. A lot has happend. I finally had the hip replaced on October 29th. I'm 7 weeks out and 15lbs lighter (which is a woo-hoo! all in itself) The downside of the whole thing, is that because of my prosthesis, I will always be 2lbs heavier then I actually am. I have not seen my LB surgeon since august (which is kind of a horrible thing) but I have been pre-occupied with the whole hip thing (basically I had a month to prepare from the date I was given to actual surgery day) and my physical therepy sessions. I think that I'm actually at my comfort zone. The 15lbs lost honestly is from the complete lack of appetite I had the first 3 weeks post-op where I lived on nothing but cheerios and rice pudding, I was on medication that made me really sick and those 2 seemed to be the only things that stayed down and eased the nausea. I figured I would check in on everyone, and if I don't hear from anyone... have a very happy holiday season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
