downside

[sarahbellzz14-4 1]

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.

Happy holiday to you too Sarah. I hope you have a speedy recovery. You have accomplished much!! In the scope of things, 2 lbs isn't much. Take care

Jamilla E... After My hip replacement... I lived on rice pudding and cheerios... I'm a year & 1/2 out with my band.... Couldn't eat mushies until 6 weeks after being banded.
