One and a half years out - gastric sleeve surgery

[sweettea 300]

Ugh! I've gained FIVE pounds. I've been on a carb binge. AND this knee surgery has slowed me down. So unhappy. Back to diet AND going to try and push knee.

Sweettea I'm sorry you are having a hard time with your knee. TKR is no joke. My mom had it done and she really had to push herself in PT. She had a job where she was very active and walked all day and then got hurt at work. She's gained about 50lbs and she is very unhappy about it. She has seen my success and is contemplating getting the sleeve herself. She would be a lower BMI but has high BP, high cholesterol and probable sleep apnea.

Best of luck with your knee. Be vigilant with the carbs!

Carbs... I only eat a couple bites. I've really only been drinking Protein Drinks. The TKR is still aching and since I'm walking different my foot is cramping. Oh well. It is what it is. I've gained 4 pounds. Eeek!

No, no, no, no. I will NOT gain my weight back. This is WAR!
