Still praying for a speedy recovery.03Lightningrocks wrote: ↑Wed Jun 07, 2023 8:48 pmLosing 100 pounds is no easy task. Sounds like you are on the right track. One thing I have noticed is that the older I get, the harder it is to lose weight. All we can do is to keep working at it. If memory serves, I believe you are taller than me. I am 5'10" so being 100 pounds overweight is more of an issue for me than someone several inches taller than me. I peaked at 316 and am now down to 266 so I still have a ways to go. Every issue you listed is on my doctors list as well only all of mine begin with "pre-".carlson1 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 07, 2023 8:32 pmYour right. My health began to fail when I was hurt as LEO. Long story short ended up in a wheelchair for six years and gained up to 503lbs. I am down to 406lbs and have a long way to go. Heart, diabetes, DISH disease in the back has taken a toll. The good news I am still working on it.03Lightningrocks wrote: ↑Wed Jun 07, 2023 8:13 pmI would bet it is extra pain due to the surgery. Hopefully it improves in a few days to a week. At 62 I have problems on occasion with my right knee. I have had days I could hardly walk on it but I am real hesitant to do surgery just yet. I have lost about 45 pounds since January and the weight loss seems to have helped a lot. I am still a good 50 pounds overweight but my weight loss has slowed down. More walking and less eating should help.
Wishing you the best for your recovery.
I had knee replacement Feb 20 and I can honestly say I am so glad I did. It had gotten to a point I couldn't hardly walk. I too am overweight. Got up to 325 but I am now down to 260 and still have another 50 to go. Carl, i have to laugh you saying you were 6'4 and now at 6'3. That happened to me when I had back surgery in 2002. Went from 6'5 to 6'4 and lost another 1/2 inch since knee surgery.
say and your rehab will be much better.
