Guest guest Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Do you know if you replace just one meal like lunch with a protein shake you will Loose 20 lbs in no time, I did 75 lbs with 0 exercise it was while I had 4 surgeries last year. So a little weight off just might give the surgeon doctor confidence that you are motivated to Make this work for you. I am not at all suggesting its easy but its safer for you in the long run. I also lost my job of 23 years because of so many surgeries, they got fed up with me. I am 55 now and haven't worked for 10 years. But I have taken up a hobby, Which gets my work published in Australian and American magazines. I never thought I had An artistic bone in my body until I was forced to find something to do other than feel sorry for myself., So hang in there I am sure it will all come together for you. Power of positive thinking. !!!  mary.waspe@...

I am facing the bi-lateral TKR and am over weight. My doctor says there is nothing more he can do for me. If the surgeon says I have to loose weight first I will scream! I feel so emotional...my doctor asked me to loose 20 lbs and I just couldn't do it. I am depressed, lost my job in June to cut backs after 10 years and I can not get a job (even for free), because I come in pain limping...no one wants to hire me a middle aged broken employee. Sorry...I am a wreck today. I feel so used up and worthless today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
