Guest guest Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Hy cheryl, How are you doing? Was still hoping to catch up on progress since we were operated on the same day, you can e-mail me on: mde_schutter@.... I gained about 5 kilo's in hospital, and the food really wasn't that nice....I thought it might have been caused by not going to the toilet, if you know what I mean. However since I am home I lost about 7 kilo's (is 7 kilo's one stone?)and I asked my physiotherapist if that is normal, she said the body has to work very hard after surgery.... I think it is all a meater of holding liquid and loosing mussle weight and I assume it'll come back to normal as soon as we can start a normal excercised life again. Regards, Mijke ----Original Message Follows---- I am not vain or obsessed with weight(!) but am miffed that I weighed a stone more a week after surgery even though I had eaten very little. I put some down to swelling and have lost half stone in last ten days. (I still have a little swelling). Have others experienced this?

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Hi, Did you account for the weight of the actual prothesis...........??? mine felt like it weighed a lb when I picked it up at the OS office............ and don't worry you will get weight off once you heal enough to exercise again.........
