Most of the weight I lost was likely water. I was bedridden for several weeks, and puffy from fluid retention. Because I upped my fluid intake, I expected several pounds to drop in the first week. This past week I have been slowly working into resuming my activities, so extremely light activity--a few slow walks, light housekeeping, light deskwork and one shopping trip--no driving, and sadly, no tai chi. I need the cane less each day--stairs are still a problem, and by evening the pain is greater after moving about during the day. If I continue improving I'm planning to restart tai chi soon. :)
